CEnroll object

The CEnroll object represents the Certificate Enrollment Control. It is primarily used when programming in Visual Basic or another Automation language.

The CEnroll object exposes the following interfaces:

  • Methods
  • Properties

Methods

The CEnroll object has these methods.

Method Description
acceptFilePKCS7

Accepts and processes a PKCS #7 message containing a certificate, then stores the message to a file.

(Inherited from ICEnroll)
acceptFileResponse

Accepts delivery of the credentials issued in response to an earlier call to createFileRequest, and it places the credentials in the appropriate store.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
acceptPKCS7

Accepts and processes a PKCS #7 message containing a certificate. The PKCS #7 is input as a parameter.

(Inherited from ICEnroll)
AcceptResponse

Accepts delivery of the credentials issued in response to an earlier call to createRequest and places the credentials in the appropriate store.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
addAttributeToRequest

Adds an attribute to the certificate request.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
addCertTypeToRequest

Adds a certificate template to a request (used to support the enterprise certification authority (CA)).

(Inherited from ICEnroll2)
addCertTypeToRequestEx

Adds a certificate template (or "certificate type") to a request.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
addExtensionToRequest

Adds an extension to the request.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
addNameValuePairToRequest

Adds a name-value string pair to the request.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
addNameValuePairToSignature

Adds the name and value pair of an attribute to the request. It is up to the CA to interpret the meaning of the name-value pair.

(Inherited from ICEnroll2)
addNameValuePairToSignature

Adds a name-value string pair to the signature.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
binaryToString

Converts a binary data BLOB to a string.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
createFilePFX

Saves the accepted certificate chain and private key in a file in Personal Information Exchange (PFX) format.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
createFilePKCS10

Creates a base64-encoded PKCS #10 certificate request and saves it in a file.

(Inherited from ICEnroll)
createFileRequest

Creates a PKCS #10 certificate request, a PKCS #7 request, or a full Certificate Management over CMS (CMC) request and stores it in a file.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
createPKCS10

Creates a base64-encoded PKCS #10 certificate request.

(Inherited from ICEnroll)
createRequest

Creates a PKCS #10, PKCS #7, or full CMC format certificate request and stores it in a string.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
EnumAlgs

Retrieves the IDs of cryptographic algorithms in a given algorithm class that are supported by the current CSP.

(Inherited from ICEnroll3)

(Inherited from ICEnroll3)
InstallPKCS7Ex

The same as InstallPKCS7 except that it returns the number of certificates actually installed in local stores.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
removePendingRequest

Removes a pending request from the client's request store.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
Reset

Returns the certificate enrollment control object to its initial state.

(Inherited from ICEnroll3)
resetAttributes

Removes all attributes from the request.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
resetExtensions

Removes all extensions from the request.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
setPendingRequestInfo

Sets properties for a pending request.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
stringToBinary

Converts an encoded string to a binary data BLOB.

(Inherited from ICEnroll4)
