PKCS12_newpass(3)                   OpenSSL                  PKCS12_newpass(3)




NAME
PKCS12_newpass - change the password of a PKCS12 structure
LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/pkcs12.h> int PKCS12_newpass(PKCS12 *p12, const char *oldpass, const char *newpass);
DESCRIPTION
PKCS12_newpass() changes the password of a PKCS12 structure. p12 is a pointer to a PKCS12 structure. oldpass is the existing password and newpass is the new password.
NOTES
Each of oldpass and newpass is independently interpreted as a string in the UTF-8 encoding. If it is not valid UTF-8, it is assumed to be ISO8859-1 instead. In particular, this means that passwords in the locale character set (or code page on Windows) must potentially be converted to UTF-8 before use. This may include passwords from local text files, or input from the terminal or command line. Refer to the documentation of UI_OpenSSL(3), for example.
RETURN VALUES
PKCS12_newpass() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure. Applications can retrieve the most recent error from PKCS12_newpass() with ERR_get_error().
EXAMPLE
This example loads a PKCS#12 file, changes its password and writes out the result to a new file. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <openssl/pem.h> #include <openssl/err.h> #include <openssl/pkcs12.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { FILE *fp; PKCS12 *p12; if (argc != 5) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: pkread p12file password newpass opfile\n"); return 1; } if ((fp = fopen(argv[1], "rb")) == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Error opening file %s\n", argv[1]); return 1; } p12 = d2i_PKCS12_fp(fp, NULL); fclose(fp); if (p12 == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Error reading PKCS#12 file\n"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); return 1; } if (PKCS12_newpass(p12, argv[2], argv[3]) == 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error changing password\n"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); PKCS12_free(p12); return 1; } if ((fp = fopen(argv[4], "wb")) == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Error opening file %s\n", argv[4]); PKCS12_free(p12); return 1; } i2d_PKCS12_fp(fp, p12); PKCS12_free(p12); fclose(fp); return 0; }
NOTES
If the PKCS#12 structure does not have a password, then you must use the empty string "" for oldpass. Using NULL for oldpass will result in a PKCS12_newpass() failure. If the wrong password is used for oldpass then the function will fail, with a MAC verification error. In rare cases the PKCS12 structure does not contain a MAC: in this case it will usually fail with a decryption padding error.
BUGS
The password format is a NULL terminated ASCII string which is converted to Unicode form internally. As a result some passwords cannot be supplied to this function.
