=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
SSL_load_client_CA_file - load certificate names from file
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
|
|
|
|
STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *SSL_load_client_CA_file(const char *file);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SSL_load_client_CA_file() reads certificates from B<file> and returns
|
|
a STACK_OF(X509_NAME) with the subject names found.
|
|
|
|
=head1 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
|
|
L<SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(3)|SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(3)>,
|
|
it is not limited to CA certificates.
|
|
|
|
=head1 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_handling();
|
