CertFindSubjectInSortedCTL function

The CertFindSubjectInSortedCTL function attempts to find the specified subject in a sorted certificate trust list (CTL). A subject can be identified either by the certificate's whole context or by any unique identifier of the certificate's subject, such as the SHA1 hash of the certificate's issuer and serial number.

Syntax

BOOL WINAPI CertFindSubjectInSortedCTL(
  _In_  PCRYPT_DATA_BLOB pSubjectIdentifier,
  _In_  PCCTL_CONTEXT    pCtlContext,
  _In_  DWORD            dwFlags,
  _In_  void             *pvReserved,
  _Out_ PCRYPT_DER_BLOB  pEncodedAttributes
);

Parameters

pSubjectIdentifier [in]

A pointer to a CRYPT_DATA_BLOB structure uniquely identifying the subject. The information in this structure can be a hash or any unique byte sequence.

pCtlContext [in]

A pointer to the CTL_CONTEXT structure to be searched.

dwFlags [in]

Reserved for future use and must be NULL.

pvReserved [in]

Reserved for future use and must be NULL.

pEncodedAttributes [out]

A pointer to a CRYPT_DER_BLOB structure containing a byte count and a pointer to the subject's encoded attributes.

Return value

If the function succeeds and the subject identifier exists in the CTL, the return value is TRUE.

If the function fails and does not locate a matching subject identifier, the return value is FALSE.
