=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(), X509_NAME_add_entry_by_OBJ() and
|
|
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_NID() add a field whose name is defined
|
|
by a string B<field>, an object B<obj> or a NID B<nid> respectively.
|
|
The field value to be added is in B<bytes> of length B<len>. If
|
|
B<len> is -1 then the field length is calculated internally using
|
|
strlen(bytes).
|
|
|
|
The type of field is determined by B<type> which can either be a
|
|
definition of the type of B<bytes> (such as B<MBSTRING_ASC>) or a
|
|
standard ASN1 type (such as B<V_ASN1_IA5STRING>). The new entry is
|
|
added to a position determined by B<loc> and B<set>.
|
|
|
|
X509_NAME_add_entry() adds a copy of B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> structure B<ne>
|
|
to B<name>. The new entry is added to a position determined by B<loc>
|
|
and B<set>. Since a copy of B<ne> is added B<ne> must be freed up after
|
|
the call.
|
|
|
|
X509_NAME_delete_entry() deletes an entry from B<name> at position
|
|
B<loc>. The deleted entry is returned and must be freed up.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The use of string types such as B<MBSTRING_ASC> or B<MBSTRING_UTF8>
|
|
is strongly recommended for the B<type> parameter. This allows the
|
|
internal code to correctly determine the type of the field and to
|
|
apply length checks according to the relevant standards. This is
|
|
done using ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID().
|
|
|
|
If instead an ASN1 type is used no checks are performed and the
|
|
supplied data in B<bytes> is used directly.
|
|
|
|
In X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt() the B<field> string represents
|
|
the field name using OBJ_txt2obj(field, 0).
|
|
|
|
The B<loc> and B<set> parameters determine where a new entry should
|
|
be added. For almost all applications B<loc> can be set to -1 and B<set>
|
|
to 0. This adds a new entry to the end of B<name> as a single valued
|
|
RelativeDistinguishedName (RDN).
|
|
|
|
B<loc> actually determines the index where the new entry is inserted:
|
|
if it is -1 it is appended.
|
|
|
|
B<set> determines how the new type is added. If it is zero a
|
|
new RDN is created.
|
|
|
|
If B<set> is -1 or 1 it is added to the previous or next RDN
|
|
structure respectively. This will then be a multivalued RDN:
|
|
since multivalues RDNs are very seldom used B<set> is almost
|
|
always set to zero.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(), X509_NAME_add_entry_by_OBJ(),
|
|
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_NID() and X509_NAME_add_entry() return 1 for
|
|
success of 0 if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
X509_NAME_delete_entry() returns either the deleted B<X509_NAME_ENTRY>
|
|
structure of B<NULL> if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Create an B<X509_NAME> structure:
|
|
|
|
"C=UK, O=Disorganized Organization, CN=Joe Bloggs"
|
|
|
|
X509_NAME *nm;
|
|
|
|
nm = X509_NAME_new();
|
|
if (nm == NULL)
|
|
/* Some error */
|
|
if (!X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "C", MBSTRING_ASC,
|
|
"UK", -1, -1, 0))
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
if (!X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "O", MBSTRING_ASC,
|
|
"Disorganized Organization", -1, -1, 0))
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
if (!X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC,
|
|
"Joe Bloggs", -1, -1, 0))
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
B<type> can still be set to B<V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE> to use a
|
|
different algorithm to determine field types. Since this form does
|
|
not understand multicharacter types, performs no length checks and
|
|
can result in invalid field types its use is strongly discouraged.
