ICertRequest interface

The ICertRequest interface provides communications between a client or intermediary application and Certificate services.

Client and intermediary applications can call the ICertRequest methods to perform the following tasks:

• Submit certificate request.
• Retrieve the disposition, last status, and identifier of a request.
• Retrieve the certificate issued for the request.
• Retrieve pending certificates for previous requests.
• Retrieve the certification authority (CA) certificate for the Certificate Services server.

ICertRequest is defined in Certcli.h. When you create your program, however, use Certsrv.h as the include file. Certcli.dll provides the ICertRequest interface. The type information for this interface is also in Certclil.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.

The ICertRequest interface is extended by the ICertRequest2 interface. All the methods defined by ICertRequest are inherited by ICertRequest2 and are documented under the newer interface.
