CERT_ALT_NAME_ENTRY (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This structure contains an alternative name in one of a variety of name forms. The certification authority (CA) binds these names to the certificate's public key.

A CERT_ALT_NAME_ENTRY structure can be a member of a CERT_ALT_NAME_INFO structure.

Syntax

typedef struct _CERT_ALT_NAME_ENTRY {
  DWORD dwAltNameChoice;
  union {
    PCERT_OTHER_NAME pOtherName;
    LPWSTR pwszRfc822Name;
    LPWSTR pwszDNSName;
    CERT_NAME_BLOB DirectoryName;
    LPWSTR pwszURL;
    CRYPT_DATA_BLOB IPAddress;
    LPSTR pszRegisteredID;
  }; 
} CERT_ALT_NAME_ENTRY, *PCERT_ALT_NAME_ENTRY;
