NAME

6       PKCS12_parse - parse a PKCS#12 structure
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/pkcs12.h>
10
11       int PKCS12_parse(PKCS12 *p12, const char *pass, EVP_PKEY **pkey, X509
12       **cert, STACK_OF(X509) **ca);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       PKCS12_parse() parses a PKCS12 structure.
16
17       p12 is the PKCS12 structure to parse. pass is the passphrase to use.
18       If successful the private key will be written to *pkey, the
19       corresponding certificate to *cert and any additional certificates to
20       *ca.
21

NOTES

23       The parameters pkey and cert cannot be NULL. ca can be <NULL> in which
24       case additional certificates will be discarded. *ca can also be a valid
25       STACK in which case additional certificates are appended to *ca. If *ca
26       is NULL a new STACK will be allocated.
27
28       The friendlyName and localKeyID attributes (if present) on each
29       certificate will be stored in the alias and keyid attributes of the
30       X509 structure.
31

RETURN VALUES

33       PKCS12_parse() returns 1 for success and zero if an error occurred.
34
35       The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)
36

BUGS

38       Only a single private key and corresponding certificate is returned by
39       this function. More complex PKCS#12 files with multiple private keys
40       will only return the first match.
41
42       Only friendlyName and localKeyID attributes are currently stored in
43       certificates. Other attributes are discarded.
44
45       Attributes currently cannot be stored in the private key EVP_PKEY
46       structure.
