SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(3) — Subroutines

NAME

SSL_CTX_set_cert_store − Manipulate X509 certificate verification storage.

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(
        SSL_CTX ∗ctx,
        X509_STORE ∗store ); X509_STORE ∗SSL_CTX_get_cert_store(
        SSL_CTX ∗ctx );

DESCRIPTION

The SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() function sets/replaces the certificate verification storage of ctx to/with store. If another X509_STORE object is currently set in ctx, it will be X509_STORE_free()ed. The SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() function returns a pointer to the current certificate verification storage.

NOTES

In order to verify the certificates presented by the peer, trusted CA certificates must be accessed. These CA certificates are made available via lookup methods, handled inside the X509_STORE.

From the X509_STORE, the X509_STORE_CTX used when verifying certificates is created. Typically the trusted certificate store is handled indirectly via using the SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations()function. Using the SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() and the SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() functions it is possible to manipulate the X509_STORE object beyond the SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() function.

Not all members of the X509_STORE are used when the verification takes place, but no detailed documentation on how to use the X509_STORE object is currently available.

RETURN VALUES

The SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() function does not return diagnostic output.

The SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() function returns the current setting.
