CL_CertCreateTemplate(3)CL_CertCreateTemplate(3)NAME
CL_CertCreateTemplate, CSSM_CL_CertCreateTemplate - Allocate and ini‐
tialize memory for a certificate template (CDSA)
SYNOPSIS
# include <cdsa/cssm.h>
API: CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertCreateTemplate (CSSM_CL_HANDLE
CLHandle, uint32 NumberOfFields, const CSSM_FIELD *CertFields,
CSSM_DATA_PTR CertTemplate) SPI: CSSM_RETURN CSSMCLI CL_CertCreateTem‐
plate (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle, uint32 NumberOfFields, const CSSM_FIELD
*CertFields, CSSM_DATA_PTR CertTemplate)
LIBRARY
Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)
PARAMETERS
The handle that describes the certificate library module used to per‐
form this function. The number of certificate field values specified
in the CertFields. A pointer to an array of OID/value pairs that iden‐
tify the field values to initialize a new certificate. A pointer to a
CSSM_DATA structure that will contain the unsigned certificate template
as a result of this function.
DESCRIPTION
This function allocates and initializes memory for an encoded certifi‐
cate template output in CertTemplate->Data. The template values are
specified by the input OID/value pairs contained in CertFields. The
initialization process includes encoding all certificate field values
according to the certificate type and certificate encoding supported by
the certificate library module.
The memory for CertTemplate->Data is allocated by the service provider
using the calling application's memory management routines. The appli‐
cation must deallocate the memory.
RETURN VALUE
A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error
condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values repre‐
sent an error condition.
ERRORS
Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard. See
CDSA_intro(3). CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_FIELD_POINTER CSSMERR_CL_UNKNOWN_TAG
CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_NUMBER_OF_FIELDS
