Function Documentation

int S_InitializePKIXPath (  CERTC_CTX    ctx, POINTER    params, SERVICE_FUNCS *    funcs, POINTER *    handle )  ;

This function is never called directly. To initialize or register the Cert-C Certificate Path Processing service provider, use the C_InitializeCertC() or C_RegisterService() function. Both functions take SERVICE_HANDLER and a POINTER to a parameters structure as parameters. SERVICE_HANDLER's Initialize parameter points to the S_InitializePKIXPath() function, and the corresponding POINTER should be set to NULL_PTR. Cert-C uses S_InitializePKIXPath() to initialize the Cert-C Certificate Path Processing service provider's functions. S_InitializePKIXPath() stores pointers to the Cert-C Certificate Path Processing service provider's functions in func's path member, which is a CERT_PATH_FUNCS structure. Parameters: ctx This input parameter is an initialized Cert-C context handle. params This input parameter should be set to NULL_PTR. funcs This is both an input and output parameter. On input, this parameter points to an allocated but uninitialized SERVICE_FUNCS union. On output, this parameter points to the initialized Cert-C Certificate Path Processing service-provider-specific functions in SERVICE_FUNCS's path member, which is a CERT_PATH_FUNCS structure. handle This output parameter points to the Cert-C Certificate Path Processing service provider's handle. Returns: If successful, returns 0. If not, returns a Cert-C error code.
