SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb(3)              OpenSSL             SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb(3)

NAME
       SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb, SSL_set_cert_cb - handle certificate callback
       function
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);
DESCRIPTION
       SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb() and SSL_set_cert_cb() sets the cert_cb()
       callback, arg value is pointer which is passed to the application
       callback.
       When 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 ssl structure and set or clear any appropriate
       certificates. If the callback is successful it 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.  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.
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 SSL object.
       The certificate callback functionality supercedes the (largely broken)
       functionality provided by the old client certificate callback
       interface.  It is 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 not be used.
