NAME

  CSSM_TP_FormRequest - Get form from authority (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cssm.h>

   API:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_TP_FormRequest
       (CSSM_TP_HANDLE TPHandle,
       const CSSM_TP_AUTHORITY_ID *PreferredAuthority,
       CSSM_TP_FORM_TYPE FormType,
       CSSM_DATA_PTR BlankForm)
   SPI:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMTPI TP_FormRequest
       (CSSM_TP_HANDLE TPHandle,
       const CSSM_TP_AUTHORITY_ID *PreferredAuthority,
       CSSM_TP_FORM_TYPE FormType,
       CSSM_DATA_PTR BlankForm)

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

PARAMETERS
  TPHandle (input)
          The handle that describes the certification authority module
          used to perform this function.

  PreferredAuthority (input/optional)
          A CSSM_TP_AUTHORITY_ID structure containing either a
          certificate that identifies the Authority process, or a
          network address directly or indirectly identifying the
          location of the authority.  If the input is NULL, the
          module can assume a default authority location. If a
          default authority can not be assumed, the request can not
          be initiated and the operation fails.

  FormType (input)
          Indicates the type of form being requested.

  BlankForm (output)
          A CSSM_DATA structure containing the requested form. The
          caller must have knowledge of the structure of the form
          based on FormType.

DESCRIPTION
  This function returns a blank form of type FormType from an
  Authority.  If the PreferredAuthority list is NULL, the CA module
  can use a default authority name and location based on FormType.
  The CA module must incorporate knowledge of the interface protocol
  for communicating with the authority.
