NAME

6       X509V3_set_ctx, X509V3_set_issuer_pkey - X.509 v3 extension generation

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <openssl/x509v3.h>
11
12        void X509V3_set_ctx(X509V3_CTX *ctx, X509 *issuer, X509 *subject,
13                            X509_REQ *req, X509_CRL *crl, int flags);
14        int X509V3_set_issuer_pkey(X509V3_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *pkey);

DESCRIPTION

17       X509V3_set_ctx() fills in the basic fields of ctx of type X509V3_CTX,
18       providing details potentially needed by functions producing X509 v3
19       extensions, e.g., to look up values for filling in authority key
20       identifiers.  Any of subject, req, or crl may be provided, pointing to
21       a certificate, certification request, or certificate revocation list,
22       respectively.  When constructing the subject key identifier of a
23       certificate by computing a hash value of its public key, the public key
24       is taken from subject or req.  Similarly, when constructing subject
25       alternative names from any email addresses contained in a subject DN,
26       the subject DN is taken from subject or req.  If subject or crl is
27       provided, issuer should point to its issuer, for instance to help
28       generating an authority key identifier extension.  Note that if subject
29       is provided, issuer may be the same as subject, which means that
30       subject is self-issued (or even self-signed).  flags may be 0 or
31       contain X509V3_CTX_TEST, which means that just the syntax of extension
32       definitions is to be checked without actually producing an extension,
33       or X509V3_CTX_REPLACE, which means that each X.509v3 extension added as
34       defined in some configuration section shall replace any already
35       existing extension with the same OID.
36
37       X509V3_set_issuer_pkey() explicitly sets the issuer private key of the
38       certificate that has been provided in ctx.  This should be done for
39       self-issued certificates (which may be self-signed or not) to provide
40       fallback data for the authority key identifier extension.

RETURN VALUES

43       X509V3_set_ctx() and X509V3_set_issuer_pkey() return 1 on success and 0
44       on error.

HISTORY

50       X509V3_set_issuer_pkey() was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
51
52       CTX_TEST was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0; use X509V3_CTX_TEST instead.
