NAME

CSSM_TP_ConfirmCredResult — Confirm credentials (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS

# include <cssm.h>
API:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_TP_ConfirmCredResult
(CSSM_TP_HANDLE TPHandle,
const CSSM_DATA *ReferenceIdentifier,
const CSSM_TP_CALLERAUTH_CONTEXT *CallerAuthCredentials,
const CSSM_TP_CONFIRM_RESPONSE *Responses,
const CSSM_TP_AUTHORITY_ID *PreferredAuthority)
SPI:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMTPI TP_ConfirmCredResult
(CSSM_TP_HANDLE TPHandle,
const CSSM_DATA *ReferenceIdentifier,
const CSSM_TP_CALLERAUTH_CONTEXT *CallerAuthCredentials,
const CSSM_TP_CONFIRM_RESPONSE *Responses,
const CSSM_TP_AUTHORITY_ID *PreferredAuthority)

LIBRARY

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

PARAMETERS

TPHandle (input) 

The handle that describes the certification authority module used to perform this function.

ReferenceIdentifier (input)
  

A reference identifier that uniquely identifies execution of the call sequence CSSM_TP_SubmitCredRequest() and CSSM_TP_RetrieveCredResult() (or the equivalent TP SPI call pair) to submit a set of requests and to retrieve the results of those requests.

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 the CallerAuthCredentials to the authority, as appropriate, but is not required to do so.

Responses (input)
  

An ordered vector of acknowledges indicating the caller's acceptance or rejection of results. The vector contains one acknowledgement per result returned by CSSM_TP_RetrieveCredResult() (CSSM API), or TP_RetrieveCredResult() (TP SPI).

PreferredAuthority (input/optional)
  

The identifier which uniquely describes the Authority to receive the acknowledgements. The structure can include:

  • An identity certificate for the authority

  • The location of the authority

DESCRIPTION

This function submits a vector of acknowledgements to a Certificate Authority for a set of requests and corresponding results identified by ReferenceIdentifier. The caller must execute the call sequence CSSM_TP_SubmitCredRequest() and CSSM_TP_RetrieveCredResult()(or the equivalent TP SPI calls) to submit a set of requests and to retrieve the results of those requests. Some Certificate Authority services accessed through the request and retrieve functions require confirmation. The function CSSM_TP_RetrieveCredResult() (CSSM API), or TP_RetrieveCredResult() (TP SPI), returns a value indicating whether the caller must invoke CSSM_TP_ConfirmCredResult(), (CSSM API), or TP_ConfirmCredResult() (TP SPI), to successfully complete the service.

The Responses vector accepts or rejects each result independently. If the caller rejects a returned result, the action taken by the authority depends on the requested type of service.

The ReferenceIdentifier also identifies the authority process state associated with the function pair CSSM_TP_SubmitCredRequest() and CSSM_TP_RetrieveCredResult() (or the equivalent TP SPI calls). The PreferredAuthority information can be used to further identify the authority to receive the acknowledgement. After successful execution of this function, the value of the ReferenceIdentifier is undefined and should not be used in subsequent operations in the current module attach session.

This function fails if ReferenceIdentifier is invalid or the Authority process can not be located.

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.
