X509Certificate_SetSignatureAlgIdentifier

Valid for: CANoe DE • CANoe4SW DE

​
Method Syntax

dword X509Certificate_SetSignature(qword objectHandle, byte[] newValue, dword newValueLength)

​
Description

Setter function for the Signature Algorithm Identifier field of the X.509 Certificate handle. Can also be used to remove the field by calling the function with value 0 (NULL).

​
Parameters

  • objectHandle: (in) Handle with type ‘X509Certificate’. The function will be called in context of this handle.

​
Return Values

  • 1: NoError: Operation was completed successfully.
  • -2: Nullpointer: Error, the return value of the function was “NULL”. The value is not available and the output buffer is unchanged.
  • -3: BufferTooSmall: Error, the output buffer is too small. No value has been written.
  • -4: InvalidHandle: Error, the provided objectHandle is invalid or not suitable for this function.
  • -5: InvalidArgument: Error, one or more arguments are invalid for this function.
  • -6: InvalidArgumentHandle: Error, one or more argument handles are invalid or not suitable for this function.
