gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse — API function

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/pkcs12.h>
int gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse( gnutls_pkcs12_t p12,
  const char * password,
  gnutls_x509_privkey_t * key,
  gnutls_x509_crt_t * cert,
  gnutls_x509_crt_t ** extra_certs_ret,
  unsigned int * extra_certs_ret_len,
  gnutls_x509_crl_t * crl);
 

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_pkcs12_t p12

the PKCS12 blob.

const char * password

optional password used to decrypt PKCS12 blob, bags and keys.

gnutls_x509_privkey_t * key

a structure to store the parsed private key.

gnutls_x509_crt_t * cert

a structure to store the parsed certificate.

gnutls_x509_crt_t ** extra_certs_ret

optional pointer to receive an array of additional certificates found in the PKCS12 blob.

unsigned int * extra_certs_ret_len

will be updated with the number of additional certs.

gnutls_x509_crl_t * crl

a structure to store the parsed CRL.

DESCRIPTION

This function parses a PKCS12 blob in p12blob and extracts the private key, the corresponding certificate, and any additional certificates and a CRL.

The extra_certs_ret and extra_certs_ret_len parameters are optional and both may be set to NULL. If either is non−NULL, then both must be.

MAC

ed PKCS12 files are supported. Encrypted PKCS12 bags are supported. Encrypted PKCS8 private keys are supported. However, only password based security, and the same password for all operations, are supported.

The private keys may be RSA PKCS1 or DSA private keys encoded in the OpenSSL way.

PKCS12 file may contain many keys and/or certificates, and there is no way to identify which key/certificate pair you want. You should make sure the PKCS12 file only contain one key/certificate pair and/or one CRL.

It is believed that the limitations of this function is acceptable for most usage, and that any more flexibility would introduce complexity that would make it harder to use this functionality at all.

RETURNS

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
