CertRegisterPhysicalStore function (wincrypt.h)
The CertRegisterPhysicalStore function adds a physical store to a registry system store collection.
Syntax
BOOL CertRegisterPhysicalStore(
[in] const void *pvSystemStore,
[in] DWORD dwFlags,
[in] LPCWSTR pwszStoreName,
[in] PCERT_PHYSICAL_STORE_INFO pStoreInfo,
[in] void *pvReserved
);
Parameters
[in] pvSystemStore
The system store collection to which the physical store is added. This parameter points either to a null-terminated Unicode string or to a CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA structure. For information about using the structure and on adding a ServiceName or ComputerName before the system store name string, see CertRegisterSystemStore.
[in] dwFlags
The high word of the dwFlags parameter specifies the location of the system store. For information about defined high-word flags and appending ServiceName, UserNames, and ComputerNames to the end of the system store name, see CertRegisterSystemStore.
The following low-word flags are also defined and can be combined with high-word flags using a bitwise-OR operation.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
The system store is not in its default registry location and the pvSystemStore parameter must be a pointer to a CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA structure. |
|
The function fails if the physical store already exists in the store location. |
[in] pwszStoreName
A pointer to a Unicode string that names the physical store to be added to the system store collection. To remove a physical store from the system store collection, call the CertUnregisterPhysicalStore function.
[in] pStoreInfo
A pointer to a CERT_PHYSICAL_STORE_INFO structure that provides basic information about the physical store.
[in] pvReserved
Reserved for future use and must be set to NULL.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the function returns nonzero.
If the function fails, it returns zero.
