CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT(3)               libcurl              CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT - issuer SSL certificate filename


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, char *file);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a char * to a null-terminated string naming a file holding a CA
       certificate in PEM format. If the option is set, an additional check
       against the peer certificate is performed to verify the issuer is
       indeed the one associated with the certificate provided by the option.
       This additional check is useful in multi-level PKI where one needs to
       enforce that the peer certificate is from a specific branch of the
       tree.

       This option makes sense only when used in combination with the
       CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option. Otherwise, the result of the check is
       not considered as failure.

       A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the
       option, which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has
       failed due to a mismatch with the issuer of peer certificate
       (CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) has to be set too for the check to fail).
       (Added in 7.19.0)

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
       this option.

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, "/etc/certs/cacert.pem");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
