README.TXT

The source code in this directory can be used to build a sample Exit Module 
for the Microsoft Certificate Server.  It is meant to run on Windows NT 4.0 
with SP3 or later or on Windows NT 5.0 only.  The Certificate Server must 
already be installed. 
 
The Certificate Server calls the Exit Module through the ICertExit interface, 
and the Exit Module can call back to the Certificate Server through the 
ICertServerExit interface. 
 
Each time the Certificate Server issues a certificate, it passes control to 
the CCertExit::Notify method in exit.cpp, specifying that a certificate 
has been issued.  The passed Context parameter is used with the ICertServerExit 
interface to retrieve properties from the newly issued certificate. 
 
Once the certexit.dll DLL is built, its COM interface must be registered 
via the following command: 
    regsvr32 certexit.dll 
and the Certificate Server service must be stopped and restarted to load 
the newly registered Exit Module.  Use the Control Panel's Services applet, 
and stop and restart the "Certificate Authority" service. 
 
If you wish to see the printf output from the sample Exit Module, register 
the Exit Module and stop the Certificate Server service as above, then start 
the Certificate Server as a console application via the following 
command: 
    certsrv -z
