SSL_load_client_CA_file - load certificate names from file
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *SSL_load_client_CA_file(const char *file);
SSL_load_client_CA_file()
reads certificates from file and returns
a STACK_OF(X509_NAME) with the subject names found.
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.
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(); ...
The following return values can occur:
The operation failed, check out the error stack for the reason.
Pointer to the subject names of the successfully read certificates.
ssl(3), SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(3)
