NAME

CL_CrlAddCert: CSSM_CL_CrlAddCert - Revoke an input certificate (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS

# include <cssm.h>

API:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CrlAddCert
(CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
const CSSM_DATA *Cert,
uint32 NumberOfFields,
const CSSM_FIELD *CrlEntryFields,
const CSSM_DATA *OldCrl,
CSSM_DATA_PTR NewCrl)
SPI:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMCLI CL_CrlAddCert
(CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
const CSSM_DATA *Cert,
uint32 NumberOfFields,
const CSSM_FIELD *CrlEntryFields,
const CSSM_DATA *OldCrl,
CSSM_DATA_PTR NewCrl)

LIBRARY

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

PARAMETERS

`CLHandle` (input)
		The handle that describes the add-in certificate library module used to perform this function.
`CCHandle` (input)
		The handle that describes the context of this cryptographic operation.
`Cert` (input)		A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the certificate to be revoked.
`NumberOfFields` (input)
		The number of OID/value pairs specified in the CrlEntryFields input parameter.
`CrlEntryFields` (input)
		An array of OID/value pairs specifying the initial values for descriptive data fields of the new CRL entry.
`OldCrl` (input)
		A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the CRL to which the newly revoked certificate will be added.
`NewCrl` (output)
		A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the updated CRL. The `NewCrl->Data` is allocated by the service provider and must be deallocated by the application.

DESCRIPTION

This function revokes the input certificate by adding a record representing the certificate to the CRL. The values for the new entry in the CRL are specified by the list of OID/value input pairs. The reason for revocation is a typical value specified in the list. The new CRL entry is signed using the private key and signing algorithm specified in the CCHandle.

The CCHandle must be a context created using the function CSSM_CSP_CreateSignatureContext() (CSSM API), or CSP_CreateSignatureContext() (CL SPI). The context must specify the Cryptographic Services Provider (CSP) module, the signing algorithm, and the signing key that must be used to perform this operation. The context must also provide the passphrase or a callback function to obtain the passphrase required to access and use the private key.

The operation is valid only if the CRL has not been closed by the process of signing the CRL, by calling CSSM_CL_CrlSign() (CSSM API), or CL_CrlSign() (CL SPI). Once the CRL has been signed, entries cannot be added or removed.

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.
