GenerateCert Method

Generates a new certificate on the KMIP server.

Syntax

• C++
• Objective-C
• C

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GenerateCert(const char* lpszPublicKeyUniqueIdentifier, const char* lpszKeyAlgorithm, const char* lpszHashAlgorithm, int iKeyLength, const char* lpszSubjectRDN, const char* lpszId);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GenerateCert(LPCWSTR lpszPublicKeyUniqueIdentifier, LPCWSTR lpszKeyAlgorithm, LPCWSTR lpszHashAlgorithm, INT iKeyLength, LPCWSTR lpszSubjectRDN, LPCWSTR lpszId);

- (NSString*)generateCert:(NSString*)publicKeyUniqueIdentifier :(NSString*)keyAlgorithm :(NSString*)hashAlgorithm :(int)keyLength :(NSString*)subjectRDN :(NSString*)id;

#define MID_KMIPCLIENT_GENERATECERT 8

SECUREBLACKBOX_EXTERNAL int SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL SecureBlackbox_KMIPClient_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

Use KeyAlgorithm, HashAlgorithm, and KeyLength to specify the desired algorithms and key length. SubjectRDN should identify the new certificate's owner.

Use the Id parameter to suggest a unique identifier for the certificate object. The method returns the actual Id assigned to the new certificate (it may differ from the one you supplied).

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
