41 SSL_CTX_set0_chain() and SSL_CTX_set1_chain() set the certificate chain
42 associated with the current certificate of ctx to sk.
43 SSL_CTX_add0_chain_cert() and SSL_CTX_add1_chain_cert() append the
45 single certificate x509 to the chain associated with the current
46 certificate of ctx.
47 SSL_CTX_get0_chain_certs() retrieves the chain associated with the
49 current certificate of ctx.
50 SSL_CTX_clear_chain_certs() clears any existing chain associated with
52 the current certificate of ctx. (This is implemented by calling
53 SSL_CTX_set0_chain() with sk set to NULL).
54 SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() builds the certificate chain for ctx
56 normally this uses the chain store or the verify store if the chain
57 store is not set. If the function is successful the built chain will
58 replace any existing chain. The flags parameter can be set to
59 SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_UNTRUSTED to use existing chain certificates as
60 untrusted CAs, SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_NO_ROOT to omit the root CA from
61 the built chain, SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CHECK to use all existing chain
62 certificates only to build the chain (effectively sanity checking and
63 rearranging them if necessary), the flag
64 SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERROR ignores any errors during
65 verification: if flag SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CLEAR_ERROR is also set
66 verification errors are cleared from the error queue.
67 Each of these functions operates on the current end entity (i.e. server
69 or client) certificate. This is the last certificate loaded or selected
70 on the corresponding ctx structure.
71 SSL_CTX_select_current_cert() selects x509 as the current end entity
73 certificate, but only if x509 has already been loaded into ctx using a
74 function such as SSL_CTX_use_certificate().
75 SSL_set0_chain(), SSL_set1_chain(), SSL_add0_chain_cert(),
77 SSL_add1_chain_cert(), SSL_get0_chain_certs(), SSL_clear_chain_certs(),
78 SSL_build_cert_chain(), SSL_select_current_cert() and
79 SSL_set_current_cert() are similar except they apply to SSL structure
80 ssl.
81 SSL_CTX_set_current_cert() changes the current certificate to a value
83 based on the op argument. Currently op can be SSL_CERT_SET_FIRST to use
84 the first valid certificate or SSL_CERT_SET_NEXT to set the next valid
85 certificate after the current certificate. These two operations can be
86 used to iterate over all certificates in an SSL_CTX structure.
87 SSL_set_current_cert() also supports the option SSL_CERT_SET_SERVER.
89 If ssl is a server and has sent a certificate to a connected client
90 this option sets that certificate to the current certificate and
91 returns 1. If the negotiated cipher suite is anonymous (and thus no
92 certificate will be sent) 2 is returned and the current certificate is
93 unchanged. If ssl is not a server or a certificate has not been sent 0
94 is returned and the current certificate is unchanged.
95 All these functions are implemented as macros. Those containing a 1
97 increment the reference count of the supplied certificate or chain so
98 it must be freed at some point after the operation. Those containing a
99 0 do not increment reference counts and the supplied certificate or
100 chain MUST NOT be freed after the operation.
101
103 The chains associate with an SSL_CTX structure are copied to any SSL
104 structures when SSL_new() is called. SSL structures will not be
105 affected by any chains subsequently changed in the parent SSL_CTX.
106 One chain can be set for each key type supported by a server. So, for
108 example, an RSA and a DSA certificate can (and often will) have
109 different chains.
110 The functions SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() and SSL_build_cert_chain() can
112 be used to check application configuration and to ensure any necessary
113 subordinate CAs are sent in the correct order. Misconfigured
114 applications sending incorrect certificate chains often cause problems
115 with peers.
116 For example an application can add any set of certificates using
118 SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() then call
119 SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() with the option SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CHECK
120 to check and reorder them.
121 Applications can issue non fatal warnings when checking chains by
123 setting the flag SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERRORS and checking the
124 return value.
125 Calling SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() or SSL_build_cert_chain() is more
127 efficient than the automatic chain building as it is only performed
128 once. Automatic chain building is performed on each new session.
129 If any certificates are added using these functions no certificates
131 added using SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() will be used.
132
134 SSL_set_current_cert() with SSL_CERT_SET_SERVER return 1 for success, 2
135 if no server certificate is used because the cipher suites is anonymous
136 and 0 for failure.
137 SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() and SSL_build_cert_chain() return 1 for
139 success and 0 for failure. If the flag
140 SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERROR and a verification error occurs then
141 2 is returned.
142 All other functions return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
