This directory contains a program that provides an example of how to use some
of the MDS and CSSM services of CDSA, along with the necessary files to build
it on OpenVMS. It consists of one source file (MDS_EXAMPLE.C), and two build
files (BUILD_MDS_EXAMPLE.COM and MDS_EXAMPLE.OPT).
The program follows the descriptions and code fragments from the "Intel
Common Data Security Architecture Application Developer's Guide".
CDSA must be initialized before this program is run. This needs to be done
on a one-time basis, by executing the following command:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$INITIALIZE
The MDS example program can be build by copying the example files into a local
build area, and executing the BUILD_MDS_EXAMPLE command file, as follows:
$ copy SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.CDSA.MDS]*.*
$ SET DEF
$ @BUILD_MDS_EXAMPLE
The resulting MDS_EXAMPLE.EXE file takes no parameters, and can be executed
by:
$ run MDS_EXAMPLE
