CL_CertCache(3)CL_CertCache(3)NAME
CL_CertCache, CSSM_CL_CertCache - Cache a copy of a certificate (CDSA)
SYNOPSIS
# include <cdsa/cssm.h>
API: CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertCache (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
const CSSM_DATA *Cert, CSSM_HANDLE_PTR CertHandle) SPI: CSSM_RETURN
CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertCache (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle, const CSSM_DATA
*Cert, CSSM_HANDLE_PTR CertHandle)
LIBRARY
Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)
PARAMETERS
The handle that describes the certificate library module used to per‐
form this function. A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing
the encoded certificate. A pointer to the CSSM_HANDLE that should be
used in all future references to the cached certificate.
DESCRIPTION
This function caches a copy of a certificate for subsequent accesses
using the functions CSSM_CL_CertGetFirstCachedFieldValue() (CSSM API),
or CL_CertGetFirstCachedFieldValue() (CL SPI), and CSSM_CL_CertGet‐
NextCachedFieldValue() (CSSM API), or CL_CertGetNextCachedFieldValue()
(CL SPI).
The input certificate must be in an encoded representation. The Cer‐
tificate Library module can cache the certificate in any appropriate
internal representation. Parsed or incrementally parsed representa‐
tions are common. The selected representation is opaque to the caller.
The application must call CSSM_CL_CertAbortCache() (CSSM API), or
CL_CertAbortCache() (CL SPI), to remove the cached copy when additional
get operations will not be performed on the cached certificate.
RETURN VALUE
A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error
condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values repre‐
sent an error condition.
ERRORS
Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard. See
CDSA_intro(3). CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_CERT_POINTER CSSMERR_CL_UNKNOWN_FOR‐
