CSecureChannelServer::SetCertificate

The SetCertificate method specifies the certificate and private key of the secure authenticated channel (SAC) server. Information about where to get this certificate is given in Tools for Development.

Syntax

HRESULT SetCertificate(DWORDdwFlags,BYTE*pbAppCert,DWORDdwCertLen,BYTE*pbAppPVK,DWORDdwPVKLen);

Parameters

dwFlags

[in]  Specifies the type of certificate being passed to this method. Must be set to SAC_CERT_V1.

pbAppCert

[in]  Pointer to the first byte of the certificate of the SAC client.

dwCertLen

[in]  DWORD specifying the length of the certificate to which pbAppCert points.

pbAppPVK

[in]  Pointer to the first byte of the private key of the SAC client.

dwPVKLen

[in]  DWORD specifying the length of the private key to which pbAppPVK points.

Return Values

The method returns an HRESULT. All the interface methods in Windows Media Device Manager can return any of the following classes of error codes:

• Standard COM error codes
• Windows error codes converted to HRESULT values
• Windows Media Device Manager error codes

For an extenstive list of possible error codes, see Error Codes.

Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Remarks

This method sends the component's authentication certificate to CSecureChannelClient. SetCertificate should be called immediately after creating the CSecureChannelServer object. If pbAppCert and/or pbAppPVK are NULL (or both zero) a default certificate and private key pair is used which will allow for basic functionality.

Example Code

The following code demonstrates creating a CSecureChannelServer object and setting its certificate. In this code, the variables pbAppCert and pbAppPVK are a matching certificate/key pair.

extern CSecureChannelServer *g_pSCWMDM;
g_pSCWMDM = new CSecureChannelServer();

// Select the certificate and the associated private key into the SAC.
if (g_pSCWMDM)
{
    g_pSCWMDM->SetCertificate( SAC_CERT_V1, 
                               (BYTE*)g_abAppCert,
                               sizeof(g_abAppCert), 
                               (BYTE*)g_abPriv,
                               sizeof(g_abPriv) );
}
