The ICertEncodeSampleStructure2 interface provides methods that demonstrate how to handle a custom structure to be used in certificate extensions. A certificate extension can be created using a custom structure stored in an extension handler COM object instantiated by the policy module.
The interface methods are designed to handle the CERT_SAMPLE_STRUCTURE2_INFO sample data structure. This data structure is defined as follows:
typedef struct _CERT_SAMPLE_STRUCTURE2_INFO
{
DWORD dwVersion;
LONG lField1;
WCHAR * pwszField2;
FILETIME dateField3;
} CERT_SAMPLE_STRUCTURE2_INFO;
The following methods are provided by the ICertEncodeSampleStructure2 interface.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Decode | Decodes an ASN encoded CERT_SAMPLE_STRUCTURE2_INFO structure and stores the resulting structure in the COM object. |
| Encode | Performs ASN encoding on a CERT_SAMPLE_STRUCTURE2_INFO structure stored in the COM object and returns the ASN encoded structure. |
| GetDateField3 | Returns the date value contained in the dateField3 field of the CERT_SAMPLE_STRUCTURE2_INFO structure. |
| GetLongField1 | Returns the long value contained in the lField1 field of the CERT_SAMPLE_STRUCTURE2_INFO structure. |
| GetStringField2 | Returns the string value contained in the pwszField2 field of the CERT_SAMPLE_STRUCTURE2_INFO structure. |
