=head1 DESCRIPTION
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
These functions load the certificates and private keys into the SSL_CTX
Packit Service 084de1
or SSL object, respectively.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
The SSL_CTX_* class of functions loads the certificates and keys into the
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX object B<ctx>. The information is passed to SSL objects B<ssl>
Packit Service 084de1
created from B<ctx> with L<SSL_new(3)> by copying, so that
Packit Service 084de1
changes applied to B<ctx> do not propagate to already existing SSL objects.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
The SSL_* class of functions only loads certificates and keys into a
Packit Service 084de1
specific SSL object. The specific information is kept, when
Packit Service 084de1
L<SSL_clear(3)> is called for this SSL object.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_certificate() loads the certificate B<x> into B<ctx>,
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_use_certificate() loads B<x> into B<ssl>. The rest of the
Packit Service 084de1
certificates needed to form the complete certificate chain can be
Packit Service 084de1
specified using the
Packit Service 084de1
L<SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3)>
Packit Service 084de1
function.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_ASN1() loads the ASN1 encoded certificate from
Packit Service 084de1
the memory location B<d> (with length B<len>) into B<ctx>,
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_use_certificate_ASN1() loads the ASN1 encoded certificate into B<ssl>.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file() loads the first certificate stored in B<file>
Packit Service 084de1
into B<ctx>. The formatting B<type> of the certificate must be specified
Packit Service 084de1
from the known types SSL_FILETYPE_PEM, SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1.
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_use_certificate_file() loads the certificate from B<file> into B<ssl>.
Packit Service 084de1
See the NOTES section on why SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
Packit Service 084de1
should be preferred.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() loads a certificate chain from
Packit Service 084de1
B<file> into B<ctx>. The certificates must be in PEM format and must
Packit Service 084de1
be sorted starting with the subject's certificate (actual client or server
Packit Service 084de1
certificate), followed by intermediate CA certificates if applicable, and
Packit Service 084de1
ending at the highest level (root) CA. SSL_use_certificate_chain_file() is
Packit Service 084de1
similar except it loads the certificate chain into B<ssl>.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey() adds B<pkey> as private key to B<ctx>.
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey() adds the private key B<rsa> of type RSA
Packit Service 084de1
to B<ctx>. SSL_use_PrivateKey() adds B<pkey> as private key to B<ssl>;
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey() adds B<rsa> as private key of type RSA to B<ssl>.
Packit Service 084de1
If a certificate has already been set and the private does not belong
Packit Service 084de1
to the certificate an error is returned. To change a certificate, private
Packit Service 084de1
key pair the new certificate needs to be set with SSL_use_certificate()
Packit Service 084de1
or SSL_CTX_use_certificate() before setting the private key with
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey() or SSL_use_PrivateKey().
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_cert_and_key() and SSL_use_cert_and_key() assign the X.509
Packit Service 084de1
certificate B<x>, private key B<key>, and certificate B<chain> onto the
Packit Service 084de1
corresponding B<ssl> or B<ctx>. The B<pkey> argument must be the private
Packit Service 084de1
key of the X.509 certificate B<x>. If the B<override> argument is 0, then
Packit Service 084de1
B<x>, B<pkey> and B<chain> are set only if all were not previously set.
Packit Service 084de1
If B<override> is non-0, then the certificate, private key and chain certs
Packit Service 084de1
are always set. If B<pkey> is NULL, then the public key of B<x> is used as
Packit Service 084de1
the private key. This is intended to be used with hardware (via the ENGINE
Packit Service 084de1
interface) that stores the private key securely, such that it cannot be
Packit Service 084de1
accessed by OpenSSL. The reference count of the public key is incremented
Packit Service 084de1
(twice if there is no private key); it is not copied nor duplicated. This
Packit Service 084de1
allows all private key validations checks to succeed without an actual
Packit Service 084de1
private key being assigned via SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey(), etc.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_ASN1() adds the private key of type B<pk>
Packit Service 084de1
stored at memory location B<d> (length B<len>) to B<ctx>.
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_ASN1() adds the private key of type RSA
Packit Service 084de1
stored at memory location B<d> (length B<len>) to B<ctx>.
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_use_PrivateKey_ASN1() and SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey_ASN1() add the private
Packit Service 084de1
key to B<ssl>.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() adds the first private key found in
Packit Service 084de1
B<file> to B<ctx>. The formatting B<type> of the private key must be specified
Packit Service 084de1
from the known types SSL_FILETYPE_PEM, SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1.
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file() adds the first private RSA key found in
Packit Service 084de1
B<file> to B<ctx>. SSL_use_PrivateKey_file() adds the first private key found
Packit Service 084de1
in B<file> to B<ssl>; SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey_file() adds the first private
Packit Service 084de1
RSA key found to B<ssl>.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_check_private_key() checks the consistency of a private key with
Packit Service 084de1
the corresponding certificate loaded into B<ctx>. If more than one
Packit Service 084de1
key/certificate pair (RSA/DSA) is installed, the last item installed will
Packit Service 084de1
be checked. If e.g. the last item was a RSA certificate or key, the RSA
Packit Service 084de1
key/certificate pair will be checked. SSL_check_private_key() performs
Packit Service 084de1
the same check for B<ssl>. If no key/certificate was explicitly added for
Packit Service 084de1
this B<ssl>, the last item added into B<ctx> will be checked.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
=head1 NOTES
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
The internal certificate store of OpenSSL can hold several private
Packit Service 084de1
key/certificate pairs at a time. The certificate used depends on the
Packit Service 084de1
cipher selected, see also L<SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(3)>.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
When reading certificates and private keys from file, files of type
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1 (also known as B<DER>, binary encoding) can only contain
Packit Service 084de1
one certificate or private key, consequently
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() is only applicable to PEM formatting.
Packit Service 084de1
Files of type SSL_FILETYPE_PEM can contain more than one item.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() adds the first certificate found
Packit Service 084de1
in the file to the certificate store. The other certificates are added
Packit Service 084de1
to the store of chain certificates using L<SSL_CTX_add1_chain_cert(3)>. Note: versions of OpenSSL before 1.0.2 only had a single
Packit Service 084de1
certificate chain store for all certificate types, OpenSSL 1.0.2 and later
Packit Service 084de1
have a separate chain store for each type. SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
Packit Service 084de1
should be used instead of the SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file() function in order
Packit Service 084de1
to allow the use of complete certificate chains even when no trusted CA
Packit Service 084de1
storage is used or when the CA issuing the certificate shall not be added to
Packit Service 084de1
the trusted CA storage.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
If additional certificates are needed to complete the chain during the
Packit Service 084de1
TLS negotiation, CA certificates are additionally looked up in the
Packit Service 084de1
locations of trusted CA certificates, see
Packit Service 084de1
L<SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)>.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
The private keys loaded from file can be encrypted. In order to successfully
Packit Service 084de1
load encrypted keys, a function returning the passphrase must have been
Packit Service 084de1
supplied, see
Packit Service 084de1
L<SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb(3)>.
Packit Service 084de1
(Certificate files might be encrypted as well from the technical point
Packit Service 084de1
of view, it however does not make sense as the data in the certificate
Packit Service 084de1
is considered public anyway.)
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
All of the functions to set a new certificate will replace any existing
Packit Service 084de1
certificate of the same type that has already been set. Similarly all of the
Packit Service 084de1
functions to set a new private key will replace any private key that has already
Packit Service 084de1
been set. Applications should call L<SSL_CTX_check_private_key(3)> or
Packit Service 084de1
L<SSL_check_private_key(3)> as appropriate after loading a new certificate and
Packit Service 084de1
private key to confirm that the certificate and key match.
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
=head1 RETURN VALUES
Packit Service 084de1
Packit Service 084de1
On success, the functions return 1.
Packit Service 084de1
Otherwise check out the error stack to find out the reason.
