AddRecipientCert Method

Used to add recipient certificates used to encrypt messages.

Syntax

smime.addRecipientCert(certEncoded_Buffer, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method is used to add recipient certificates to the internal MessageRecipients properties used to encrypt the Message. The recipient certificate must be a valid PKCS encoded certificate. If the certificate provided is Base64 encoded it will be decoded first by the object.

The CertMgr class may be used to retrieve the appropriate certificate from the system.
