WS_GET_CERT_CALLBACK callback function (webservices.h)

  • Article

Provides a certificate to the security runtime. This callback is specified as part of the WS_CUSTOM_CERT_CREDENTIAL, which in turn may be specified as part of a security binding that requires a certificate credential. The runtime will invoke this callback when the channel (client-side) or the listener (server-side) is opened.

Cert ownership: If this callback returns a success HRESULT, the caller (namely, the security runtime) will take ownership of the returned certificate, and will free it when the containing channel no longer needs it. If this callback returns a failure HRESULT, the caller will NOT take ownership of, or even look at, the value returned in the out parameter 'cert'.
