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.
