The Initialize method initializes the object from a SHA-1 hash of the new certificate.

Syntax

HRESULT Initialize(
  [in] EncodingType Encoding,
  [in] BSTR         strRenewalValue
);

Parameters

[in] Encoding

An EncodingType enumeration value that specifies the type of Unicode encoding applied to the input string that contains the hash.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the function returns S_OK.

If the function fails, it returns an HRESULT value that indicates the error. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table. For a list of common error codes, see Common HRESULT Values.

Call the SetValueOnCertificate method to associate the property with a certificate. Call the Renewal property to retrieve the hash.
