 NAME

   CL_CertCache,
   CSSM_CL_CertCache - Cache a copy of a certificate (CDSA)

 SYNOPSIS

   # include <cssm.h>

        API:
        CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertCache
        (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
        const CSSM_DATA *Cert,
        CSSM_HANDLE_PTR CertHandle)
        SPI:
        CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertCache
        (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
        const CSSM_DATA *Cert,
        CSSM_HANDLE_PTR CertHandle)

 LIBRARY

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

 PARAMETERS

   CLHandle (input)
           The handle that describes the certificate library module used
           to perform this function.

   Cert (input)
           A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the encoded
           certificate.

   CertHandle (output)
           A pointer to the CSSM_HANDLE that should be used in all future
           references to the cached certificate.

 DESCRIPTION

   This function caches a copy of a certificate for subsequent accesses
   using the functions CSSM_CL_CertGetFirstCachedFieldValue() (CSSM API),
   or CL_CertGetFirstCachedFieldValue() (CL SPI), and
   CSSM_CL_CertGetNextCachedFieldValue() (CSSM API), or
   CL_CertGetNextCachedFieldValue() (CL SPI).

   The input certificate must be in an encoded representation.  The
   Certificate Library module can cache the certificate in any appropriate
   internal representation.  Parsed or incrementally parsed representations
   are common.  The selected representation is opaque to the caller.

   The application must call CSSM_CL_CertAbortCache() (CSSM API), or
   CL_CertAbortCache() (CL SPI), to remove the cached copy when additional
   get operations will not be performed on the cached certificate.

 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

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

        CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_CERT_POINTER
        CSSMERR_CL_UNKNOWN_FORMAT
