CertCompareCertificateName
This function compares two certificate CERT_NAME_BLOB structures to determine whether they are identical. CERT_NAME_BLOB structures are used for the subject and the issuer of certificates.
BOOL WINAPI CertCompareCertificateName(
DWORD dwCertEncodingType,
PCERT_NAME_BLOB pCertName1,
PCERT_NAME_BLOB pCertName2
);
Parameters
- dwCertEncodingType
[in] Specifies the encoding type used. Currently, only X509_ASN_ENCODING is used; however, additional encoding types may be added in the future.
pCertName1
[in] Pointer to a CERT_NAME_BLOB structure for the first name in the comparison.
- pCertName2
[in] Pointer to a CERT_NAME_BLOB structure for the second name in the comparison.
Return Values
If the names are identical and the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero (TRUE).
If the function fails, the return value is zero (FALSE).
Remarks
Windows CE does not support the PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING flag and ignores the flag when it is specified.
