NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_get_authority_info_access - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_x509_crt_get_authority_info_access(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, unsigned int seq, int what,
gnutls_datum_t * data, unsigned int * critical);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_x509_crt_t crt
Holds the certificate
unsigned int seq
specifies the sequence number of the access descriptor (0 for the first one, 1 for the second
etc.)
int what what data to get, a gnutls_info_access_what_t type.
gnutls_datum_t * data
output data to be freed with gnutls_free().
unsigned int * critical
pointer to output integer that is set to non-zero if the extension is marked as critical (may
be NULL)
DESCRIPTION
Note that a simpler API to access the authority info data is provided by gnutls_x509_aia_get() and
gnutls_x509_ext_import_aia().
This function extracts the Authority Information Access (AIA) extension, see RFC 5280 section 4.2.2.1 for
more information. The AIA extension holds a sequence of AccessDescription (AD) data.
The seq input parameter is used to indicate which member of the sequence the caller is interested in.
The first member is 0, the second member 1 and so on. When the seq value is out of bounds,
GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.
The type of data returned in data is specified via what which should be gnutls_info_access_what_t
values.
If what is GNUTLS_IA_ACCESSMETHOD_OID then data will hold the accessMethod OID (e.g.,
"1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1").
If what is GNUTLS_IA_ACCESSLOCATION_GENERALNAME_TYPE, data will hold the accessLocation GeneralName
type (e.g., "uniformResourceIdentifier").
If what is GNUTLS_IA_URI, data will hold the accessLocation URI data. Requesting this what value
leads to an error if the accessLocation is not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type.
If what is GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI, data will hold the OCSP URI. Requesting this what value leads to an
error if the accessMethod is not 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1 aka OCSP, or if accessLocation is not of the
"uniformResourceIdentifier" type. In that case GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM will be returned, and seq
should be increased and this function called again.
If what is GNUTLS_IA_CAISSUERS_URI, data will hold the caIssuers URI. Requesting this what value
leads to an error if the accessMethod is not 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2 aka caIssuers, or if accessLocation is
not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type. In that case handle as in GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI.
More what values may be allocated in the future as needed.
If data is NULL, the function does the same without storing the output data, that is, it will set
critical and do error checking as usual.
The value of the critical flag is returned in * critical . Supply a NULL critical if you want the
function to make sure the extension is non-critical, as required by RFC 5280.
RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST on invalid crt , GNUTLS_E_CONSTRAINT_ERROR if the
extension is incorrectly marked as critical (use a non-NULL critical to override),
GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM if the requested OID does not match (e.g., when using GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI),
otherwise a negative error code.
