Parameters

[in] PropertyFlags

An EnrollmentPolicyServerPropertyFlags enumeration value that specifies the default certificate enrollment policy (CEP) server. This can be one of the following values.

Value Meaning
DefaultNone
 No default policy server URL has been specified.
DefaultPolicyServer
 The policy server URL returned by GetPolicyServerUrl is the default value when an URL has not been specified.

[in] AuthFlags

An X509EnrollmentAuthFlags enumeration value that specifies the authentication type used by the client to authenticate itself to the CEP server. This can be one of the following values.

Value Meaning
X509AuthAnonymous
 Anonymous authentication.
X509AuthKerberos
 Kerberos authentication.
X509AuthUsername
 Clear text user name and password authentication.
Note  The user name and password are encrypted before transmission and are stored securely in the credential vault on the server.
 
X509AuthCertificate
 Client authentication certificate installed on the local computer and used by the server to verify the identity of the client.

[in] EnrollmentServerAuthFlags

An X509EnrollmentAuthFlags enumeration value that specifies the authentication type used by the client to authenticate itself to the CES. See the AuthFlags parameter for the possible values of the enumeration type. For Windows 7, only X509AuthCertificate can be specified.

[in] UrlFlags

A PolicyServerUrlFlags enumeration value that specifies policy server flags. This can be a bitwise OR of the following values.

Value Meaning
PsfNone
 No flags are specified.
PsfLocationGroupPolicy
 The policy server URL is specified in group policy by an administrator.
PsfLocationRegistry
 The policy server URL is specified in the registry.
PsfUseClientId
 Specifies that certificate enrollments and renewals include client specific data in a ClientId attribute. Examples include the name of the cryptographic service provider, the Windows version number, the user name, the computer DNS name, and the domain controller DNS name.

This flag has been included to address privacy concerns that can arise during enrollment to servers that are managed by administrators other than those who manage the forest in which the user resides. By not setting this flag, you can prevent sending personal information to non-local administrators.
PsfAutoEnrollmentEnabled
 Automatic certificate enrollment is enabled.
PsfAllowUnTrustedCA
 Specifies that the certificate of the issuing CA need not be trusted by the client to install a certificate signed by the CA.

[in] strRequestId
