NAME

   CL_CertCreateTemplate,
   CSSM_CL_CertCreateTemplate - Allocate and initialize
                                memory for a certificate template (CDSA)

 SYNOPSIS

   # include <cssm.h>

        API:
        CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertCreateTemplate
        (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
        uint32 NumberOfFields,
        const CSSM_FIELD *CertFields,
        CSSM_DATA_PTR CertTemplate)
        SPI:
        CSSM_RETURN CSSMCLI CL_CertCreateTemplate
        (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
        uint32 NumberOfFields,
        const CSSM_FIELD *CertFields,
        CSSM_DATA_PTR CertTemplate)

 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.

   NumberOfFields (input)
           The number of certificate field values specified in the
           CertFields.

   CertFields (input)
           A pointer to an array of OID/value pairs that identify the
           field values to initialize a new certificate.

   CertTemplate (output)
           A pointer to a CSSM_DATA structure that will contain the
           unsigned certificate template as a result of this function.

 DESCRIPTION

   This function allocates and initializes memory for an encoded
   certificate template output in CertTemplate->Data. The template
   values are specified by the input OID/value pairs contained in
   CertFields. The initialization process includes encoding all
   certificate field values according to the certificate type and
   certificate encoding supported by the certificate library
   module.

   The memory for CertTemplate->Data is allocated by the service provider
   using the calling application's memory management routines.  The
   application must deallocate the memory.

 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_FIELD_POINTER
        CSSMERR_CL_UNKNOWN_TAG
        CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_NUMBER_OF_FIELDS
