The eimGetTargetFromSource() function gets the target identity(ies) associated with the source identity as defined by source registry name and source registry user. This is known as a mapping lookup operation -- from the known source information return the user for this target registry.

See EIM Mapping Lookup Algorithm for the steps involved in a mapping lookup operation.


Authorities and Locks

EIM Data
Access to EIM data is controlled by EIM access groups. LDAP administrators also have access to EIM data. The access groups whose members have authority to the EIM data for this API follow:

The list returned contains only the information that the user has authority to access.


Parameters

eim  (Input)
The EIM handle returned by a previous call to eimCreateHandle(). A valid connection is required for this function.

sourceRegistryName  (Input)
The source registry for this lookup operation.

sourceRegistryUserName  (Input)
The source user name for this lookup operation.

targetRegistryName  (Input)
The target registry for this lookup operation. A NULL parameter indicates that the localRegistry set by the eimSetConfiguration() API or the eimSetConfigurationExt() API should be used.

additionalInfo  (Input)
Additional information that will be used as selection criteria for this operation. This may be NULL. This filter data may contain the wild card char(*).

lengthOfListData  (Input)
The number of bytes provided by the caller for the listData parameter. The minimum size required is 20 bytes.

listData  (Output)
A pointer to the EimList structure.

The EimList structure contains information about the returned data. The API will return as much data as space has been provided. The data returned is a linked list of EimTargetIdentity structures. firstEntry is used to get to the first EimTargetIdentity structure in the linked list. Each EimTargetIdentity entry contains a user name returned by this lookup operation.

EimList structure:

   typedef struct EimList
   {
       unsigned int bytesReturned;     /* Number of bytes actually returned
                                        by the API                       */
       unsigned int bytesAvailable;    /* Number of bytes of available data
                                        that could have been returned by
                                        the API                          */
       unsigned int entriesReturned;   /* Number of entries actually
                                        returned by the API              */
       unsigned int entriesAvailable;  /* Number of entries available to be
                                        returned by the API              */
       unsigned int firstEntry;        /* Displacement to the first linked
                                        list entry. This byte offset is
                                        relative to the start of the
                                        EimList structure.               */
   } EimList;

EimTargetIdentity structure:

   typedef struct EimTargetIdentity                
   {
       unsigned int nextEntry;         /* Displacement to next entry.  This
                                        byte offset is relative to the
                                        start of this structure          */
       EimListData userName;           /* User name                      */
       enum EimAssociationType type;   /* Association type               */
       EimListData sourceGroupRegistry;/* Source group registry name     */
       EimListData targetGroupRegistry;/* Target group registry name     */
       EimSubList  credentialInfo;     /* EimCredentialInfo sublist      */
   } EimTargetIdentity;

The sourceGroupRegistry will be returned if the target identity was found using a source association to a group registry. The targetGroupRegistry will be returned if the target identity was found using a target association to a group registry.

This API will always return 0 for the number of entries in the credentialInfo sublist. If you need access to the credential information, use the Get EIM Target Identities and Credentials from the Source (eimGetTargetCredsFromSource) API.

EimSubList structure:

   typedef struct EimSubList
   {
       unsigned int listNum;           /* Number of entries in the list  */
       unsigned int disp;              /* Displacement to sublist. This
                                        byte offset is relative to the
                                        start of the parent structure; 
                                        that is, the structure containing 
                                        this structure.                  */
   } EimSubList;

EimListData structure:

   typedef struct EimListData
   {
       unsigned int length;            /* Length of data                 */
       unsigned int disp;              /* Displacement to data.  This byte
                                        offset is relative to the start of
                                        the parent structure; that is, the
                                        structure containing this
                                        structure.                       */
   } EimListData;
eimrc  (Input/Output)
The structure in which to return error code information. If the return value is not 0, eimrc is set with additional information. This parameter may be NULL. For the format of the structure, see EimRC--EIM Return Code Parameter.
