  24. .SH NAME
  25. CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT \- issuer SSL certificate filename
  26. .SH SYNOPSIS
  27. #include <curl/curl.h>
  28. CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, char *file);
  29. .SH DESCRIPTION
  30. Pass a char * to a zero terminated string naming a \fIfile\fP holding a CA
  31. certificate in PEM format. If the option is set, an additional check against
  32. the peer certificate is performed to verify the issuer is indeed the one
  33. associated with the certificate provided by the option. This additional check
  34. is useful in multi-level PKI where one needs to enforce that the peer
  35. certificate is from a specific branch of the tree.
  36. This option makes sense only when used in combination with the
  37. \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP option. Otherwise, the result of the check is
  38. not considered as failure.
  39. A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the option,
  40. which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has failed due to a
  41. mismatch with the issuer of peer certificate (\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP
  42. has to be set too for the check to fail). (Added in 7.19.0)
  43. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
  44. option.
  45. .SH DEFAULT
  46. NULL
  47. .SH PROTOCOLS
  48. All TLS-based protocols
  49. .SH EXAMPLE

  53. curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
  54. curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, "/etc/certs/cacert.pem");
  55. ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

  59. .SH AVAILABILITY
  60. If built TLS enabled
  61. .SH RETURN VALUE
  62. Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
  63. CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
