NAME
SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx - get ex_data index to access SSL
structure from X509_STORE_CTX
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx(void);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() returns the index number under
which the pointer to the SSL object is stored into the X509_STORE_CTX
object.
NOTES
Whenever a X509_STORE_CTX object is created for the verification of the
peers certificate during a handshake, a pointer to the SSL object is
stored into the X509_STORE_CTX object to identify the connection
affected. To retrieve this pointer the X509_STORE_CTX_get_ex_data()
function can be used with the correct index. This index is globally the
same for all X509_STORE_CTX objects and can be retrieved using
SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx(). The index value is set when
SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() is first called either by the
application program directly or indirectly during other SSL setup
functions or during the handshake.
The value depends on other index values defined for X509_STORE_CTX
objects before the SSL index is created.
RETURN VALUES
>=0 The index value to access the pointer.
<0 An error occurred, check the error stack for a detailed error
message.
EXAMPLES
The index returned from SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() allows to
access the SSL object for the connection to be accessed during the
verify_callback() when checking the peers certificate. Please check the
example in SSL_CTX_set_verify(3),
