CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB(3)          libcurl         CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB - issuer SSL certificate from memory blob


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB,
                                 struct curl_blob *stblob);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains information
       (pointer and size) about a memory block with binary data of 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 should be 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).

       If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob
       set to CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer
       around after setting this.

       This option is an alternative to CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT(3) which instead
       expects a file name as input.


DEFAULT

       NULL


PROTOCOLS

       All TLS-based protocols


EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         struct curl_blob blob;
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         blob.data = certificateData;
         blob.len = filesize;
         blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB, &blob);
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }


AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.71.0. This option is supported by the OpenSSL backends.


RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if
       not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
