This setting stays valid +until a new value is set. + +SSL_get_max_cert_list() returns the currently set maximum size for B<ssl>. + +=head1 NOTES + +During the handshake process, the peer may send a certificate chain. +The TLS/SSL standard does not give any maximum size of the certificate chain. +The OpenSSL library handles incoming data by a dynamically allocated buffer. +In order to prevent this buffer from growing without bounds due to data +received from a faulty or malicious peer, a maximum size for the certificate +chain is set. + +The default value for the maximum certificate chain size is 100kB (30kB +on the 16bit DOS platform). This should be sufficient for usual certificate +chains (OpenSSL's default maximum chain length is 10, see +L<SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)|SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)>, and certificates +without special extensions have a typical size of 1-2kB). + +For special applications it can be necessary to extend the maximum certificate +chain size allowed to be sent by the peer, see e.g. the work on +"Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Proxy Certificate Profile" +and "TLS Delegation Protocol" at http://www.ietf.org/ and +http://www.globus.org/ . + +Under normal conditions it should never be necessary to set a value smaller +than the default, as the buffer is handled dynamically and only uses the +memory actually required by the data sent by the peer. + +If the maximum certificate chain size allowed is exceeded, the handshake will +fail with a SSL_R_EXCESSIVE_MESSAGE_SIZE error. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +SSL_CTX_set_max_cert_list() and SSL_set_max_cert_list() return the previously +set value. + +SSL_CTX_get_max_cert_list() and SSL_get_max_cert_list() return the currently +set value. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ssl(3)|ssl(3)>, L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)>, +L<SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)|SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +SSL*_set/get_max_cert_list() have been introduced in OpenSSL 0.9.7. + +=cut |
