The CERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN structure contains an array of chain elements and a summary trust status for the chain that the array represents.

Syntax

typedef struct _CERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN {
  DWORD                 cbSize;
  CERT_TRUST_STATUS     TrustStatus;
  DWORD                 cElement;
  PCERT_CHAIN_ELEMENT   *rgpElement;
  PCERT_TRUST_LIST_INFO pTrustListInfo;
  BOOL                  fHasRevocationFreshnessTime;
  DWORD                 dwRevocationFreshnessTime;
} CERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN, *PCERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN;

Members

cbSize

The size, in bytes, of this structure.

TrustStatus

A structure that indicates the trust status of the whole chain. The structure includes an error status code and an information status code. For information about status code values, see CERT_TRUST_STATUS.

cElement

The number of CERT_CHAIN_ELEMENT structures in the array.

rgpElement

An array of pointers to CERT_CHAIN_ELEMENT structures. rgpElement[0] is the end certificate chain element. rgpElement[cElement–1] is the self-signed "root" certificate element.

pTrustListInfo

A pointer to a CERT_TRUST_LIST_INFO structure that contains a pointer to a certificate trust list (CTL) connecting this chain to a next certificate chain. If the current chain is the final chain, pTrustListInfo is NULL.

fHasRevocationFreshnessTime

BOOL. If TRUE, dwRevocationFreshnessTime has been calculated.

dwRevocationFreshnessTime

The age of a certificate revocation list (CRL) in seconds, calculated as the CurrentTime minus the CRL's ThisUpdate time. This values is the largest time across all elements checked.
