This structure appears as a certificate extension and indicates how to access certification authority (CA) information and services for the issuer of that certificate. Information and services can include online validation services and CA policy data. This extension can be included in subject or CA certificates. It is always noncritical.

The CryptDecodeObject function creates an instance of this structure when performed on a CERT_EXTENSION structure's Value member with the structure's pszObjId member set to szOID_AUTHORITY_INFO_ACCESS.

An instance of this structure can be used as input to the CryptEncodeObject function to create an appropriate CERT_EXTENSION structure.

Syntax

typedef struct _CERT_AUTHORITY_INFO_ACCESS {
  DWORD cAccDescr;
  PCERT_ACCESS_DESCRIPTION rgAccDescr;
