CertFindExtension

This function finds the first extension in the CERT_EXTENSION array, as identified by its object identifier (OID). This function can be used in the processing of a decoded certificate. A CERT_INFO structure is derived from a decoded certificate. The rgExtension array is retrieved from that structure and passed to this function in the rgExtension parameter. This function determines whether a particular extension is in the array, and if so, returns a pointer to it.

PCERT_EXTENSION WINAPI CertFindExtension(
  LPCSTR pszObjId,
  DWORD cExtensions,
  CERT_EXTENSION rgExtensions[ ]
);

Parameters

  • pszObjId
    [in] Pointer to the OID to use in the search.
  • cExtensions
    [in] Number of extensions in the rgExtensions array.
  • rgExtensions
    [in] Array of CERT_EXTENSION structures.

Return Values

This function returns a pointer to the extension, if one is found. Otherwise, NULL is returned.
