DESCRIPTION

       SSL_CTX_set0_chain() and SSL_CTX_set1_chain() set the certificate chain associated with
       the current certificate of ctx to sk.

       SSL_CTX_add0_chain_cert() and SSL_CTX_add1_chain_cert() append the single certificate x509
       to the chain associated with the current certificate of ctx.

       SSL_CTX_get0_chain_certs() retrieves the chain associated with the current certificate of
       ctx.

       SSL_CTX_clear_chain_certs() clears any existing chain associated with the current
       certificate of ctx.  (This is implemented by calling SSL_CTX_set0_chain() with sk set to
       NULL).

       SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() builds the certificate chain for ctx.  Normally this uses the
       chain store or the verify store if the chain store is not set.  If the function is
       successful the built chain will replace any existing chain.  The flags parameter can be
       set to SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_UNTRUSTED to use existing chain certificates as untrusted CAs,
       SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_NO_ROOT to omit the root CA from the built chain,
       SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CHECK to use all existing chain certificates only to build the chain
       (effectively sanity checking and rearranging them if necessary), the flag
       SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERROR ignores any errors during verification: if flag
       SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CLEAR_ERROR is also set verification errors are cleared from the
       error queue.  Details of the chain building process are described in "Certification Path
       Building" in openssl-verification-options(1).

       Each of these functions operates on the current end entity (i.e. server or client)
       certificate. This is the last certificate loaded or selected on the corresponding ctx
       structure.

       SSL_CTX_select_current_cert() selects x509 as the current end entity certificate, but only
       if x509 has already been loaded into ctx using a function such as
       SSL_CTX_use_certificate().

       SSL_set0_chain(), SSL_set1_chain(), SSL_add0_chain_cert(), SSL_add1_chain_cert(),
       SSL_get0_chain_certs(), SSL_clear_chain_certs(), SSL_build_cert_chain(),
       SSL_select_current_cert() and SSL_set_current_cert() are similar except they apply to SSL
       structure ssl.

       SSL_CTX_set_current_cert() changes the current certificate to a value based on the op
       argument. Currently op can be SSL_CERT_SET_FIRST to use the first valid certificate or
       SSL_CERT_SET_NEXT to set the next valid certificate after the current certificate. These
       two operations can be used to iterate over all certificates in an SSL_CTX structure.

       SSL_set_current_cert() also supports the option SSL_CERT_SET_SERVER.  If ssl is a server
       and has sent a certificate to a connected client this option sets that certificate to the
       current certificate and returns 1.  If the negotiated cipher suite is anonymous (and thus
       no certificate will be sent) 2 is returned and the current certificate is unchanged. If
       ssl is not a server or a certificate has not been sent 0 is returned and the current
       certificate is unchanged.

       All these functions are implemented as macros. Those containing a 1 increment the
       reference count of the supplied certificate or chain so it must be freed at some point
       after the operation. Those containing a 0 do not increment reference counts and the
       supplied certificate or chain MUST NOT be freed after the operation.

NOTES

       The chains associate with an SSL_CTX structure are copied to any SSL structures when
       SSL_new() is called. SSL structures will not be affected by any chains subsequently
       changed in the parent SSL_CTX.

       One chain can be set for each key type supported by a server. So, for example, an RSA and
       a DSA certificate can (and often will) have different chains.

       The functions SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() and SSL_build_cert_chain() can be used to check
       application configuration and to ensure any necessary subordinate CAs are sent in the
       correct order. Misconfigured applications sending incorrect certificate chains often cause
       problems with peers.

       For example an application can add any set of certificates using
       SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() then call SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() with the option
       SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CHECK to check and reorder them.

       Applications can issue non fatal warnings when checking chains by setting the flag
       SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERRORS and checking the return value.

       Calling SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() or SSL_build_cert_chain() is more efficient than the
       automatic chain building as it is only performed once.  Automatic chain building is
       performed on each new session.

       If any certificates are added using these functions no certificates added using
       SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() will be used.

RETURN VALUES

       SSL_set_current_cert() with SSL_CERT_SET_SERVER return 1 for success, 2 if no server
       certificate is used because the cipher suites is anonymous and 0 for failure.

       SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() and SSL_build_cert_chain() return 1 for success and 0 for
       failure. If the flag SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERROR and a verification error occurs
       then 2 is returned.

       All other functions return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
