NAME

ossl_store - Store retrieval functions  

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/store.h>  

DESCRIPTION

 

General

A STORE is a layer of functionality to retrieve a number of supported objects from a repository of any kind, addressable as a file name or as a URI.

The functionality supports the pattern ``open a channel to the repository'', ``loop and retrieve one object at a time'', and ``finish up by closing the channel''.

The retrieved objects are returned as a wrapper type OSSL_STORE_INFO, from which an OpenSSL type can be retrieved.  

URI schemes and loaders

Support for a URI scheme is called a STORE ``loader'', and can be added dynamically from the calling application or from a loadable engine.

Support for the 'file' scheme is built into "libcrypto". See ossl_store-file(7) for more information.  

UI_METHOD and pass phrases

The OSS_STORE API does nothing to enforce any specific format or encoding on the pass phrase that the UI_METHOD provides. However, the pass phrase is expected to be UTF-8 encoded. The result of any other encoding is undefined.  

EXAMPLES

 

A generic call

 OSSL_STORE_CTX *ctx = OSSL_STORE_open("file:/foo/bar/data.pem");

 /*
  * OSSL_STORE_eof() simulates file semantics for any repository to signal
  * that no more data can be expected
  */
 while (!OSSL_STORE_eof(ctx)) {
     OSSL_STORE_INFO *info = OSSL_STORE_load(ctx);

     /*
      * Do whatever is necessary with the OSSL_STORE_INFO,
      * here just one example
      */
     switch (OSSL_STORE_INFO_get_type(info)) {
     case OSSL_STORE_INFO_X509:
         /* Print the X.509 certificate text */
         X509_print_fp(stdout, OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_CERT(info));
         /* Print the X.509 certificate PEM output */
         PEM_write_X509(stdout, OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_CERT(info));
         break;
     }
 }

 OSSL_STORE_close(ctx);
