Question 1:
Is there a simple way using exported (i.e. - available
to general use via the openssl library and having definitions
in openssl.h) OpenSSL functions to do the following:
During the SSL connection process, if a user CERT has
been presented, get the cert chain?
Here is the code that I am using the check the
USER certificate. Note that I uses SSL_get_peer_certificate(ssl)
to get the peer certificate.
Is there a function such as SSL_get_issuer_certifivate(ssl,peer)?
i.e. - issuer = SSL_get_issuer_certificate( ssl, peer );
If not, then where can I find a code template or the internal
information to write one?
/* now we check to see which server we talked to */
verify_result = SSL_get_verify_result(ssl);
if( verify_result != X509_V_OK ){
DEBUG1("Open_SSL_connection: SSL_get_verify_result '%s'",
X509_verify_cert_error_string(verify_result) );
SNPRINTF(errmsg,errlen)
"SSL_connect failed, peer certificat not verified: '%s'",
X509_verify_cert_error_string(verify_result) );
status = -1;
goto done;
} else {
X509 *peer;
peer = SSL_get_peer_certificate(ssl);
if( peer ){
if( X509_NAME_oneline( X509_get_subject_name( peer ),
buffer, sizeof(buffer) ) ){
DEBUG1("Open_SSL_connection: subject '%s'", buffer );
if( info ) Set_str_value(info,SERVER,buffer);
}
if( X509_NAME_oneline( X509_get_issuer_name( peer ),
buffer, sizeof(buffer) ) ){
if( info ) Set_str_value(info,ISSUER,buffer);
DEBUG1("Open_SSL_connection: issuer '%s'", buffer );
}
/* the SSL_get_peer_certificate man page indicates that
this memory is not freed */
X509_free(peer); peer = 0;
}
}
Question 2:
Now I just KNOW that I saw this, and everybody is going to laugh at this,
but:
If I have found a CERT using, say, peer = SSL_get_peer_certificate(ssl)
as in the example above, and I have a list of CERTS in a file or
directory (i.e. - as for the CA cert, etc), how can I check to see
if the peer cert (in the example) is in this list or directory?
I just KNOW that I saw this in some SSL or related code, but I cannot
remember the exact details and searching has not found it again.
