NPKI_CertChain

Contains information defining a certificate chain.

Structure

   typedef struct NPKI_CertChain
   {
        pnuint8                 cert;
        nuint32                 certLen;
        NPKI_CRL               *cRLStruct;
        nuint32                 flags;
        nuint32                 numErrors;
        NPKI_ERROR             *error;
        void                    reserved1;
        void                    reserved2;
        struct NPKI_CertChain  *next;
   }NPKI_CertChain;

Fields

cert: Points to the certificate.
certLen: Specifies the length in bytes of the certificate.
cRLStruct: Optional, not supported yet. Pass in NULL.
flags: Future use, pass in NULL.
numErrors: Future use, set to zero.
error: Future use, set to NULL.
reserved1: Future use, set to NULL.
reserved2: Future use, set to NULL.
next: Points to the next NPKI_CertChain structure containing the next certificate in the chain.

Remarks

This structure is used to pass a certificate chain to NPKIT_VerifyCertChain and is used in the certificateChain field of the structure Section 4.5, NPKI_VerifyCallBackStruct Flag Values“. The certificates in the certificate chain need to be in order, leaf to root.
