CertAddEncodedCRLToStore function (wincrypt.h)
The CertAddEncodedCRLToStore function creates a certificate revocation list (CRL) context from an encoded CRL and adds it to the certificate store. The function makes a copy of the CRL context before adding it to the store.
Syntax
BOOL CertAddEncodedCRLToStore(
[in] HCERTSTORE hCertStore,
[in] DWORD dwCertEncodingType,
[in] const BYTE *pbCrlEncoded,
[in] DWORD cbCrlEncoded,
[in] DWORD dwAddDisposition,
[out, optional] PCCRL_CONTEXT *ppCrlContext
);
Parameters
[in] hCertStore
Handle of a certificate store.
[in] dwCertEncodingType
Specifies the type of encoding used. It is always acceptable to specify both the certificate and message encoding types by combining them with a bitwise-OR operation as shown in the following example:
X509_ASN_ENCODING | PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING Currently defined encoding types are:
- X509_ASN_ENCODING
- PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING
[in] pbCrlEncoded
A pointer to a buffer containing the encoded CRL to be added to the certificate store.
[in] cbCrlEncoded
The size, in bytes, of the pbCrlEncoded buffer.
[in] dwAddDisposition
Specifies the action to take if a matching CRL or a link to a matching CRL already exists in the store. Currently defined disposition values and their uses are as follows.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Makes no check for an existing matching CRL or link to a matching CRL. A new CRL is always added to the store. This can lead to duplicates in a store. |
|
If a matching CRL or a link to a matching CRL exists, the operation fails. GetLastError returns the CRYPT_E_EXISTS code. |
|
If a matching CRL or a link to a matching CRL exists, the ThisUpdate times on the CRLs are compared. If the existing CRL has a ThisUpdate time less than the ThisUpdate time on the new CRL, the old CRL or link is replaced just as with CERT_STORE_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING. If the existing CRL has a ThisUpdate time greater than or equal to the ThisUpdate time on the CRL to be added, the function fails with
GetLastError returning the CRYPT_E_EXISTS code.
If a matching CRL or a link to a matching CRL is not found in the store, a new CRL is added to the store. |
|
The action is the same as for CERT_STORE_ADD_NEWER, except that if an older CRL is replaced, the properties of the older CRL are incorporated into the replacement CRL. |
|
If a matching CRL or a link to a matching CRL exists, that existing CRL or link is deleted and a new CRL is created and added to the store. If a matching CRL or a link to a matching CRL does not exist, one is added. |
|
If a matching CRL exists in the store, that existing context is deleted before creating and adding the new context. The new context inherits properties from the existing CRL. |
|
If a matching CRL or a link to a matching CRL exists, that existing CRL is used and properties from the new CRL are added. The function does not fail, but no new CRL is added. If ppCertContext is not NULL, the existing context is duplicated.
If a matching CRL or a link to a matching CRL does not exist, a new CRL is added. |
[out, optional] ppCrlContext
A pointer to a pointer to the decoded CRL_CONTEXT structure. This is an optional parameter that can be NULL, indicating that the calling application does not require a copy of the new or existing CRL. If a copy is made, that context must be freed using CertFreeCRLContext.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.
If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. For extended error information, call GetLastError. Some possible error codes follow.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
CERT_STORE_ADD_NEW is set and the CRL already exists in the store, or CERT_STORE_ADD_NEWER is set and there is a CRL in the store with a ThisUpdate time greater than or equal to the ThisUpdate time for the CRL to be added. |
|
A disposition value that is not valid was specified in the dwAddDisposition parameter, or an encoding type that is not valid was specified. Currently, only the encoding type X509_ASN_ENCODING is supported. |
If the function fails, GetLastError may return an Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) encoding/decoding error. For information about these errors, see ASN.1 Encoding/Decoding Return Values.
