ICertAdmin::ResubmitRequest method (certadm.h)

Article
02/22/2024

The ResubmitRequest method submits the specified certificate request to the policy module for the specified certification authority. This method was first introduced in the ICertAdmin interface.

For this method to succeed, the certificate request must be pending.

Syntax

HRESULT ResubmitRequest(
  [in]          const BSTR strConfig,
  [in]          LONG       RequestId,
  [out, retval] LONG       *pDisposition
);

Parameters

[in] strConfig

Represents a valid configuration string for the certification authority (CA) in the form COMPUTERNAME\CANAME, where COMPUTERNAME is the network name of the Certificate Services server and CANAME is the common name of the certification authority, as entered during Certificate Services setup. For information about the configuration string name, see ICertConfig.

Important ResubmitRequest does not clear the internal cache when the configuration string is changed. When you change the configuration string for the CA, you must instantiate a new ICertAdmin object and call this method again with the new configuration string.

[in] RequestId

Specifies the ID of the request to resubmit.

[out, retval] pDisposition

A pointer to the disposition of the request.

Return value

C++

If the method succeeds and the pDisposition parameter is set to one of the following values that specify the disposition of the request, the method returns S_OK.

If the method fails, it returns an HRESULT value that indicates the error. For a list of common error codes, see Common HRESULT Values.

VB

The return value specifies the disposition of the request. This value is one of the following values.

Return code	Description
CR_DISP_INCOMPLETE	The request was not completed.
CR_DISP_ERROR	The request failed.
CR_DISP_DENIED	The request was denied.
CR_DISP_ISSUED	The certificate was issued.
CR_DISP_ISSUED_OUT_OF_BAND	The certificate was issued separately.
CR_DISP_UNDER_SUBMISSION	The request was taken under submission.

Remarks

Administration tasks use DCOM. Code that calls this interface method as defined in an earlier version of Certadm.h will run on Windows-based servers as long as the client and the server are both running the same Windows operating system.

Examples

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <Certadm.h>


    long nDisp;  // disposition value
    long nReqID = <REQUESTIDHERE>;
    BSTR bstrCA = NULL;

    bstrCA = SysAllocString(L"<COMPUTERNAMEHERE>\\<CANAMEHERE>");
    if (NULL == bstrCA)
    {
        printf("Memory allocation failed\n");
        goto error;
    }

    //  pCertAdmin is a previously instantiated ICertAdmin object.
    hr = pCertAdmin->ResubmitRequest(bstrCA, nReqID, &nDisp);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    {
        printf("Failed ResubmitRequest [%x]\n", hr);
        goto error;
    }
    else
        printf("ResubmitRequest disposition is %d\n", nDisp);

error:
    //  Free resources.
    if (bstrCA)
        SysFreeString(bstrCA);
