CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA

The CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA data structure is passed to CertOpenStore when the CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_FLAG is set. It allows the application to pass in not only a string indicating the name of the store to be opened, but also registry hKey information indicating a registry location other than the default location.

typedef struct _CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA {
    union {
        HKEY                hKeyBase;
        void                *pvBase;
    };
    union {
        void                *pvSystemStore;
        LPCSTR              pszSystemStore;
        LPCWSTR             pwszSystemStore;
    };
} CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA, *PCERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA;
 

Members

hKeyBase

Registry hKey handle.

pvBase

Pointer to a void to allow the system store location's base to be passed in a number of different forms.

pvSystemStore

Pointer to a void to allow the name of the system store to be passed in various forms.

pszSystemStore

NULL terminated ASCII string naming of the system store.

pwszSystemStore

NULL terminated unicode string naming of the system store.

Remarks

The relocate capability is used to access system stores persisted in the Group Policy Template (GPT). For example, the Group Policy Editor's (GPE) MMC snap-in extension for managing group policy trust lists and certificates will call CertOpenStore using the GPT's base HKEY.
