 LIBRARY
   Common Security Services Manager library (CDSA$INCSSM300_SHR.EXE)

 PARAMETERS
   TPHandle (input)
           The handle that describes the add-in trust policy module
           used to perform this function.

   CLHandle (input/optional)
           The handle that describes the add-in certificate library
           module used to perform this function.

   CCHandle (input/optional)
           The handle that describes the cryptographic context for
           signing the certificate.  This context also identifies the
           cryptographic service provider to be used to perform the
           signing operation. If this handle is not provided by the
           caller, the trust policy module can assume a default signing
           algorithm and a default CSP. If the trust policy module does
           not assume defaults or the default CSP is not available on
           the local system, an error occurs.

   CertTemplateToBeSigned (input)
           A pointer to a structure containing a certificte template
           to be signed. The CRL type and encoded are included in this
           structure.

   SignerCertGroup (input)
           A group of one or more certificates that partially or fully
           represent the signer for this operation. The first certificate
           in the group is the target certificate representing the signer.
           Use of subsequent certificates is specific to the trust domain.
           For example, in a hierarchical trust model subsequent members
           are intermediate certificates of a certificate chain.

   SignerVerifyContext (input/optional)
           A structure containing credentials, policy information, and
           contextual information to be used in the verification process.
           All of the input values in the context are optional. The
           service provider can define default values or can attempt to
           operate without input for all the other fields of this input
           structure. The operation can fail if a necessary input value
           is omitted and the service module can not define an
           appropriate default value.

   SignerVerifyResult (output/optional)
           A pointer to a structure containing information generated
           during the verification process. The information can include:

           Evidence            (output/optional)
           NumberOfEvidences   (output/optional)

   SignedCert (output)
           A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the signed
           certificate. The SignedCert->Data is allocated by the service
           provider and must be deallocated by the application.

 DESCRIPTION
   The TP module decides whether the signer certificate is trusted to
   sign the CertTemplateToBeSigned. The signer certificate group is
   first authenticated and its applicability to perform this operation
   is determined. Once the trust is established, this operation signs
   the entire certificate. The caller must provide a credential that
   permits the caller to use the private key for this signing operation.
   The credential can be provided in the cryptographic context CCHandle.
   If CCHandle is NULL, the credentials in the SignerVerifyContext
   specify the credential value.

 RETURN VALUE
   A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular
   error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other
   values represent an error condition.

 ERRORS
   Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.  See CDSA.
