47 The X509_LOOKUP structure holds the information needed to look up
48 certificates and CRLs according to an associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3).
49 Multiple X509_LOOKUP instances can be added to an X509_STORE(3) to
50 enable lookup in that store.
51
52 X509_LOOKUP_new() creates a new X509_LOOKUP using the given lookup
53 method. It can also be created by calling X509_STORE_add_lookup(3),
54 which will associate an X509_STORE with the lookup mechanism.
55
56 X509_LOOKUP_init() initializes the internal state and resources as
57 needed by the given X509_LOOKUP to do its work.
58
59 X509_LOOKUP_shutdown() tears down the internal state and resources of
60 the given X509_LOOKUP.
61
62 X509_LOOKUP_free() destructs the given X509_LOOKUP.
63
64 X509_LOOKUP_set_method_data() associates a pointer to application data
65 to the given X509_LOOKUP.
66
67 X509_LOOKUP_get_method_data() retrieves a pointer to application data
68 from the given X509_LOOKUP.
69
70 X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() is used to set or get additional data to or from an
71 X509_LOOKUP structure or its associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3). The
72 arguments of the control command are passed via argc and argl, its
73 return value via *ret. The meaning of the arguments depends on the cmd
74 number of the control command. In general, this function is not called
75 directly, but wrapped by a macro call, see below. The control cmds
76 known to OpenSSL are discussed in more depth in "Control Commands".
77
78 X509_LOOKUP_load_file() passes a filename to be loaded immediately into
79 the associated X509_STORE. type indicates what type of object is
80 expected. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation
81 X509_LOOKUP_file(3).
82
83 X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() passes a directory specification from which
84 certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated
85 X509_STORE. type indicates what type of object is expected. This can
86 only be used with a lookup using the implementation
87 X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir(3).
88
89 X509_LOOKUP_load_file(), X509_LOOKUP_add_dir(),
90 X509_LOOKUP_add_store(), and X509_LOOKUP_load_store() are implemented
91 as macros that use X509_LOOKUP_ctrl().
92
93 X509_LOOKUP_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial(),
94 X509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint(), and X509_LOOKUP_by_alias() look up
95 certificates and CRLs in the X509_STORE(3) associated with the
96 X509_LOOKUP using different criteria, where the looked up object is
97 stored in ret. Some of the underlying X509_LOOKUP_METHODs will also
98 cache objects matching the criteria in the associated X509_STORE, which
99 makes it possible to handle cases where the criteria have more than one
100 hit.
101
102 File Types
103 X509_LOOKUP_load_file() and X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() take a type, which
104 can be one of the following:
105
106 X509_FILETYPE_PEM
107 The file or files that are loaded are expected to be in PEM format.
108
109 X509_FILETYPE_ASN1
110 The file or files that are loaded are expected to be in raw DER
111 format.
112
113 X509_FILETYPE_DEFAULT
114 The default certificate file or directory is used. In this case,
115 name is ignored.
116
117 Control Commands
118 The X509_LOOKUP_METHODs built into OpenSSL recognise the following
119 X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() cmds:
120
121 X509_L_FILE_LOAD
122 This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_file() uses. The
123 filename is passed in argc, and the type in argl.
124
125 X509_L_ADD_DIR
126 This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() uses. The directory
127 specification is passed in argc, and the type in argl.
128
129 X509_L_ADD_STORE
130 This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_store() uses. The URI is
131 passed in argc.
132
133 X509_L_LOAD_STORE
134 This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_store() uses. The URI is
135 passed in argc.
136
138 X509_LOOKUP_new() returns an X509_LOOKUP pointer when successful, or
139 NULL on error.
140
141 X509_LOOKUP_init() and X509_LOOKUP_shutdown() return 1 on success, or 0
142 on error.
143
144 X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() returns -1 if the X509_LOOKUP doesn't have an
145 associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD, or 1 if the doesn't have a control
146 function. Otherwise, it returns what the control function in the
147 X509_LOOKUP_METHOD returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in
148 error.
149
150 X509_LOOKUP_get_store() returns an X509_STORE pointer if there is one,
151 otherwise NULL.
152
153 X509_LOOKUP_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial(),
154 X509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint(), and X509_LOOKUP_by_alias() all return 0
155 if there is no X509_LOOKUP_METHOD or that method doesn't implement the
156 corresponding function. Otherwise, it returns what the corresponding
157 function in the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD returns, which is usually 1 on
158 success and 0 in error.
