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