TYPED_STRING Reference

Holds a typed string.

It can be used as either a standard attribute or an extension attribute in an OR_ADDRESS structure (which can be used as the alternate name in an ALTERNATE_NAME structure).

In the standard attributes structure, STANDARD_ATTRIBUTES, three fields are represented by this structure: countryName, administrationDomainName, and privateDomainName. It is also necessary to set the corresponding flag in validFields. See STANDARD_ATTRIBUTES for more information.
In the extension attribute structure, EXTENSION_ATTRIBUTE, two fields are represented by a TYPED_STRING structure. If either EA_POSTAL_CODE or EA_PHYSICAL_DELIVERY_COUNTRY_NAME is set as the extension attribute type, complete a TYPED_STRING structure to specify the extension attribute value.

#include <certext.h>

typedef struct TYPED_STRING {

  unsigned int  type;

  ITEM          value;
} TYPED_STRING;
