20
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list() sets the B<list> of CAs sent to the client when
21
requesting a client certificate for B<ctx>.
23
SSL_set_client_CA_list() sets the B<list> of CAs sent to the client when
24
requesting a client certificate for the chosen B<ssl>, overriding the
25
setting valid for B<ssl>'s SSL_CTX object.
27
SSL_CTX_add_client_CA() adds the CA name extracted from B<cacert> to the
28
list of CAs sent to the client when requesting a client certificate for
31
SSL_add_client_CA() adds the CA name extracted from B<cacert> to the
32
list of CAs sent to the client when requesting a client certificate for
33
the chosen B<ssl>, overriding the setting valid for B<ssl>'s SSL_CTX object.
37
When a TLS/SSL server requests a client certificate (see
38
B<SSL_CTX_set_verify_options()>), it sends a list of CAs, for which
39
it will accept certificates, to the client.
41
This list must explicitly be set using SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list() for
42
B<ctx> and SSL_set_client_CA_list() for the specific B<ssl>. The list
43
specified overrides the previous setting. The CAs listed do not become
44
trusted (B<list> only contains the names, not the complete certificates); use
45
L<SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)|SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)>
46
to additionally load them for verification.
48
If the list of acceptable CAs is compiled in a file, the
49
L<SSL_load_client_CA_file(3)|SSL_load_client_CA_file(3)>
50
function can be used to help importing the necessary data.
52
SSL_CTX_add_client_CA() and SSL_add_client_CA() can be used to add additional
53
items the list of client CAs. If no list was specified before using
54
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list() or SSL_set_client_CA_list(), a new client
55
CA list for B<ctx> or B<ssl> (as appropriate) is opened.
57
These functions are only useful for TLS/SSL servers.
61
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list() and SSL_set_client_CA_list() do not return
62
diagnostic information.
64
SSL_CTX_add_client_CA() and SSL_add_client_CA() have the following return
71
The operation succeeded.
79
A failure while manipulating the STACK_OF(X509_NAME) object occurred or
80
the X509_NAME could not be extracted from B<cacert>. Check the error stack
81
to find out the reason.
87
Scan all certificates in B<CAfile> and list them as acceptable CAs:
89
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(ctx,SSL_load_client_CA_file(CAfile));
94
L<SSL_get_client_CA_list(3)|SSL_get_client_CA_list(3)>,
95
L<SSL_load_client_CA_file(3)|SSL_load_client_CA_file(3)>,
96
L<SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)|SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)>
