Syntax

typedef struct _SIGNER_CERT_STORE_INFO {
  DWORD          cbSize;
  PCCERT_CONTEXT pSigningCert;
  DWORD          dwCertPolicy;
  HCERTSTORE     hCertStore;
} SIGNER_CERT_STORE_INFO, *PSIGNER_CERT_STORE_INFO;

Members

cbSize

The size, in bytes, of the structure.

pSigningCert

A pointer to a CERT_CONTEXT structure for the signing certificate.

SIGNER_CERT_POLICY_CHAIN_NO_ROOT 8 (0x8)	Add only certificates in the certificate chain, excluding the root certificate.
SIGNER_CERT_POLICY_STORE 1 (0x1)	Add all certificates in the store specified by the hCertStore member. This flag can be a bitwise-OR combination with any of the other possible values for this member.
