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. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ssl(3)|ssl(3)>, +L<SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)|SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)>, +L<SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)|SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)> + +=cut diff --git a/doc/ssl/ssl.pod b/doc/ssl/ssl.pod index cb4260ee80..e88256a8d7 100644 --- a/doc/ssl/ssl.pod +++ b/doc/ssl/ssl.pod @@ -662,6 +662,7 @@ L<SSL_CTX_sess_number(3)|SSL_CTX_sess_number(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size(3)|SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb(3)|SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_sessions(3)|SSL_CTX_sessions(3)>, +L<SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(3)|SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(3)|SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(3)|SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb(3)|SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb(3)>, |
