Some additional functionality was added to PKCS12_create() in OpenSSL
|
||||
0.9.8. These extensions are detailed below.
|
||||
|
||||
If a certificate contains an B<alias> or B<keyid> then this will be
|
||||
used for the corresponding B<friendlyName> or B<localKeyID> in the
|
||||
PKCS12 structure.
|
||||
|
||||
Either B<pkey>, B<cert> or both can be B<NULL> to indicate that no key or
|
||||
certficate is required. In previous versions both hasves to be present or
|
||||
a fatal error is returned.

|

|
||||
int X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(X509_NAME *name,int nid,int lastpos);
|
||||
int X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ(X509_NAME *name,ASN1_OBJECT *obj, int lastpos);

int X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID(X509_NAME *name, int nid, char *buf,int len);

int X509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ(X509_NAME *name, ASN1_OBJECT *obj, char *buf,int len);
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
These functions allow an B<X509_NAME> structure to be examined. The
|
||||
B<X509_NAME> structure is the same as the B<Name> type defined in
|
||||
RFC2459 (and elsewhere) and used for example in certificate subject
|
||||
and issuer names.
|
||||
|
||||
X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() and X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ() retrieve
|
||||
the next index matching B<nid> or B<obj> after B<lastpos>. B<lastpos>
|
||||
should initially be set to -1. If there are no more entries -1 is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
X509_NAME_entry_count() returns the total number of entries in B<name>.
|
||||
|
||||
X509_NAME_get_entry() retrieves the B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> from B<name>
|
||||
corresponding to index B<loc>. Acceptable values for B<loc> run from
|
||||
0 to (X509_NAME_entry_count(name) - 1). The value returned is an
|
||||
internal pointer which must not be freed.
|
||||
|
||||
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID(), X509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ() retrieve
|
||||
the "text" from the first entry in B<name> which matches B<nid> or
|
||||
B<obj>, if no such entry exists -1 is returned. At most B<len> bytes
|
||||
will be written and the text written to B<buf> will be null
|
||||
terminated. The length of the output string written is returned
|
||||
excluding the terminating null. If B<buf> is <NULL> then the amount
|
||||
of space needed in B<buf> (excluding the final null) is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 NOTES
|
||||
|
||||
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID() and X509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ() are
|
||||
legacy functions which have various limitations which make them
|
||||
of minimal use in practice. They can only find the first matching
|
||||
entry and will copy the contents of the field verbatim: this can
|
||||
be highly confusing if the target is a muticharacter string type
|
||||
like a BMPString or a UTF8String.
|
||||
|
||||
For a more general solution X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() or
|
||||
X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ() should be used followed by
|
||||
X509_NAME_get_entry() on any matching indices and then the
|
||||
various B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> utility functions on the result.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
||||
|
||||
Process all entries:
|
||||
|
||||
int i;
|
||||
X509_NAME_ENTRY *e;
|
||||
|
||||
for (i = 0; i < X509_NAME_entry_count(nm); i++)
|
||||
{
|
||||
e = X509_NAME_get_entry(nm, i);
|
||||
/* Do something with e */
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Process all commonName entries:
|
||||
|
||||
int loc;
|
||||
X509_NAME_ENTRY *e;
|
||||
|
||||
loc = -1;
|
||||
for (;;)
|
||||
{
|
||||
lastpos = X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(nm, NID_commonName, lastpos);
|
||||
if (lastpos == -1)
|
||||
break;
|
||||
e = X509_NAME_get_entry(nm, lastpos);
|
||||
/* Do something with e */
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||||
|
||||
X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() and X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ()
|
||||
return the index of the next matching entry or -1 if not found.
|
||||
|
||||
X509_NAME_entry_count() returns the total number of entries.
|
||||
|
||||
X509_NAME_get_entry() returns an B<X509_NAME> pointer to the
|
||||
requested entry or B<NULL> if the index is invalid.
