SYNOPSIS
# include <cssm.h>
|
|
|
PARAMETERS
| TPHandle (input) | The handle that describes the add-in trust policy module used to perform this function. | |||||
| CLHandle (input/optional) | ||||||
The handle that describes the add-in certificate library module used to perform this function. | ||||||
| CCHandle (input/optional) | ||||||
The handle that describes the cryptographic context for signing the certificate. This context also identifies the Cryptographic Service Provider to be used to perform the signing operation. If this handle is not provided by the caller, the trust policy module can assume a default signing algorithm and a default CSP. If the trust policy module does not assume defaults or the default CSP is not available on the local system, an error occurs. | ||||||
| CertTemplateToBeSigned (input) | ||||||
A pointer to a structure containing a certificte template to be signed. The CRL type and encoded are included in this structure. | ||||||
| SignerCertGroup (input) | ||||||
A group of one or more certificates that partially or fully represent the signer for this operation. The first certificate in the group is the target certificate representing the signer. Use of subsequent certificates is specific to the trust domain. For example, in a hierarchical trust model subsequent members are intermediate certificates of a certificate chain. | ||||||
| SignerVerifyContext (input/optional) | ||||||
A structure containing credentials, policy information, and contextual information to be used in the verification process. All of the input values in the context are optional. The service provider can define default values or can attempt to operate without input for all the other fields of this input structure. The operation can fail if a necessary input value is omitted and the service module can not define an appropriate default value. | ||||||
| SignerVerifyResult (output/optional) | ||||||
A pointer to a structure containing information generated during the verification process. The information can include:
| ||||||
| SignedCert (output) | ||||||
A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the signed certificate. The SignedCert->Data is allocated by the service provider and must be deallocated by the application. | ||||||
DESCRIPTION
The TP module decides whether the signer certificate is trusted to sign the CertTemplateToBeSigned. The signer certificate group is first authenticated and its applicability to perform this operation is determined. Once the trust is established, this operation signs the entire certificate. The caller must provide a credential that permits the caller to use the private key for this signing operation. The credential can be provided in the cryptographic context CCHandle. If CCHandle is NULL, the credentials in the SignerVerifyContext specify the credential value.
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.
