Re: Error loading files using X509_STORE_load_locations

[Amar Desai]

Hi

Hi,
I'm trying to load the CA certificate and create a store using the
X509_STORE_load_locations() function, but the function seems to fail. I
am using absolute path of the CA directory as an argument, which is
different from the /etc/ssl/certs location. Is it necessary to put the
CA certs in the /etc/ssl/certs location? Here's the code:
 X509_STORE *store;
 X509_LOOKUP *lookup;
 /* create the cert store and set the verify callback */
 if (!(store = X509_STORE_new ())){
     fprintf (stderr, "Error creating X509_STORE_CTX object\n");
     goto err1;
   }
 X509_STORE_set_verify_cb_func (store, VerifyCallback);

 if (!X509_STORE_load_locations(store, CA_FILE, CA_DIR)){
     fprintf (stderr, "Error loading the CA file or directory\n");
     goto err1;
   }
where

#define CA_FILE "cacert.pem"
#define CA_DIR "/docs/openssl/CA/certs"
Is "cacert.pem" is in your current directory? Have you tried absolute 
path for file as well? And last thing does you file "cacert.pem " 
contains atleast one good certificate?

I hope this will help you.

Regards
Amar
