DESCRIPTION
A client application may request that a server send back an OCSP status
response (also known as OCSP stapling). To do so the client should call
the SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_type() function prior to the creation of
any SSL objects. Alternatively an application can call the
SSL_set_tlsext_status_type() function on an individual SSL object prior
to the start of the handshake. Currently the only supported type is
TLSEXT_STATUSTYPE_ocsp. This value should be passed in the type
argument. Calling SSL_CTX_get_tlsext_status_type() will return the type
TLSEXT_STATUSTYPE_ocsp previously set via
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_type() or -1 if not set.
The client should additionally provide a callback function to decide
what to do with the returned OCSP response by calling
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb(). The callback function should determine
whether the returned OCSP response is acceptable or not. The callback
will be passed as an argument the value previously set via a call to
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_arg(). Note that the callback will not be
called in the event of a handshake where session resumption occurs
(because there are no Certificates exchanged in such a handshake). The
callback previously set via SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb() can be
retrieved by calling SSL_CTX_get_tlsext_status_cb(), and the argument
by calling SSL_CTX_get_tlsext_status_arg().
On the client side SSL_get_tlsext_status_type() can be used to
determine whether the client has previously called
SSL_set_tlsext_status_type(). It will return TLSEXT_STATUSTYPE_ocsp if
it has been called or -1 otherwise. On the server side
SSL_get_tlsext_status_type() can be used to determine whether the
client requested OCSP stapling. If the client requested it then this
function will return TLSEXT_STATUSTYPE_ocsp, or -1 otherwise.
The response returned by the server can be obtained via a call to
SSL_get_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp(). The value *resp will be updated to
point to the OCSP response data and the return value will be the length
of that data. Typically a callback would obtain an OCSP_RESPONSE
object from this data via a call to the d2i_OCSP_RESPONSE() function.
If the server has not provided any response data then *resp will be
NULL and the return value from SSL_get_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp() will
be -1.
A server application must also call the SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb()
function if it wants to be able to provide clients with OCSP
Certificate Status responses. Typically the server callback would
obtain the server certificate that is being sent back to the client via
a call to SSL_get_certificate(); obtain the OCSP response to be sent
back; and then set that response data by calling
SSL_set_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp(). A pointer to the response data
should be provided in the resp argument, and the length of that data
should be in the len argument.
RETURN VALUES
The callback when used on the client side should return a negative
value on error; 0 if the response is not acceptable (in which case the
handshake will fail) or a positive value if it is acceptable.
The callback when used on the server side should return with either
SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK (meaning that the OCSP response that has been set
should be returned), SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK (meaning that an OCSP
response should not be returned) or SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL (meaning
that a fatal error has occurred).
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb(), SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_arg(),
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_type(), SSL_set_tlsext_status_type() and
SSL_set_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp() return 0 on error or 1 on success.
SSL_CTX_get_tlsext_status_type() returns the value previously set by
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_type(), or -1 if not set.
SSL_get_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp() returns the length of the OCSP
response data or -1 if there is no OCSP response data.
SSL_get_tlsext_status_type() returns TLSEXT_STATUSTYPE_ocsp on the
client side if SSL_set_tlsext_status_type() was previously called, or
on the server side if the client requested OCSP stapling. Otherwise -1
is returned.
