LIBRARY
  HRS Extensible Module Manager (CDSA$INHRSEMM_SHR.EXE)

PARAMETERS
  The parameter definitions are the same for the API and the SPI.

  ModuleHandle (input)             The handle of the attached HRS
                                   service provider.
  MaxFARRequested (input)          The requested FAR criterion for
                                   successful verification.
  MaxFRRRequested (input/optional) The requested FRR criterion for
                                   successful verification. A NULL
                                   pointer indicates that this
                                   criterion is not provided.
  FARPrecedence (input)            If both criteria are provided,
                                   this parameter indicates which
                                   takes precedence: CSSM_TRUE for
                                   FAR, CSSM_FALSE for FRR.
  ProcessedBIR (input)             The BIR to be verified, or its handle.
  StoredTemplate (input)           The BIR to be verified against,
                                   or its key in a database, or its
                                   handle.
  AdaptedBIR (output/optional)     A pointer to the handle of the
                                   adapted BIR. This parameter can be
                                   NULL if an Adapted BIR is not
                                   desired. Not all service providers
                                   support the adaptation of BIRs. The
                                   function may return a handle value
                                   of CSSM_HRS_UNSUPPORTED_BIR_HANDLE
                                   to indicate that adaptation is not
                                   supported, or a value of
                                   CSSM_HRS_INVALID_BIR_HANDLE to
                                   indicate that adaptation was not
                                   possible.
  Result (output)                  A pointer to a Boolean value indicating
                                   (CSSM_TRUE/CSSM_FALSE) whether the
                                   BIRs matched or not according to the
                                   specified criteria.
  FARAchieved (output)            A pointer to an FAR value indicating
                                  the closeness of the match.
  FRRAchieved (output/optional)   A pointer to an FRR value indicating
                                  the closeness of the match.
  Payload (output/optional)       If the StoredTemplate contains a
                                  payload, it is returned in an
                                  allocated CSSM_DATA structure if the
                                  FARAchieved satisfies the policy of
                                  the service provider.

DESCRIPTION
  This function performs a verification (1-to-1) match between two
  BIRs - the ProcessedBIR and the StoredTemplate. The ProcessedBIR
  is the "processed" BIR constructed specifically for this
  verification. The StoredTemplate was created at enrollment. The
  application must request a maximum FAR value for a successful
  match, and may also (optionally) request a maximum FRR for a
  successful match. If a maximum FRR value is provided, the
  application must also indicate (via the FARPrecedence parameter)
  which one takes precedence. The Boolean Result indicates whether
  verification was successful or not, and the FARAchieved is a FAR
  value indicating how closely the BIRs actually matched.

  The service provider may optionally return the corresponding FRR
  that was achieved, through the FRRAchieved return parameter.

  By setting the AdaptedBIR pointer to non-NULL, the application
  can request that a BIR be constructed by adapting the
  StoredTemplate using the ProcessedBIR. A new handle is
  returned to the AdaptedBIR. If the StoredTemplate contains a
  Payload, the Payload may be returned upon successful
  verification if the FARAchieved is sufficiently stringent.
  This is controlled by the policy of the service provider.

  If the match is successful, an attempt may be made to adapt
  the StoredTemplate with information taken from the ProcessedBIR.
  (Not all service providers perform adaptation.) The resulting
  AdaptedBIR should now be considered an optimal enrollment
  template, and be saved in the enrollment database. It is up to
  the application whether or not it uses or discards this data.
  It is important to note that adaptation may not occur in all cases.

  In the event of an adaptation, this function stores the handle to
  the new BIR in the memory pointed to by the AdaptedBIR parameter.

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.
