IPv4 addresses are accepted by this function in the dotted-decimal

x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x format. For them the IPAddress subject alternative
name extension is consulted, as well as the DNSNames in case of a non-match.
The latter fallback exists due to misconfiguration of many servers
which place an IPAddress inside the DNSName extension.

When the flag @code{GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_WILDCARDS}  is specified no
wildcards are considered. Otherwise they are only considered if the

@var{crt}: Holds the certificate

@var{seq}: specifies the sequence number of the access descriptor (0 for the first one, 1 for the second etc.)

@var{what}: what data to get, a @code{gnutls_info_access_what_t}  type.

@var{data}: output data to be freed with @code{gnutls_free()} .

@var{critical}: pointer to output integer that is set to non-zero if the extension is marked as critical (may be @code{NULL} )

Note that a simpler API to access the authority info data is provided
by @code{gnutls_x509_aia_get()}  and @code{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  @code{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  @code{seq} value is out of bounds,
@code{GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE}  is returned.

The type of data returned in  @code{data} is specified via  @code{what} which
should be @code{gnutls_info_access_what_t}  values.

If  @code{what} is @code{GNUTLS_IA_ACCESSMETHOD_OID}  then  @code{data} will hold the
accessMethod OID (e.g., "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1").

If  @code{what} is @code{GNUTLS_IA_ACCESSLOCATION_GENERALNAME_TYPE} ,  @code{data} will
hold the accessLocation GeneralName type (e.g.,
"uniformResourceIdentifier").

If  @code{what} is @code{GNUTLS_IA_URI} ,  @code{data} will hold the accessLocation URI
data.  Requesting this  @code{what} value leads to an error if the
accessLocation is not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type. 

If  @code{what} is @code{GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI} ,  @code{data} will hold the OCSP URI.
Requesting this  @code{what} value leads to an error if the accessMethod
is not 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1 aka OSCP, or if accessLocation is not of
the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type. In that case @code{GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM} 
will be returned, and  @code{seq} should be increased and this function
called again.

If  @code{what} is @code{GNUTLS_IA_CAISSUERS_URI} ,  @code{data} will hold the caIssuers
URI.  Requesting this  @code{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 @code{GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI} .

More  @code{what} values may be allocated in the future as needed.

If  @code{data} is NULL, the function does the same without storing the
output data, that is, it will set  @code{critical} and do error checking
as usual.

The value of the critical flag is returned in * @code{critical} .  Supply a
NULL  @code{critical} if you want the function to make sure the extension
is non-critical, as required by RFC 5280.

@strong{Returns:} @code{GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS}  on success, @code{GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST}  on
invalid  @code{crt} , @code{GNUTLS_E_CONSTRAINT_ERROR}  if the extension is
incorrectly marked as critical (use a non-NULL  @code{critical} to
override), @code{GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM}  if the requested OID does
not match (e.g., when using @code{GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI} ), otherwise a

When the SAN type is otherName, it will extract the data in the
otherName's value field, and @code{GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME}  is returned.

When the SAN type is otherName, it will extract the data in the
otherName's value field, and @code{GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME}  is returned.
You may use @code{gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid()}  to get
the corresponding OID and the "virtual" SAN types (e.g.,

recognized.

the type as an enumerated element.

This function is only useful if
@code{gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name()}  returned

If  @code{oid} is null then only the size will be filled. The  @code{oid} returned will be null terminated, although  @code{oid_size} will not
account for the trailing null.

@strong{Returns:} the alternative subject name type on success, one of the

 @code{ian_size} will be updated with the required size.  If the

This function will extract the subjectUniqueID value (if present) for
the given certificate.

If the user allocated memory buffer is not large enough to hold the
full subjectUniqueID, then a GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER error will be
returned, and buf_size will be set to the actual length.

This function had a bug prior to 3.4.8 that prevented the setting
of @code{NULL}   @code{buf} to discover the  @code{buf_size} . To use this function safely
with the older versions the  @code{buf} must be a valid buffer that can hold

The X.509 distinguished name is a sequence of sequences of strings
and this is what the  @code{irdn} and  @code{iava} indexes model.

Note that  @code{ava} will contain pointers into the  @code{dn} structure which

This function will inform about known DN OIDs. This is useful since
functions like @code{gnutls_x509_crt_set_dn_by_oid()}  use the information
on known OIDs to properly encode their input. Object Identifiers
that are not known are not encoded by these functions, and their

@var{flags}: zero or @code{GNUTLS_NAME_CONSTRAINTS_FLAG_APPEND} 

This function will return an intermediate type containing
the name constraints of the provided NameConstraints extension. That

to verify whether a server's name is in accordance with the constraints.

When the  @code{flags} is set to @code{GNUTLS_NAME_CONSTRAINTS_FLAG_APPEND} , then if 
the  @code{nc} type is empty this function will behave identically as if the flag was not set.
Otherwise if there are elements in the  @code{nc} type then only the

This function will export the private key to a PKCS8 structure.
Both RSA and DSA keys can be exported. For DSA keys we use
PKCS @code{11}  definitions. If the flags do not specify the encryption
cipher, then the default 3DES (PBES2) will be used.

The  @code{password} can be either ASCII or UTF-8 in the default PBES2
encryption schemas, or ASCII for the PKCS12 schemas.

If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output, then
*output_data_size is updated and GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will
be returned.

If the structure is PEM encoded, it will have a header
of "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY" or "BEGIN PRIVATE KEY" if
encryption is not used.

@strong{Returns:} In case of failure a negative error code will be
returned, and 0 on success.

This function will add the given certificate to the trusted

be used for verification with @code{gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_crt()} 
but with @code{gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_named_crt()}  or

In principle this function can be used to set individual "server"
certificates that are trusted by the user for that specific server
but for no other purposes.

The former accepts as data a null-terminated hostname, and the latter a null-terminated

If a DNS hostname is provided then this function will compare
the hostname in the certificate against the given. If names do not match the 
@code{GNUTLS_CERT_UNEXPECTED_OWNER}  status flag will be set. In addition it
will consider certificates provided with @code{gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_named_crt()} .

If a key purpose OID is provided and the end-certificate contains the extended key
usage PKIX extension, it will be required to match the provided OID
or be marked for any purpose, otherwise verification will fail with 
@code{GNUTLS_CERT_PURPOSE_MISMATCH}  status.

@strong{Returns:} On success, @code{GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS}  (0) is returned, otherwise a
