 NAME

   CSSM_CSP_Login - Log user in to the CSP (CDSA)

 SYNOPSIS

   # include <cssm.h>

        CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CSP_Login
        (CSSM_CSP_HANDLE CSPHandle,
        const CSSM_ACCESS_CREDENTIALS *AccessCred,
        const CSSM_DATA *LoginName,
        const void *Reserved)

 LIBRARY

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

 PARAMETERS

   CSPHandle (input)
           Handle of the CSP to log in to.

   AccessCred (input)
           A pointer to the set of one or more credentials required to
           log in to the token or cryptographic service provider. The
           credentials structure can contain an immediate value for the
           credential, such as a passphrase or PIN, or the caller can
           specify a callback function the CSP can use to obtain one or
           more credentials.

   LoginName (input/optional)
           A name or ID of the caller. The value is used with the
           provided AccessCred to authenticate and authorize the caller
           for login with the CSP. The CSP can require that a name
           value be provided. If a name value is not provided, the CSP
           can assume a default name under which to perform the
           authentication and authorization check, or the login request
           can fail.

   Reserved (input)
           This field is reserved for future use. The value NULL should
           always be given. (May be used for multiple user support in
           the future.)

 DESCRIPTION

   Logs the user in to the CSP, allowing for multiple login types.

 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.

   Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.  See CDSA.
