OSSL_STORE(7SSL) OpenSSL OSSL_STORE(7SSL) 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); SEE ALSO

ossl_store-file - The store 'file' scheme loader SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/store.h> DESCRIPTION
Support for the 'file' scheme is built into "libcrypto". Since files come in all kinds of formats and content types, the 'file' scheme has its own layer of functionality called "file handlers", which are used to try to decode diverse types of file contents. In case a file is formatted as PEM, each called file handler receives the PEM name (everything following any '"-----BEGIN "') as well as possible PEM headers, together with the decoded PEM body. Since PEM formatted files can contain more than one object, the file handlers are called upon for each such object. If the file isn't determined to be formatted as PEM, the content is loaded in raw form in its entirety and passed to the available file handlers as is, with no PEM name or headers. Each file handler is expected to handle PEM and non-PEM content as appropriate. Some may refuse non-PEM content for the sake of determinism (for example, there are keys out in the wild that are represented as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING. In raw form, it's not easily possible to distinguish those from any other data coming as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING, so such keys would naturally be accepted as PEM files only). NOTES
When needed, the 'file' scheme loader will require a pass phrase by using the "UI_METHOD" that was passed via OSSL_STORE_open(). This pass phrase is expected to be UTF-8 encoded, anything else will give an undefined result. The files made accessible through this loader are expected to be standard compliant with regards to pass phrase encoding. Files that aren't should be re-generated with a correctly encoded pass phrase. See passphrase-encoding(7) for more information. SEE ALSO
