ICryptAttribute interface (certenroll.h)
The ICryptAttribute interface represents a cryptographic attribute in a certificate request. A collection of these attributes is contained in the CertificateRequestInfo structure of a PKCS #10 request as shown by the following example syntax.
CertificationRequestInfo ::= SEQUENCE
{
version CertificationRequestInfoVersion,
subject ANY,
subjectPublicKeyInfo SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes
}
Attributes ::= SET OF Attribute
Attribute ::= SEQUENCE
{
type EncodedObjectID,
values AttributeSetValue
}
AttributeSetValue ::= SET OF ANY
A single ICryptAttribute object corresponds to the attributes collection in the request. The ICryptAttribute object in turn contains a collection of IX509Attribute objects. Each attribute in this collection contains an object identifier and one or more values. Each value is an encoded Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) structure. Zero or more of the following objects can be included in the collection:
- IX509AttributeClientId
- IX509AttributeExtensions
- IX509AttributeArchiveKey
- IX509AttributeArchiveKeyHash
- IX509AttributeCspProvider
- IX509AttributeOSVersion
- IX509AttributeRenewalCertificate
Inheritance
The ICryptAttribute interface inherits from the IDispatch interface. ICryptAttribute also has these types of members:
Methods
The ICryptAttribute interface has these methods.
| ICryptAttribute::get_ObjectId Retrieves the object identifier (OID) for the attribute. (ICryptAttribute.get_ObjectId) |
| ICryptAttribute::get_Values Retrieves an IX509Attributes object that contains a collection of attributes. |
| ICryptAttribute::InitializeFromObjectId Initializes a cryptographic attribute by using an object identifier. |
| ICryptAttribute::InitializeFromValues Initializes a cryptographic attribute by using an IX509Attributes object. |
