gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name(3) [centos man page]

gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name(3)				      gnutls				    gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name(3)

NAME

       gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, unsigned int seq, void * ian, size_t * ian_size, unsigned int * critical);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
		   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure

       unsigned int seq
		   specifies the sequence number of the alt name (0 for the first one, 1 for the second etc.)

       void * ian  is the place where the alternative name will be copied to

       size_t * ian_size
		   holds the size of ian.

       unsigned int * critical
		   will be non-zero if the extension is marked as critical (may be null)

DESCRIPTION

       This function retrieves the Issuer Alternative Name (2.5.29.18), contained in the given certificate in the X509v3 Certificate Extensions.

       When the SAN type is otherName, it will extract the data in the otherName's value field, and GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME is returned.  You may use
       gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid() to get the corresponding OID and the "virtual" SAN types (e.g., GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP).

       If an otherName OID is known, the data will be decoded.	Otherwise the returned data will be DER encoded, and you will have  to	decode	it
       yourself.  Currently, only the RFC 3920 id-on-xmppAddr Issuer AltName is recognized.

RETURNS

       the  alternative  issuer  name  type  on success, one of the enumerated gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t.	It will return GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEM-
       ORY_BUFFER if  ian_size is not large enough to hold the value.  In that case  ian_size will be updated with the required size.  If the cer-
       tificate does not have an Alternative name with the specified sequence number then GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.

SINCE

       2.10.0

NAME

       gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, unsigned int seq, void * oid, size_t * oid_size);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
		   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure

       unsigned int seq
		   specifies the sequence number of the alt name (0 for the first one, 1 for the second etc.)

       void * oid  is the place where the otherName OID will be copied to

       size_t * oid_size
		   holds the size of ret.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will extract the type OID of an otherName Subject Alternative Name, contained in the given certificate, and return the type
       as an enumerated element.

       This function is only useful if gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name() returned GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME.

       If  oid is null then only the size will be filled. The  oid returned will be null terminated, although  oid_size will not account  for  the
       trailing null.

RETURNS

       the alternative subject name type on success, one of the enumerated gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t.  For supported OIDs, it will return one
       of the virtual (GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_*) types, e.g. GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP, and GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME for unknown OIDs.  It  will  return
       GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if
	ian_size is not large enough to hold the value.  In that case
	ian_size  will be updated with the required size.  If the certificate does not have an Alternative name with the specified sequence number
       and with the otherName type then GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.
