CL_CertGroupToSignedBundle(3)
NAME
  CL_CertGroupToSignedBundle, CSSM_CL_CertGroupToSignedBundle - Convert a
  certificate group to a certificate bundle (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

       API:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertGroupToSignedBundle
       (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
       CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
       const CSSM_CERTGROUP *CertGroupToBundle,
       const CSSM_CERT_BUNDLE_HEADER *BundleInfo,
       CSSM_DATA_PTR SignedBundle)
       SPI:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMCLI CL_CertGroupToSignedBundle
       (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
       CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
       const CSSM_CERTGROUP *CertGroupToBundle,
       const CSSM_CERT_BUNDLE_HEADER *BundleInfo,
       CSSM_DATA_PTR SignedBundle)

LIBRARY
  Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

PARAMETERS
  CLHandle (input)
	  The handle that describes the add-in certificate library module
	  used to perform this function.

  CCHandle (input/optional)
	  The handle of the cryptographic context to control the signing
	  operation.  The operation will fail if a signature is required for
	  this type of bundle and the cryptographic context is not valid.

  CertGroupToBundle (input)
	  An array of individual, encoded certificates. All certificates in
	  this list will be included in the resulting certificate bundle.

  BundleInfo (input/optional)
	  A structure containing the type and encoding of the bundle to be
	  created.  If the type and the encoding are not specified, then the
	  module will use a default bundle type and bundle encoding.

  SignedBundle (output)
	  The function returns a pointer to a signed certificate bundle
	  containing all certificates in the certificate group. The bundle is
	  of the type and encoding requested by the caller or is the default
	  type defined by the library module if the BundleInfo was not
	  specified by the caller. The SignedBundle->Data is allocated by the
	  service provider and must be deallocated by the application.

DESCRIPTION
  This function accepts as input a certificate group (as an array of
  individual certificates) and returns a certificate bundle (a codified and
  signed aggregation of the certificates in the group). The certificate group
  will first be encoded according to the BundleInfo input by the user. If
  BundleInfo is NULL, the library will perform a default encoding for its
  default bundle type. If possible, the certificate group ordering will be
  maintained in this certificate aggregate encoding. After encoding, the
  certificate aggregate will be signed using the input context. The CL module
  embeds knowledge of the signing scope for the bundle types it supports. The
  signature is then associated with the certificate aggregate according to
  the bundle type and encoding rules and is returned as a bundle to the
  calling application.

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.

ERRORS
  Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.	See CDSA_intro(3).

       CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_CONTEXT_HANDLE
       CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_CERTGROUP_POINTER
       CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_CERT_POINTER
       CSSMERR_CL_UNKNOWN_FORMAT
       CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_BUNDLE_POINTER
       CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_BUNDLE_INFO
