CERT_NAME_VALUE structure (wincrypt.h)

The CERT_NAME_VALUE structure contains a relative distinguished name (RDN) attribute value. It is like the CERT_RDN_ATTR structure, except that it does not include the object identifier member that is a member of CERT_RDN_ATTR. As in CERT_RDN_ATTR, the interpretation of the Value member depends on dwValueType.

Syntax

typedef struct _CERT_NAME_VALUE {
  DWORD               dwValueType;
  CERT_RDN_VALUE_BLOB Value;
} CERT_NAME_VALUE, *PCERT_NAME_VALUE;

Members

dwValueType

Indicates the interpretation of the Value member. For documentation on possible values of dwValueType, see CERT_RDN_ATTR.

Value

CRYPT_INTEGER_BLOB structure that contains the RDN attribute. The cbData member of Value is the length, in bytes, of the pbData member. It is not the number of elements in the pbData string.

For example, a DWORD is 32 bits or 4 bytes long. If the pbData member of Value is a DWORD array, the cbData member of Value would be four times the number of DWORD elements in the array. A short data type is 16 bits or 2 bytes long. If the pbData member is an array of short data types, the cbData member must be two times the length of the array.

The pbData member of Value can be a null-terminated array of 8-bit or 16-bit characters or a fixed-length array of elements. If dwValueType is set to CERT_RDN_ENCODED_BLOB, pbData is encoded.
