The Novell® Public Key Infrastructure Toolbox furnishes you with a nondirectory-centered, public key infrastructure to manage and access X.509 certificates. The functions within this document are provided in the C programming language to provide the best cross-platform support for all platforms integrated with Novell eDirectory™. See Dependencies in Tasks for specific configuration and implementation requirements.
Novell Certificate Server™ interfaces, prototypes, and data types are defined in the Novell header files npkit.h, nverify.h, NPKIT_Verify.h, and NPKIT_x509.h. As in all early versions, the API is subject to change.
NOTE:When using this API, all functions should be treated as blocking functions.
