DESCRIPTION

       The X509_STORE structure is intended to be a consolidated mechanism for holding
       information about X.509 certificates and CRLs, and constructing and validating chains of
       certificates terminating in trusted roots.  It admits multiple lookup mechanisms and
       efficient scaling performance with large numbers of certificates, and a great deal of
       flexibility in how validation and policy checks are performed.

       Details of the chain building and checking process are described in "Certification Path
       Building" in openssl-verification-options(1) and "Certification Path Validation" in
       openssl-verification-options(1).

       X509_STORE_new(3) creates an empty X509_STORE structure, which contains no information
       about trusted certificates or where such certificates are located on disk, and is
       generally not usable.  Normally, trusted certificates will be added to the X509_STORE to
       prepare it for use, via mechanisms such as X509_STORE_add_lookup() and X509_LOOKUP_file(),
       or PEM_read_bio_X509_AUX() and X509_STORE_add_cert().  CRLs can also be added, and many
       behaviors configured as desired.

       Once the X509_STORE is suitably configured, X509_STORE_CTX_new() is used to instantiate a
       single-use X509_STORE_CTX for each chain-building and verification operation.  That
       process includes providing the end-entity certificate to be verified and an additional set
       of untrusted certificates that may be used in chain-building.  As such, it is expected
       that the certificates included in the X509_STORE are certificates that represent trusted
       entities such as root certificate authorities (CAs).  OpenSSL represents these trusted
       certificates internally as X509 objects with an associated X509_CERT_AUX, as are produced
       by PEM_read_bio_X509_AUX() and similar routines that refer to X509_AUX.  The public
       interfaces that operate on such trusted certificates still operate on pointers to X509
       objects, though.

       X509_STORE_add_cert() and X509_STORE_add_crl() add the respective object to the
       X509_STORE's local storage.  Untrusted objects should not be added in this way.  The added
       object's reference count is incremented by one, hence the caller retains ownership of the
       object and needs to free it when it is no longer needed.

       X509_STORE_set_depth(), X509_STORE_set_flags(), X509_STORE_set_purpose(),
       X509_STORE_set_trust(), and X509_STORE_set1_param() set the default values for the
       corresponding values used in certificate chain validation.  Their behavior is documented
       in the corresponding X509_VERIFY_PARAM manual pages, e.g., X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_depth(3).

       X509_STORE_add_lookup() finds or creates a X509_LOOKUP(3) with the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3)
       meth and adds it to the X509_STORE store.  This also associates the X509_STORE with the
       lookup, so X509_LOOKUP functions can look up objects in that store.

       X509_STORE_load_file_ex() loads trusted certificate(s) into an X509_STORE from a given
       file. The library context libctx and property query propq are used when fetching
       algorithms from providers.

       X509_STORE_load_file() is similar to X509_STORE_load_file_ex() but uses NULL for the
       library context libctx and property query propq.

       X509_STORE_load_path() loads trusted certificate(s) into an X509_STORE from a given
       directory path.  The certificates in the directory must be in hashed form, as documented
       in X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir(3).

       X509_STORE_load_store_ex() loads trusted certificate(s) into an X509_STORE from a store at
       a given URI. The library context libctx and property query propq are used when fetching
       algorithms from providers.

       X509_STORE_load_store() is similar to X509_STORE_load_store_ex() but uses NULL for the
       library context libctx and property query propq.

       X509_STORE_load_locations_ex() combines X509_STORE_load_file_ex() and
       X509_STORE_load_dir() for a given file and/or directory path.  It is permitted to specify
       just a file, just a directory, or both paths.

       X509_STORE_load_locations() is similar to X509_STORE_load_locations_ex() but uses NULL for
       the library context libctx and property query propq.

       X509_STORE_set_default_paths_ex() is somewhat misnamed, in that it does not set what
       default paths should be used for loading certificates.  Instead, it loads certificates
       into the X509_STORE from the hardcoded default paths. The library context libctx and
       property query propq are used when fetching algorithms from providers.

       X509_STORE_set_default_paths() is similar to X509_STORE_set_default_paths_ex() but uses
       NULL for the library context libctx and property query propq.

RETURN VALUES

       X509_STORE_add_cert(), X509_STORE_add_crl(), X509_STORE_set_depth(),
       X509_STORE_set_flags(), X509_STORE_set_purpose(), X509_STORE_set_trust(),
       X509_STORE_load_file_ex(), X509_STORE_load_file(), X509_STORE_load_path(),
       X509_STORE_load_store_ex(), X509_STORE_load_store(), X509_STORE_load_locations_ex(),
       X509_STORE_load_locations(), X509_STORE_set_default_paths_ex() and
       X509_STORE_set_default_paths() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.

       X509_STORE_add_lookup() returns the found or created X509_LOOKUP(3), or NULL on error.
