CMS_sign_add1_signer() adds a signer with certificate B<signcert> and private

The CMS_ContentInfo structure should be obtained from an initial call to
CMS_sign() with the flag B<CMS_PARTIAL> set or in the case or re-signing a

+valid CMS_ContentInfo SignedData structure.
If the B<md> parameter is B<NULL> then the default digest for the public
key algorithm will be used.
