Function Documentation

   globus_result_t globus_gsi_cred_get_cert_type (globus_gsi_cred_handle_t handle,
       globus_gsi_cert_utils_cert_type_t * type)
       Get the X.509 certificate type. Determine the type of the given X509 certificate For the
       list of possible values returned, see globus_gsi_cert_utils_cert_type_t.

       Parameters
           handle The credential handle containing the certificate
           type The returned X509 certificate type

       Returns
           GLOBUS_SUCCESS or an error captured in a globus_result_t

   globus_result_t globus_gsi_cred_read (globus_gsi_cred_handle_t handle, X509_NAME *
       desired_subject)
       Read a credential. Read a credential from a filesystem location. The credential to read
       will be determined by the search order specified in the handle attributes.

       Parameters
           handle The credential handle to set. This credential handle should already be
           initialized using globus_gsi_cred_handle_init.
           desired_subject The subject to check for when reading in a credential. The
           desired_subject should be either a exact match of the read cert's subject or should
           just contain the /CN entry. If null, the credential read in is the first match based
           on the system configuration (paths and environment variables)

       Returns
           GLOBUS_SUCCESS if no errors occurred, otherwise, an error object identifier is
           returned.

       Note
           This function always searches for the desired credential. If you don't want to perform
           a search, then don't use this function. The search goes in the order of the handle
           attributes' search order.

   globus_result_t globus_gsi_cred_read_cert (globus_gsi_cred_handle_t handle, const char *

       Read a certificate chain from a file. Read a cert from a file. Cert should be in PEM
       format. Will also read additional certificates as chain if present.

       Parameters
           handle the handle to set based on the certificate that is read
           cert_filename the filename of the certificate to read

       Returns
           GLOBUS_SUCCESS or an error object identifier

   globus_result_t globus_gsi_cred_read_cert_bio (globus_gsi_cred_handle_t handle, BIO * bio)
       Read a certificate chain from a BIO. Read a cert from a BIO. Cert should be in PEM format.
       Will also read additional certificates as chain if present.

       Parameters
           handle the handle to set based on the certificate that is read
           bio the bio to read the certificate from

       Returns
           GLOBUS_SUCCESS or an error object identifier

   globus_result_t globus_gsi_cred_read_cert_buffer (const char * pem_buf,
       globus_gsi_cred_handle_t * out_handle, X509 ** out_cert, STACK_OF(X509) ** out_cert_chain,
       char ** out_subject)
       Read certificate chain from a buffer. Read a cert from a buffer. Cert should be in PEM
       format. Will also read additional certificates as chain if present. Any parameter besides
       pem_buf may be NULL.

       Parameters
           pem_buf The buffer containing the PEM formatted cert and chain.
           out_handle The handle to initialize and set cert on.
           out_cert The X509 certificate. This should be freed with X509_free().
           out_cert_chain The X509 certificate chain. This should be freed with sk_X509_free().
           out_subject The identity name of the cert. This should be freed with OPENSSL_free().

       Parameters
           handle The credential to write out
           bio The BIO stream to write out to

       proxy_filename)
       Write a proxy credential. Write out a credential to a file. The credential parameters
       written, in order, are the signed certificate, the RSA private key, and the certificate
       chain (a set of X509 certificates). the credential is written out in PEM format.
