   ContextAttribute (output)
           The pointer to the CSSM_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE that describes the
           context attributes associated with the CCHandle handle and
           the attribute type. The pointer will be set to NULL if the
           function fails.  Call CSSM_DeleteContextAttributes() to free

   then a NULL pointer is returned.

   error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other
   values represent an error condition.
