 NAME
   ModuleManagerAuthenticate - Module manager authentication (CDSA)

 SYNOPSIS
   # include <mds.h>

        CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI ModuleManagerAuthenticate
        (CSSM_KEY_HIERARCHY KeyHierarchy,
        const CSSM_GUID *CssmGuid,
        const CSSM_GUID *AppGuid,
        CSSM_MANAGER_REGISTRATION_INFO_PTR FunctionTable)

 LIBRARY
   Common Security Services Manager library (CDSA$INCSSM300_SHR.EXE)

 PARAMETERS
   KeyHierarchy (input)
           The CSSM_KEY_HIERARCHY flag indicating which embedded key(s)
           CSSM should use when verifying the integrity of the module
           manager.

   CssmGuid (input)
           A CSSM_GUID value identifying the calling CSSM. The elective
           module manager can use this value to locate the signed
           manifest credentials for CSSM.

   AppGuid (input/optional)
           A CSSM_GUID value identifying the application who invoked the
           calling CSSM.  The elective module manager can use this value
           to locate the signed manifest credentials for the application.

   FunctionTable (output)
           A set of function pointers for EMM-defined functions used by
           CSSM to communicate state changes related to module attach
           and module detach operations.

 DESCRIPTION
   This function should perform the elective module manager's half of
   the bilateral authentication procedure with CSSM. The CssmGuid is
   used to locate the CSSM's credentials to be verified. The credentials
   are a zipped, signed manifest.

   The KeyHierarchy indicates which public key should be used as the root
   when checking the integrity of the module manager. The AppGuid is used
   to locate the application's signed manifest credentials.  The elective
   module manager must check the application's credentials to verify the
   application's authorization. If no privileges are requested, then the
   application is not required to provide a GUID nor a set of signed
   manifest credentials.

   Upon successful completion, the elective module manager returns its
   function table to the calling CSSM. The EMM function table contains
   the set of EMM entry points that CSSM uses to notify the module
   manager of significant events such as module attach and module detach
   requests issued by an application, and event notifications issued by
   other module managers.

   This function symbol must be exported by the elective module manager,
   so CSSM can invoke this function upon completion of the loading
   process.

   This function is the first module manager interface invoked by CSSM
   after loading and invoking the main entry point. In particular, the
   elective module manager's initialize function is invoked by CSSM
   after this function has successfully completed execution.

 RETURN VALUE
   A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular
   error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other
   values represent an error condition.
