To check whether a given ideal of an order is principal or not

Suppose θ is a root of a irreducible monic polynomial f of degree n. (In practice, I would like to deal with n=3 case.) Then, define the ideal class group of Z[θ], C(Z[θ]) by the set of invertible fractional ideals modulo principal ideals.

Given a polynomial f and a fractional ideal I of Z[θ], is there any way to decide I is principal or not?
