NAME

       SSL_CTX_set_cert_store, SSL_CTX_get_cert_store - manipu-
       late X509 certificate verification storage


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


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);



DESCRIPTION

       SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() sets/replaces the certificate
       verification storage of ctx to/with store. If another
       X505_STORE object is currently set in ctx, it will be
       X509_STORE_free()ed.

       SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() returns a pointer to the current
       certificate verification storage.


NOTES

       In order to verify the certificates presented by the peer,
       trusted CA certificates must be accessed. These CA cer-
       tificates are made available via lookup methods, handled
       inside the X509_STORE. From the X509_STORE the
       X509_STORE_CTX used when verifying certificates is cre-
       ated.

       Typically the trusted certificate store is handled indi-
       rectly via using 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 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 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.


RETURN VALUES

       SSL_CTX_set_cert_store() does not return diagnostic out-
       put.

       SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() returns the current setting.
