ICertAdmin2 interface (certadm.h)

The ICertAdmin2 interface is one of two interfaces that provide administration functionality for properly authorized clients.

The ICertAdmin2 interface is used to perform the following tasks:

• Authorize or deny a certificate request.
• Revoke an issued certificate.
• Trigger the generation of a certificate revocation list (CRL).
• Get the current CRL for the server.
• Determine whether a certificate is valid.
• Get an archived key.
• Get a certification authority (CA) display name, property, or property flag.
• Publish one or several CRLs.
• Get or set configuration information.
• Determine which roles are set.
• Import a certificate or key.

Certificate Services interfaces support both apartment-threading and free-threading models. For better throughput, free threading is recommended.

Inheritance

The ICertAdmin2 interface inherits from ICertAdmin and IDispatch. ICertAdmin2 also has these types of members:
