ICertEncodeCRLDistInfo interface
The ICertEncodeCRLDistInfo interface provides methods for handling certificate revocation list (CRL) distribution information arrays used in certificate extensions.
A certificate extension can be created by using a CRL distribution information array stored in an extension handler COM object instantiated by the policy module. Each element in the array is a CRL distribution point structure that contains an array of names and name choices. This interface is useful for encoding and decoding szOID_CRL_DIST_POINTS "2.5.29.31" extensions; the SDK sample policy module uses this interface.
ICertEncodeCRLDistInfo is defined in Certenc.h. When you create your program, however, use Certsrv.h as the include file. Certenc.dll provides the ICertEncodeCRLDistInfo interface. The type information for this interface is also in Certencl.dll, which is shipped with the Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).
Certificate Services interfaces support both apartment-threading and free-threading models. For better throughput, free threading is recommended.
Members
The ICertEncodeCRLDistInfo interface inherits from the IDispatch interface. ICertEncodeCRLDistInfo also has these types of members:
Methods
The ICertEncodeCRLDistInfo interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Decode |
Decodes an Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)-encoded CRL distribution information extension and stores the resulting array in the COM object. |
| Encode |
Performs ASN.1 encoding on a CRL distribution information array stored in the COM object and returns the ASN.1-encoded extension. |
| GetDistPointCount |
Returns the number of CRL distribution point elements in a CRL distribution information array. |
| GetName |
Returns the name at a specified index of a CRL distribution point structure. |
| GetNameChoice |
Returns the name choice at a specified index of a CRL distribution point structure. |
| GetNameCount |
Returns the number of names in a CRL distribution point structure. |
| Reset |
Resets an array of CRL distribution information structures to a specified number of structures and clears the structure elements. |
| SetNameCount |
Sets the name count for the specified distribution point in a CRL distribution information array. |
| SetNameEntry |
Sets the name and name choice at a specified index of a distribution point in a CRL distribution information array. |
