+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_CTX_set_cert_store, SSL_CTX_get_cert_store - manipulate X509 certificate verification storage
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ void SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(SSL_CTX *ctx, X509_STORE *store);
+ X509_STORE *SSL_CTX_get_cert_store(SSL_CTX *ctx);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() sets/replaces the certificate verification storage
+of B<ctx> to/with B<store>. If another X505_STORE object is currently
+set in B<ctx>, it will be X509_STORE_free()ed.
+
+SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() returns a pointer to the current certificate
+verification storage.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+In order to verify the certificates presented by the peer, trusted CA
+certificates must be accessed. These CA certificates are made available
+via lookup methods, handled inside the X509_STORE. From the X509_STORE
+the X509_STORE_CTX used when verifying certificates is created.
+
+Typically the trusted certificate store is handled indirectly via using
+L<SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)|SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)>.
+Using the SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() and SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() functions
+it is possible to manipulate the X509_STORE object beyond the
+L<SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)|SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)>
+call.
+
+Currently no detailed documentation on how to use the X509_STORE
+object is available. Not all members of the X509_STORE are used when
+the verification takes place. So will e.g. the verify_callback() be
+overridden with the verify_callback() set via the
+L<SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)|SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)> family of functions.
+This document must therefore be updated when documentation about the
+X509_STORE object and its handling becomes available.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() does not return diagnostic output.
+
+SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() returns the current setting.
