<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>
<p>SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb, SSL_set_cert_cb - handle certificate callback function</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb(SSL_CTX *c, int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg),
void *arg);
void SSL_set_cert_cb(SSL *s, int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg), void *arg);
int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg);</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb() and SSL_set_cert_cb() sets the cert_cb() callback, <b>arg</b> value is pointer which is passed to the application callback.</p>
<p>When cert_cb() is NULL, no callback function is used.</p>
<p>cert_cb() is the application defined callback. It is called before a certificate will be used by a client or server. The callback can then inspect the passed <b>ssl</b> structure and set or clear any appropriate certificates. If the callback is successful it <b>MUST</b> return 1 even if no certificates have been set. A zero is returned on error which will abort the handshake with a fatal internal error alert. A negative return value will suspend the handshake and the handshake function will return immediately. <a href="../man3/SSL_get_error.html">SSL_get_error(3)</a> will return SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP to indicate, that the handshake was suspended. The next call to the handshake function will again lead to the call of cert_cb(). It is the job of the cert_cb() to store information about the state of the last call, if required to continue.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>An application will typically call SSL_use_certificate() and SSL_use_PrivateKey() to set the end entity certificate and private key. It can add intermediate and optionally the root CA certificates using SSL_add1_chain_cert().</p>
<p>It might also call SSL_certs_clear() to delete any certificates associated with the <b>SSL</b> object.</p>
<p>The certificate callback functionality supersedes the (largely broken) functionality provided by the old client certificate callback interface. It is <b>always</b> called even is a certificate is already set so the callback can modify or delete the existing certificate.</p>
<p>A more advanced callback might examine the handshake parameters and set whatever chain is appropriate. For example a legacy client supporting only TLSv1.0 might receive a certificate chain signed using SHA1 whereas a TLSv1.2 or later client which advertises support for SHA256 could receive a chain using SHA256.</p>
<p>Normal server sanity checks are performed on any certificates set by the callback. So if an EC chain is set for a curve the client does not support it will <b>not</b> be used.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb() and SSL_set_cert_cb() do not return values.</p>
