=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
SSL_get_peer_cert_chain, SSL_get0_verified_chain - get the X509 certificate
|
|
chain of the peer
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
|
|
|
|
STACK_OF(X509) *SSL_get_peer_cert_chain(const SSL *ssl);
|
|
STACK_OF(X509) *SSL_get0_verified_chain(const SSL *ssl);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() returns a pointer to STACK_OF(X509) certificates
|
|
forming the certificate chain sent by the peer. If called on the client side,
|
|
the stack also contains the peer's certificate; if called on the server
|
|
side, the peer's certificate must be obtained separately using
|
|
L<SSL_get_peer_certificate(3)>.
|
|
If the peer did not present a certificate, NULL is returned.
|
|
|
|
NB: SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() returns the peer chain as sent by the peer: it
|
|
only consists of certificates the peer has sent (in the order the peer
|
|
has sent them) it is B<not> a verified chain.
|
|
|
|
SSL_get0_verified_chain() returns the B<verified> certificate chain
|
|
of the peer including the peer's end entity certificate. It must be called
|
|
after a session has been successfully established. If peer verification was
|
|
not successful (as indicated by SSL_get_verify_result() not returning
|
|
X509_V_OK) the chain may be incomplete or invalid.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
If the session is resumed peers do not send certificates so a NULL pointer
|
|
is returned by these functions. Applications can call SSL_session_reused()
|
|
to determine whether a session is resumed.
|
|
|
|
The reference count of each certificate in the returned STACK_OF(X509) object
|
|
is not incremented and the returned stack may be invalidated by renegotiation.
|
|
If applications wish to use any certificates in the returned chain
|
|
indefinitely they must increase the reference counts using X509_up_ref() or
|
|
obtain a copy of the whole chain with X509_chain_up_ref().
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
The following return values can occur:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item NULL
|
|
|
|
No certificate was presented by the peer or no connection was established
|
|
or the certificate chain is no longer available when a session is reused.
|
|
|
|
=item Pointer to a STACK_OF(X509)
|
|
|
|
The return value points to the certificate chain presented by the peer.
