=head1 NAME
SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb, SSL_set_cert_cb - handle certificate callback function
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb(SSL_CTX *c, int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg), void *arg);
void SSL_set_cert_cb(SSL *s, int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg), void *arg);
int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb() and SSL_set_cert_cb() sets the B<cert_cb()> callback,
B<arg> value is pointer which is passed to the application callback.
When B<cert_cb()> is NULL, no callback function is used.
cert_cb() is the application defined callback. It is called before a
certificate will be used by a client or server. The callback can then inspect
the passed B<ssl> structure and set or clear any appropriate certificates. If
the callback is successful it B<MUST> return 1 even if no certificates have
been set. A zero is returned on error which will abort the handshake with a
fatal internal error alert. A negative return value will suspend the handshake
and the handshake function will return immediately.
L<SSL_get_error(3)|SSL_get_error(3)> will return SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP to
indicate, that the handshake was suspended. The next call to the handshake
function will again lead to the call of cert_cb(). It is the job of the
cert_cb() to store information about the state of the last call,
if required to continue.
=head1 NOTES
An application will typically call SSL_use_certificate() and
SSL_use_PrivateKey() to set the end entity certificate and private key.
It can add intermediate and optionally the root CA certificates using
SSL_add1_chain_cert().
It might also call SSL_certs_clear() to delete any certificates associated
with the B<SSL> object.
The certificate callback functionality supercedes the (largely broken)
functionality provided by the old client certificate callback interface.
It is B<always> called even is a certificate is already set so the callback
can modify or delete the existing certificate.
A more advanced callback might examine the handshake parameters and set
whatever chain is appropriate. For example a legacy client supporting only
TLS v1.0 might receive a certificate chain signed using SHA1 whereas a
TLS v1.2 client which advertises support for SHA256 could receive a chain
using SHA256.
Normal server sanity checks are performed on any certificates set
by the callback. So if an EC chain is set for a curve the client does not
support it will B<not> be used.
