SSL_CTX_set_purpose(3)SSL_CTX_set_purpose(3)NAMESSL_CTX_set_purpose - Set a purpose value to the SSL_CTX structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h> #include <openssl/x509v3.h>(to use the macros
for purpose values)
int SSL_CTX_set_purpose(
SSL_CTX *s,
int purpose );
DESCRIPTION
The SSL_CTX_set_purpose() function sets a purpose value in the SSL_CTX
structure. The purpose values and their macros are defined in x509v3.h
as follows: #define X509_PURPOSE_SSL_CLIENT 1 #define X509_PUR‐
POSE_SSL_SERVER 2 #define X509_PURPOSE_NS_SSL_SERVER 3 #define
X509_PURPOSE_SMIME_SIGN 4 #define X509_PURPOSE_SMIME_ENCRYPT 5 #define
X509_PURPOSE_CRL_SIGN 6 #define X509_PURPOSE_ANY 7
The purpose value must be between 1 and 7. If an out-of-range value is
passed, the SSL_CTX_set_purpose() function returns 0. Upon success, 1
is returned.
RETURN VALUES
The following return values can occur: Seting the purpose value in the
SSL_CTX structure was failed. The purpose value was successfully set
in the SSL_CTX structure.
