.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
These functions initialise an \fBX509_STORE_CTX\fR structure for subsequent use
by \fBX509_verify_cert()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_new()\fR returns a newly initialised \fBX509_STORE_CTX\fR structure.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_cleanup()\fR internally cleans up an \fBX509_STORE_CTX\fR structure.
The context can then be reused with an new call to \fBX509_STORE_CTX_init()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_free()\fR completely frees up \fBctx\fR. After this call \fBctx\fR
is no longer valid.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_init()\fR sets up \fBctx\fR for a subsequent verification operation.
It must be called before each call to \fBX509_verify_cert()\fR, i.e. a \fBctx\fR is only
good for one call to \fBX509_verify_cert()\fR; if you want to verify a second
certificate with the same \fBctx\fR then you must call \fBX509_STORE_CTX_cleanup()\fR
and then \fBX509_STORE_CTX_init()\fR again before the second call to
\&\fBX509_verify_cert()\fR. The trusted certificate store is set to \fBstore\fR, the end
entity certificate to be verified is set to \fBx509\fR and a set of additional
certificates (which will be untrusted but may be used to build the chain) in
\&\fBchain\fR. Any or all of the \fBstore\fR, \fBx509\fR and \fBchain\fR parameters can be
\&\fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack()\fR sets the set of trusted certificates of \fBctx\fR
to \fBsk\fR. This is an alternative way of specifying trusted certificates 
instead of using an \fBX509_STORE\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_cert()\fR sets the certificate to be vertified in \fBctx\fR to
\&\fBx\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_chain()\fR sets the additional certificate chain used by \fBctx\fR
to \fBsk\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls()\fR sets a set of CRLs to use to aid certificate
verification to \fBsk\fR. These CRLs will only be used if \s-1CRL\s0 verification is
enabled in the associated \fBX509_VERIFY_PARAM\fR structure. This might be
used where additional \*(L"useful\*(R" CRLs are supplied as part of a protocol,
for example in a PKCS#7 structure.
.PP
X509_VERIFY_PARAM *\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get0_param()\fR retrieves an intenal pointer
to the verification parameters associated with \fBctx\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set0_param()\fR sets the intenal verification parameter pointer
to \fBparam\fR. After this call \fBparam\fR should not be used.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_default()\fR looks up and sets the default verification
method to \fBname\fR. This uses the function \fBX509_VERIFY_PARAM_lookup()\fR to
find an appropriate set of parameters from \fBname\fR.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The certificates and CRLs in a store are used internally and should \fBnot\fR
be freed up until after the associated \fBX509_STORE_CTX\fR is freed. Legacy
applications might implicitly use an \fBX509_STORE_CTX\fR like this:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  X509_STORE_CTX ctx;
\&  X509_STORE_CTX_init(&ctx, store, cert, chain);
.Ve
.PP
this is \fBnot\fR recommended in new applications they should instead do:
.PP
.Vb 5
\&  X509_STORE_CTX *ctx;
\&  ctx = X509_STORE_CTX_new();
\&  if (ctx == NULL)
\&        /* Bad error */
\&  X509_STORE_CTX_init(ctx, store, cert, chain);
.Ve
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
The certificates and CRLs in a context are used internally and should \fBnot\fR
be freed up until after the associated \fBX509_STORE_CTX\fR is freed. Copies
should be made or reference counts increased instead.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_new()\fR returns an newly allocates context or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR is an
error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_init()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get0_param()\fR returns a pointer to an \fBX509_VERIFY_PARAM\fR
structure or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_cleanup()\fR, \fBX509_STORE_CTX_free()\fR, \fBX509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack()\fR,
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_cert()\fR, \fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_chain()\fR,
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls()\fR and \fBX509_STORE_CTX_set0_param()\fR do not return
values.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_default()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
