|
\&\fISSL_CTX_load_verify_locations()\fR specifies the locations for \fBctx\fR, at
|
|
which \s-1CA\s0 certificates for verification purposes are located. The certificates
|
|
available via \fBCAfile\fR and \fBCApath\fR are trusted.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
If \fBCAfile\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0, it points to a file of \s-1CA\s0 certificates in \s-1PEM\s0
|
|
format. The file can contain several \s-1CA\s0 certificates identified by
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 3
|
|
\& -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
|
|
\& ... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
|
|
\& -----END CERTIFICATE-----
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
sequences. Before, between, and after the certificates text is allowed
|
|
which can be used e.g. for descriptions of the certificates.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBCAfile\fR is processed on execution of the \fISSL_CTX_load_verify_locations()\fR
|
|
function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fBCApath\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0, it points to a directory containing \s-1CA\s0 certificates
|
|
in \s-1PEM\s0 format. The files each contain one \s-1CA\s0 certificate. The files are
|
|
looked up by the \s-1CA\s0 subject name hash value, which must hence be available.
|
|
If more than one \s-1CA\s0 certificate with the same name hash value exist, the
|
|
extension must be different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 etc). The search
|
|
is performed in the ordering of the extension number, regardless of other
|
|
properties of the certificates.
|
|
Use the \fBc_rehash\fR utility to create the necessary links.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The certificates in \fBCApath\fR are only looked up when required, e.g. when
|
|
building the certificate chain or when actually performing the verification
|
|
of a peer certificate.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When looking up \s-1CA\s0 certificates, the OpenSSL library will first search the
|
|
certificates in \fBCAfile\fR, then those in \fBCApath\fR. Certificate matching
|
|
is done based on the subject name, the key identifier (if present), and the
|
|
serial number as taken from the certificate to be verified. If these data
|
|
do not match, the next certificate will be tried. If a first certificate
|
|
matching the parameters is found, the verification process will be performed;
|
|
no other certificates for the same parameters will be searched in case of
|
|
failure.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In server mode, when requesting a client certificate, the server must send
|
|
the list of CAs of which it will accept client certificates. This list
|
|
is not influenced by the contents of \fBCAfile\fR or \fBCApath\fR and must
|
|
explicitly be set using the
|
|
\&\fISSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list\fR\|(3)
|
|
family of functions.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When building its own certificate chain, an OpenSSL client/server will
|
|
try to fill in missing certificates from \fBCAfile\fR/\fBCApath\fR, if the
|
|
certificate chain was not explicitly specified (see
|
|
\&\fISSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert\fR\|(3),
|
|
\&\fISSL_CTX_use_certificate\fR\|(3).
|
|
.SH "WARNINGS"
|
|
.IX Header "WARNINGS"
|
|
If several \s-1CA\s0 certificates matching the name, key identifier, and serial
|
|
number condition are available, only the first one will be examined. This
|
|
may lead to unexpected results if the same \s-1CA\s0 certificate is available
|
|
with different expiration dates. If a \*(L"certificate expired\*(R" verification
|
|
error occurs, no other certificate will be searched. Make sure to not
|
|
have expired certificates mixed with valid ones.
