 PARAMETERS  

TPHandle (input)
		The handle that describes the certification authority module used to perform this function.
ReferenceIdentifier (input)
		A reference identifier that uniquely identifies the CSSM_TP_SubmitCredRequest() call that initiated the certificate service request whose results are returned by this function. The identifier persists across application executions and becomes undefined when all local processing of the request has completed. Local processing is completed in one of two ways: For certificate services that do not require explicit confirmation by the requester, the reference identifier is invalidated when the corresponding CSSM_TP_RetrieveCredResult() function completes (by returning valid results or by failure, which blocks returned results). For certificate services that require explicit confirmation by the requester, the reference identifier is invalidated by successfully invoking the function CSSM_TP_ConfirmCredResult().
CallerAuthCredentials (input/optional)
		This structure contains a set of caller authentication credentials. The authentication information can be a passphrase, a PIN, a completed registration form, a certificate, or a template of user-specific data. The required set of credentials is defined by the service provider module and recorded in a record in the MDS Primary relation. Multiple credentials can be required. If the local service provider module does not require credentials from a caller, then the Credentials field of this verification context structure can be NULL. The structure optionally contains additional credentials that can be used to support the authentication process. Authentication credentials required by the authority should be included in the RequestInput. The local TP module can forward information from CallerAuthCredentials to the authority, as appropriate, but is not required to do so.
EstimatedTime (output)
		The number of seconds estimated before the results of a requested service will be returned to the requester. When the local TP module or the authority process cannot estimate the time required to perform the requested service, the output value for estimated time is CSSM_ESTIMATED_TIME_UNKNOWN.
ConfirmationRequired (output)
		A Boolean value indicating whether the caller must invoke CSSM_TP_ConfirmCredResult() to acknowledge retrieving the results of the service request. CSSM_TRUE indicates the caller must call CSSM_TP_ConfirmCredResult(). CSSM_FALSE indicates that the caller must not call CSSM_TP_ConfirmCredResult(). The value of this output parameter is not applicable until CSSM_TP_RetrieveCredResult() completes by returning results of the request or terminates in unrecoverable failure.
RetrieveOutput (output)
		A pointer to the results returned by the authority in response to the service requests submitted by CSSM_TP_SubmitCredRequest(). The output results are ordered corresponding to the requests. The structure of the response set is determined by the type of request. The caller and the service provider must retain knowledge of the request type associated with the ReferenceIdentifier.

 DESCRIPTION  

The single identifier ReferenceIdentifier denotes the CSSM_TP_SubmitCredRequest() invocation that initiated the request.

It is possible that the results are not ready to be retrieved when this call is made. In that case, an EstimatedTime to complete processing is returned. The caller must attempt to retrieve the results again after the estimated time to completion has elapsed.

This function can fail in total for any one of the following reasons:

• The reference identifier is invalid.



• The TP process cannot be located.



• The TP process encountered a fatal error when attempting to process the requests.

When this function completes, the set of return results is ordered corresponding to the order of the originating request.

Some certificate services require the requester to confirm retrieval of the results. The ConfirmationRequired parameter indicates whether the caller must confirm completion of CSSM_TP_RetrieveCredResult() by calling CSSM_TP_ConfirmCredResult().

 RETURN VALUE  

Complete Function	Function Return	RetrieveOutput	EstimatedTime
Result	Value
Request results returned to caller	CSSM_OK	Non-NULL pointer	NA
Request results not ready, but expected in the future	CSSM_OK	NULL pointer	CSSM_ESTIMATED_TIME_ UNKNOWN or <estimated seconds>
Fatal Error, results will never be returned	(!CSSM_OK)	NA	NA

The (!CSSM_OK) return value represents a specific error code.
