CSSM_ModuleAttach

NAME
  CSSM_ModuleAttach - Attach and verify a service provider
                      module (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cssm.h>

       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_ModuleAttach
       (const CSSM_GUID *ModuleGuid,
       const CSSM_VERSION *Version,
       const CSSM_API_MEMORY_FUNCS *MemoryFuncs,
       uint32 SubserviceID,
       CSSM_SERVICE_TYPE SubServiceType,
       CSSM_ATTACH_FLAGS AttachFlags,
       CSSM_KEY_HIERARCHY KeyHierarchy,
       CSSM_FUNC_NAME_ADDR *FunctionTable,
       uint32 NumFunctionTable,
       const void *Reserved,
       CSSM_MODULE_HANDLE_PTR NewModuleHandle)

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

PARAMETERS
  ModuleGuid (input)
          A pointer to the CSSM_GUID structure containing the global
          unique identifier for the CSP module.

  Version (input)
          The major and minor version number of CDSA that the
          application is compatible with.

  MemoryFuncs (input)
          A structure containing pointers to the memory routines.

  SubserviceID (input)
          A SubServiceID identifying a particular subservice within
          the module. Subservice IDs can be obtained from MDS or
          gleaned from insertion events reported through the callback
          function installed through CSSM_ModuleLoad(). Modules that
          provide only one service can use zero as their subservice ID.

  SubServiceType (input)
          A service mask describing the type of service the caller is
          requesting of the service provider module.

  AttachFlags (input)
          A mask representing the caller's request for session-specific
          services.

  KeyHierarchy (input)
          The CSSM_KEY_HIERARCHY option directing CSSM what embedded key
          to use when verifying integrity of the named module.

  FunctionTable (input/output/optional)
          A table of function-name and API function-pointer pairs. The
          caller provides the name of the functions as input. The
          corresponding API function pointers are returned on output.
          The function table allows dynamic linking of CDSA interfaces,
          including interfaces to Elective Module Managers (EMMs),
          which are transparently loaded by CSSM during
          CSSM_ModuleAttach().

  NumFunctionTable (input)
          The number of entries in the FunctionTable parameter. If no
          FunctionTable is provided, this value must be zero.

  Reserved (input)
          This field is reserved for future use. It should always be set
          to zero

  NewModuleHandle (output)
          A new module handle that can be used to interact with the
          requested service provider. The value will be set to
          CSSM_INVALID_HANDLE if the function fails.

DESCRIPTION
  This function attaches the service provider module and verifies that
  the version of the module expected by the application is compatible
  with the version on the system. The module can implement subservices
  (described in your service provider's documentation). The caller can
  specify a specific subservice provided by the module.

  If the subservice is supported as part of the CSSM framework as well
  as by an EMM, ModuleAttach attaches the Service Provider to the CSSM
  framework.  If the subservice is supported only by an EMM,
  ModuleAttach loads the appropriate EMM. The service provider is given
  an indication of whether it is being attached to the CSSM framework
  or an EMM.

  The caller can provide a function table containing function names for
  the desired services. On output each function name is matched with an
  API function pointer. The caller can use the pointers to invoke
  service module operations through CSSM.

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_CSSM_INVALID_ADDIN_FUNCTION_TABLE
       CSSMERR_CSSM_EMM_AUTHENTICATE_FAILED
