<p>SSL_load_client_CA_file, SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack, SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack - load certificate names</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/ssl.h>
STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *SSL_load_client_CA_file(const char *file);
int SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *stack,

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>SSL_load_client_CA_file() reads certificates from <i>file</i> and returns a STACK_OF(X509_NAME) with the subject names found.</p>
<p>SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack() reads certificates from <i>file</i>, and adds their subject name to the already existing <i>stack</i>.</p>
<p>SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() reads certificates from every file in the directory <i>dir</i>, and adds their subject name to the already existing <i>stack</i>.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>SSL_load_client_CA_file() reads a file of PEM formatted certificates and extracts the X509_NAMES of the certificates found. While the name suggests the specific usage as support function for <a href="../man3/SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list.html">SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(3)</a>, it is not limited to CA certificates.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>The following return values can occur:</p>
<dl>
<dt id="NULL">NULL</dt>
<dd>
<p>The operation failed, check out the error stack for the reason.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="Pointer-to-STACK_OF-X509_NAME">Pointer to STACK_OF(X509_NAME)</dt>
<dd>
<p>Pointer to the subject names of the successfully read certificates.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<h1 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h1>
<p>Load names of CAs from file and use it as a client CA list:</p>
<pre><code> SSL_CTX *ctx;
STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *cert_names;
...
cert_names = SSL_load_client_CA_file("/path/to/CAfile.pem");
if (cert_names != NULL)
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(ctx, cert_names);
else
/* error */
