After this call B<ctx> +is no longer valid. + +X509_STORE_CTX_init() sets up B<ctx> for a subsequent verification operation. +The trusted certificate store is set to B<store>, the end entity certificate +to be verified is set to B<x509> and a set of additional certificates (which +will be untrusted but may be used to build the chain) in B<chain>. Any or +all of the B<store>, B<x509> and B<chain> parameters can be B<NULL>. + +X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack() sets the set of trusted certificates of B<ctx> +to B<sk>. This is an alternative way of specifying trusted certificates +instead of using an B<X509_STORE>. + +X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert() sets the certificate to be vertified in B<ctx> to +B<x>. + +X509_STORE_CTX_set_chain() sets the additional certificate chain used by B<ctx> +to B<sk>. + +X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls() sets a set of CRLs to use to aid certificate +verification to B<sk>. These CRLs will only be used if CRL verification is +enabled in the associated B<X509_VERIFY_PARAM> structure. This might be +used where additional "useful" CRLs are supplied as part of a protocol, +for example in a PKCS#7 structure. + +X509_VERIFY_PARAM *X509_STORE_CTX_get0_param() retrieves an intenal pointer +to the verification parameters associated with B<ctx>. + +X509_STORE_CTX_set0_param() sets the intenal verification parameter pointer +to B<param>. After this call B<param> should not be used. + +X509_STORE_CTX_set_default() looks up and sets the default verification +method to B<name>. This uses the function X509_VERIFY_PARAM_lookup() to +find an appropriate set of parameters from B<name>. + +=head1 NOTES + +The certificates and CRLs in a store are used internally and should B<not> +be freed up until after the associated B<X509_STORE_CTX> is freed. Legacy +applications might implicitly use an B<X509_STORE_CTX> like this: + + X509_STORE_CTX ctx; + X509_STORE_CTX_init(&ctx, store, cert, chain); + +this is B<not> recommended in new applications they should instead do: + + X509_STORE_CTX *ctx; + ctx = X509_STORE_CTX_new(); + if (ctx == NULL) + /* Bad error */ + X509_STORE_CTX_init(ctx, store, cert, chain); + +=head1 BUGS + +The certificates and CRLs in a context are used internally and should B<not> +be freed up until after the associated B<X509_STORE_CTX> is freed.
