TP_CertGroupToTupleGroup

NAME

CSSM_TP_CertGroupToTupleGroup — Create a set of authorization tuples (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS

# include <cssm.h>

API:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_TP_CertGroupToTupleGroup
(CSSM_TP_HANDLE TPHandle,
CSSM_CL_HANDLE  CLHandle,
const CSSM_CERTGROUP *CertGroup,
CSSM_TUPLEGROUP_PTR *TupleGroup)
SPI:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMTPI TP_CertGroupToTupleGroup
(CSSM_TP_HANDLE TPHandle,
CSSM_CL_HANDLE  CLHandle,
const CSSM_CERTGROUP *CertGroup,
CSSM_TUPLEGROUP_PTR *TupleGroup)

LIBRARY

Common Security Services Manager library (cdsa$incssm300_shr.exe)

PARAMETERS

`TPHandle` (`input`)		The handle that describes the trust policy service module used to perform this function.
`CLHandle` (input/optional)
		The handle that describes the certificate library module that can be used to scan the certificate fields for values. If no certificate library module is specified, the TP module uses an assumed CL module.
`CertGroup` (`input`)
		A group of certificates in the native certificate format supported by the Trust Policy module. The certificates carry authorizations for one or more certificate subjects.
`TupleGroup` (`output`)
		A pointer to a structure containing references to one or more tuples resulting from the translation process. Storage for structure and the tuples is allocated by the service provider and must be deallocated by the application.

DESCRIPTION

This function creates a set of authorization tuples based on a set of input certificates. The certificates must be of the type managed by the Trust Policy module. The trust policy module may require that the input certificates be successfully verified before being translated to tuples. It is assumed that the certificates carry authorizations. The trust policy service provider interprets the certificate authorization fields and generates one or more tuples corresponding to those authorizations. The certificates of the type managed by the Trust Policy module. The resulting tuples can be input to an authorization evaluation function, such as CSSM_AC_AuthCompute() (CSSM API), or AC_AuthCompute() (AC SPI), which determines whether a particular action is authorized under a basic set of authorization assumptions.

RETURN VALUE

A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values represent an error condition.

ERRORS

Errors are described in the CDSA Technical Standard.

CSSMERR_TP_INVALID_CL_HANDLE
CSSMERR_TP_INVALID_CERTGROUP_POINTER
