Overview

Allows an application to compare two internal-form names to determine whether they refer to the same entity.

If either name presented to gss_compare_name denotes an anonymous principal, the routines should indicate that the two names do not refer to the same identity.

Return value

`GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.

`GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE`: The two names were of incomparable types.

`GSS_S_BAD_NAME`: One or both of name1 or name2 was ill-formed.
