5 SSL_get_peer_cert_chain - get the X509 certificate chain of the peer
9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
11 STACKOF(X509) *SSL_get_peer_cert_chain(const SSL *ssl);
15 SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() returns a pointer to STACKOF(X509) certificates
16 forming the certificate chain of the peer. If called on the client side,
17 the stack also contains the peer's certificate; if called on the server
18 side, the peer's certificate must be obtained separately using
19 L<SSL_get_peer_certificate(3)|SSL_get_peer_certificate(3)>.
20 If the peer did not present a certificate, NULL is returned.
24 The peer certificate chain is not necessarily available after reusing
25 a session, in which case a NULL pointer is returned.
27 The reference count of the STACKOF(X509) object is not incremented.
28 If the corresponding session is freed, the pointer must not be used
33 The following return values can occur:
39 No certificate was presented by the peer or no connection was established
40 or the certificate chain is no longer available when a session is reused.
42 =item Pointer to a STACKOF(X509)
44 The return value points to the certificate chain presented by the peer.
