This function finds the first extension in the CERT_EXTENSIONarray, as identified by its object identifier (OID). This function can be used in the processing of a decoded certificate. A CERT_INFOstructure is derived from a decoded certificate. The rgExtensionarray is retrieved from that structure and passed to this function in the rgExtensionparameter. This function determines whether a particular extension is in the array, and if so, returns a pointer to it.
