TP_CertSign(3)
NAME
  TP_CertSign, CSSM_TP_CertSign - Determine if signer certificate is trusted
  (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

       API:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_TP_CertSign
       (CSSM_TP_HANDLE TPHandle,
       CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
       CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
       const CSSM_DATA *CertTemplateToBeSigned,
       const CSSM_CERTGROUP *SignerCertGroup,
       const CSSM_TP_VERIFY_CONTEXT *SignerVerifyContext,
       CSSM_TP_VERIFY_CONTEXT_RESULT_PTR SignerVerifyResult,
       CSSM_DATA_PTR SignedCert)
       SPI:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMTPI TP_CertSign
       (CSSM_TP_HANDLE TPHandle,
       CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
       CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
       const CSSM_DATA *CertTemplateToBeSigned,
       const CSSM_CERTGROUP *SignerCertGroup,
       const CSSM_TP_VERIFY_CONTEXT *SignerVerifyContext,
       CSSM_TP_VERIFY_CONTEXT_RESULT_PTR SignerVerifyResult,
       CSSM_DATA_PTR SignedCert)

LIBRARY
  Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

PARAMETERS
  TPHandle (input)
	  The handle that describes the add-in trust policy module used to
	  perform this function.

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

  CCHandle (input/optional)
	  The handle that describes the cryptographic context for signing the
	  certificate.	This context also identifies the cryptographic
	  service provider to be used to perform the signing operation. If
	  this handle is not provided by the caller, the trust policy module
	  can assume a default signing algorithm and a default CSP. If the
	  trust policy module does not assume defaults or the default CSP is
	  not available on the local system, an error occurs.

  CertTemplateToBeSigned (input)
	  A pointer to a structure containing a certificte template to be
	  signed. The CRL type and encoded are included in this structure.

  SignerCertGroup (input)
	  A group of one or more certificates that partially or fully
	  represent the signer for this operation. The first certificate in
	  the group is the target certificate representing the signer. Use of
	  subsequent certificates is specific to the trust domain. For
	  example, in a hierarchical trust model subsequent members are
	  intermediate certificates of a certificate chain.

  SignerVerifyContext (input/optional)
	  A structure containing credentials, policy information, and
	  contextual information to be used in the verification process. All
	  of the input values in the context are optional. The service
	  provider can define default values or can attempt to operate
	  without input for all the other fields of this input structure. The
	  operation can fail if a necessary input value is omitted and the
	  service module can not define an appropriate default value.

  SignerVerifyResult (output/optional)
	  A pointer to a structure containing information generated during
	  the verification process. The information can include:

	  Evidence	      .PP (output/optional)
	  NumberOfEvidences   .PP (output/optional)

  SignedCert (output)
	  A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the signed
	  certificate. The SignedCert->Data is allocated by the service
	  provider and must be deallocated by the application.

DESCRIPTION
  The TP module decides whether the signer certificate is trusted to sign the
  CertTemplateToBeSigned. The signer certificate group is first authenticated
  and its applicability to perform this operation is determined. Once the
  trust is established, this operation signs the entire certificate. The
  caller must provide a credential that permits the caller to use the private
  key for this signing operation. The credential can be provided in the
  cryptographic context CCHandle. If CCHandle is NULL, the credentials in the
  SignerVerifyContext specify the credential value.

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).
