gsk_encode_export

Encodes a certification renewal request as described in PKCS #10, Version 1.7: Certification Request.

Format

   #include <gskcms.h>

   gsk_status gsk_encode_export_request (
                                          pkcs_cert_request *  request,
                                          gskdb_export_format  format,
                                          gsk_buffer *         stream)

Parameters

request

Specifies the certification renewal request.

format

Specifies the export format. These values may be specified:

gskdb_export_der_binary: Binary ASN.1 DERencoded.
gskdb_export_der_base64: Base64 ASN.1 DERencoded.

stream

Returns the byte stream for the encoded certification request. The application should call the gsk_free_buffer() routine to release the storage when it is no longer needed.

Results

The function return value will be 0 if no error is detected. Otherwise, it will be one of the return codes listed in the gskcms.h include file. This is a possible error:

[CMSERR_NO_MEMORY]: Insufficient storage is available.

Usage

The gsk_encode_export_request() routine exports a PKCS #10 certification request. The request can be exported using either the ASN.1 DER encoding for the request or the Base64 encoding of the binary value. A Base64 encoded stream will be in the local code page and will include the encoding header and footer lines.
