## Typedef Documentation

### typedef enum globus\_gsi\_cert\_utils\_cert\_type\_e globus\_gsi\_cert\_utils\_cert\_type\_t

Certificate Types.

These certificate types are used to describe some properties of a certificate and to specify what type of proxy should be generated in the proxy core code. There are two non-proxy types of certificates understood by Globus: EEC (End-Entity Certificate) and CA (Certificate Authority Certificates), three proxy formats (GSI 2 'legacy' proxies, GSI 3 'Draft' proxies, and RFC 3820-compliant proxies), and four types of proxy (limited, impersonation 'full', restricted, and independent). The latter two types are not expressible in the GSI 2 format.

In addition to enumerations for the concrete renderings of certificate format and type combined, there are default, formats-without-types and types-without-formats so that application logic which uses the proxy library can request default proxy formats which are compatible with the issuing certificate.
