SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(3) OpenSSL SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(3)NAME
SSL_CTX_set_cert_store, SSL_CTX_get_cert_store -
manipulate X509 certificate verification storage
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(SSL_CTX *ctx, X509_STORE *store);
X509_STORE *SSL_CTX_get_cert_store(SSL_CTX *ctx);
DESCRIPTIONSSL_CTX_set_cert_store() sets/replaces the certificate
verification storage of ctx to/with store. If another
X509_STORE object is currently set in ctx, it will be
X509_STORE_free()ed.
SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() returns a pointer to the current
certificate verification storage.
NOTES
In order to verify the certificates presented by the peer,
trusted CA certificates must be accessed. These CA
certificates are made available via lookup methods,
handled inside the X509_STORE. From the X509_STORE the
X509_STORE_CTX used when verifying certificates is
created.
Typically the trusted certificate store is handled
indirectly via using SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3).
Using the SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() and
SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() functions it is possible to
manipulate the X509_STORE object beyond the
SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) call.
Currently no detailed documentation on how to use the
X509_STORE object is available. Not all members of the
X509_STORE are used when the verification takes place. So
will e.g. the verify_callback() be overridden with the
verify_callback() set via the SSL_CTX_set_verify(3) family
of functions. This document must therefore be updated
when documentation about the X509_STORE object and its
handling becomes available.
RETURN VALUESSSL_CTX_set_cert_store() does not return diagnostic
output.
SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() returns the current setting.
