| 4 | ||
| 5 | X509_check_ca - check if given certificate is CA certificate | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | #include <openssl/x509v3.h> | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | int X509_check_ca(X509 *cert); | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | This function checks if given certificate is CA certificate (can be used | |
| 16 | to sign other certificates). | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | =head1 RETURN VALUE | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | Function return 0, if it is not CA certificate, 1 if it is proper X509v3 | |
| 21 | CA certificate with B<basicConstraints> extension CA:TRUE, | |
| 22 | 3, if it is selfsigned X509 v1 certificate, 4, if it is certificate with | |
| 23 | B<keyUsage> extension with bit B<keyCertSign> set, but without | |
| 24 | B<basicConstraints>, and 5 if it has outdated Netscape Certificate Type | |
| 25 | extension telling that it is CA certificate. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | Actually, any non-zero value means that this certificate could have been | |
| 28 | used to sign other certificates. | |
