LIBRARY
Common Security Services Manager library (CDSA$INCSSM300_SHR.EXE)
PARAMETERS
DLHandle (input)
The handle that describes the add-in data storage library
module used to perform this function.
DbName (input)
The logical name for the new data store.
DbLocation (input/optional)
A pointer to a network address directly or indirectly
identifying the location of the storage service process.
If the input is NULL, the module can assume a default
storage service process location. If the DbName does not
distinguish the storage service process, the service cannot
be performed and the operation fails.
DBInfo (input)
A pointer to a structure describing the format/schema of
each record type that will be stored in the new data store.
AccessRequest (input)
An indicator of the requested access mode for the data store,
such as read-only or read-write.
CredAndAclEntry (input/optional)
A structure containing one or more credentials authorized for
creating a data base and the prototype ACL entry that will
control future use of the newly created key. The credentials
and ACL entry prototype can be presented as immediate values
or callback functions can be provided for use by the DL to
acquire the credentials and/or the ACL entry interactively.
If the DL provides public access for creating a data base,
then the credentials can be NULL. If the DL defines a
default initial ACL entry for the new data base, then the
ACL entry prototype can be an empty list.
OpenParameters (input/optional)
A pointer to a module-specific set of parameters required
to open the data store.
DbHandle (output)
The handle to the newly created and open data store. The value
will be set to CSSM_INVALID_HANDLE if the function fails.
DESCRIPTION
This function creates and opens a new data store. The name of the new
data store is specified by the input parameter DbName. The record
schema for the data store is specified in the DBINFO structure. If
any RecordType defined in the DBINFO structure does not have an
associated parsing module, then the ModuleSubserviceUid specified for
that record type must be zero.
The newly created data store is opened under the specified access mode.
If user authentication credentials are required, they must be provided.
Also, additional open parameters may be required and are supplied in
OpenParameters. If user authentication credentials are required, they
must be provided.
Authorization policy can restrict the set of callers who can create a
new resource. In this case, the caller must present a set of access
credentials for authorization. Upon successfully authenticating the
credentials, the template that verified the presented samples
identifies the ACL entry that will be used in the authorization
computation. If the caller is authorized, the new resource is created.
The caller must provide an initial ACL entry to be associated with the
newly created resource. This entry is used to control future access to
the new resource and (since the subject is deemed to be the "Owner")
exercise control over its associated ACL. The caller can specify the
following items for initializing an ACL entry:
Subject A CSSM_LIST structure, containing the type of the subject and
a template value that can be used to verify samples that are
presented in credentials when resource access is requested.
Delegation flag
A value indicating whether the Subject can delegate the
permissions recorded in the AuthorizationTag. (This item
only applies to public key subjects).
Authorization tag
The set of permissions that are granted to the Subject.
Validity period
The start time and the stop time for which the ACL entry is
valid.
ACL entry tag
A user-defined string value associated with the ACL entry.
The service provider can modify the caller-provided initial
ACL entry to conform to any innate resource-access policy
that the service provider may be required to enforce. If the
initial ACL entry provided by the caller contains values or
permissions that are not supported by the service provider,
then the service provider can modify the initial ACL
appropriately or can fail the request to create the new
resource. Service providers list their supported
AuthorizationTag values in their Module Directory Services
primary record.
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.
