NAME

OCSP_REQUEST_new, OCSP_REQUEST_free, OCSP_request_add0_id, OCSP_request_sign, OCSP_request_add1_cert, OCSP_request_onereq_count, OCSP_request_onereq_get0 - OCSP request functions

SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ocsp.h>

 OCSP_REQUEST *OCSP_REQUEST_new(void);
 void OCSP_REQUEST_free(OCSP_REQUEST *req);

 OCSP_ONEREQ *OCSP_request_add0_id(OCSP_REQUEST *req, OCSP_CERTID *cid);

 int OCSP_request_sign(OCSP_REQUEST *req,
                       X509 *signer, EVP_PKEY *key, const EVP_MD *dgst,
                       STACK_OF(X509) *certs, unsigned long flags);

 int OCSP_request_add1_cert(OCSP_REQUEST *req, X509 *cert);

 int OCSP_request_onereq_count(OCSP_REQUEST *req);
 OCSP_ONEREQ *OCSP_request_onereq_get0(OCSP_REQUEST *req, int i);

DESCRIPTION

OCSP_REQUEST_new() allocates and returns an empty structure.

OCSP_REQUEST_free() frees up the request structure req.

OCSP_request_add0_id() adds certificate

cid to req. It returns the structure added so an application can add additional extensions to the request. The id parameter be freed up after the operation.

OCSP_request_sign() signs

request req using certificate signer, private key key, digest dgst and additional certificates certs. If the flags option is set then no certificates will be included in the request.

OCSP_request_add1_cert() adds certificate cert to request req. The application is responsible for freeing up cert after use.

OCSP_request_onereq_count() returns the total number of

structures in req.

OCSP_request_onereq_get0() returns an internal pointer to the

contained in req of index i. The index value i runs from 0 to OCSP_request_onereq_count(req) - 1.

RETURN VALUES

OCSP_REQUEST_new() returns an empty structure or if an error occurred.

OCSP_request_add0_id() returns the

structure containing cid or if an error occurred.

OCSP_request_sign() and OCSP_request_add1_cert() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

OCSP_request_onereq_count() returns the total number of

structures in req.

OCSP_request_onereq_get0() returns a pointer to an

structure or if the index value is out or range.

NOTES

An request structure contains one or more structures corresponding to each certificate.

OCSP_request_onereq_count() and OCSP_request_onereq_get0() are mainly used by

responders.

EXAMPLE

Create an structure for certificate cert with issuer issuer:

 OCSP_REQUEST *req;
 OCSP_ID *cid;

 req = OCSP_REQUEST_new();
 if (req == NULL)
    /* error */
 cid = OCSP_cert_to_id(EVP_sha1(), cert, issuer);
 if (cid == NULL)
    /* error */

 if (OCSP_REQUEST_add0_id(req, cid) == NULL)
    /* error */

  /* Do something with req, e.g. query responder */

 OCSP_REQUEST_free(req);
