SSL_LOAD_CLIENT_CA_FILE(3ossl) OpenSSL SSL_LOAD_CLIENT_CA_FILE(3ossl)
NAME
SSL_load_client_CA_file_ex, SSL_load_client_CA_file,
SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack,
SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack,
SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack - load certificate names
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *SSL_load_client_CA_file_ex(const char *file,
OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx,
const char *propq);
STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *SSL_load_client_CA_file(const char *file);
int SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *stack,
const char *file);
int SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack(STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *stack,
const char *dir);
int SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack(STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *stack,
const char *store);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_load_client_CA_file_ex() reads certificates from file and returns a
STACK_OF(X509_NAME) with the subject names found. The library context
libctx and property query propq are used when fetching algorithms from
providers.
SSL_load_client_CA_file() is similar to SSL_load_client_CA_file_ex()
but uses NULL for the library context libctx and property query propq.
SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack() reads certificates from file, and
adds their subject name to the already existing stack.
SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() reads certificates from every file
in the directory dir, and adds their subject name to the already
existing stack.
SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack() loads certificates from the
store URI, and adds their subject name to the already existing stack.
NOTES
SSL_load_client_CA_file() reads a file of PEM formatted certificates
and extracts the X509_NAMES of the certificates found. While the name
suggests the specific usage as support function for
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(3), it is not limited to CA certificates.
RETURN VALUES
The following return values can occur:
NULL
The operation failed, check out the error stack for the reason.
Pointer to STACK_OF(X509_NAME)
Pointer to the subject names of the successfully read certificates.
EXAMPLES
if (cert_names != NULL)
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(ctx, cert_names);
else
/* error */

HISTORY
SSL_load_client_CA_file_ex() and SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
