  26. .SH NAME
  27. CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT \- issuer SSL certificate filename
  28. .SH SYNOPSIS
  29. .nf
  30. #include <curl/curl.h>
  31. CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, char *file);
  32. .fi
  33. .SH DESCRIPTION
  34. Pass a char * to a null-terminated string naming a \fIfile\fP holding a CA
  35. certificate in PEM format. If the option is set, an additional check against
  36. the peer certificate is performed to verify the issuer is indeed the one
  37. associated with the certificate provided by the option. This additional check
  38. is useful in multi-level PKI where one needs to enforce that the peer
  39. certificate is from a specific branch of the tree.
  40. This option makes sense only when used in combination with the
  41. \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP option. Otherwise, the result of the check is
  42. not considered as failure.
  43. A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the option,
  44. which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has failed due to a
  45. mismatch with the issuer of peer certificate (\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP
  46. has to be set too for the check to fail). (Added in 7.19.0)
  47. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
  48. option.
  49. .SH DEFAULT
  50. NULL
  51. .SH PROTOCOLS
  52. All TLS-based protocols
  53. .SH EXAMPLE
  54. .nf
  55. CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  56. if(curl) {
  57. curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
  58. curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, "/etc/certs/cacert.pem");
  59. ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  60. curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  61. }
  62. .fi
  63. .SH AVAILABILITY
  64. If built TLS enabled
  65. .SH RETURN VALUE
  66. Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
  67. CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
