Function Documentation

  int hx509_ca_sign (hx509_context context, hx509_ca_tbs tbs, hx509_cert signer, hx509_cert * certificate)

Sign a to-be-signed certificate object with a issuer certificate.

The caller needs to at least have called the following functions on the to-be-signed certificate object:

•   hx509_ca_tbs_init()

•   hx509_ca_tbs_set_subject()

•   hx509_ca_tbs_set_spki()

When done the to-be-signed certificate object should be freed with hx509_ca_tbs_free().

When creating self-signed certificate use hx509_ca_sign_self() instead.

Parameters:
    context A hx509 context.
    tbs object to be signed.
    signer the CA certificate object to sign with (need private key).
    certificate return cerificate, free with hx509_cert_free().

Returns:
    An hx509 error code, see hx509_get_error_string().

  int hx509_ca_sign_self (hx509_context context, hx509_ca_tbs tbs, hx509_private_key signer, hx509_cert * certificate)

Work just like hx509_ca_sign() but signs it-self.

Parameters:
    context A hx509 context.
    tbs object to be signed.
    signer private key to sign with.
    certificate return cerificate, free with hx509_cert_free().

Returns:
    An hx509 error code, see hx509_get_error_string().

  int hx509_ca_tbs_add_crl_dp_uri (hx509_context context, hx509_ca_tbs tbs, const char * uri, hx509_name issuername)

Add CRL distribution point URI to the to-be-signed certificate object.

Parameters:
    context A hx509 context.
    tbs object to be signed.
    uri uri to the CRL.
    issuername name of the issuer.

Returns:
    An hx509 error code, see hx509_get_error_string().

issuername not supported

  int hx509_ca_tbs_add_eku (hx509_context context, hx509_ca_tbs tbs, const heim_oid * oid)
