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 correspond‐
19       ing certificate to *cert and any additional certificates to *ca.
20

NOTES

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

BUGS

32       Only a single private key and corresponding certificate is returned by
33       this function.  More complex PKCS#12 files with multiple private keys
34       will only return the first match.
35
36       Only friendlyName and localKeyID attributes are currently stored in
37       certificates.  Other attributes are discarded.
38
39       Attributes currently cannot be store in the private key EVP_PKEY struc‐
40       ture.
