SSL_load_client_CA_file(3) OpenSSL SSL_load_client_CA_file(3) NAME SSL_load_client_CA_file, SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack, SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack - load certificate names LIBRARY libcrypto, -lcrypto SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/ssl.h> 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) DESCRIPTION SSL_load_client_CA_file() reads certificates from file and returns a STACK_OF(X509_NAME) with the subject names found. 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. 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 Load names of CAs from file and use it as a client CA list: SSL_CTX *ctx; STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *cert_names; ... cert_names = SSL_load_client_CA_file("/path/to/CAfile.pem"); if (cert_names != NULL) SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(ctx, cert_names); else /* error */ ...
