16
2fd7fb99
DSH
17SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() adds the certificate B<x509> to the extra chain
18certificates associated with B<ctx>. Several certificates can be added one
19after another.
20
21SSL_CTX_clear_extra_chain_certs() clears all extra chain certificates
22associated with B<ctx>.
23
24These functions are implemented as macros.

26=head1 NOTES
27
2fd7fb99
DSH
28When sending a certificate chain, extra chain certificates are sent in order
29following the end entity certificate.
30
31If no chain is specified, the library will try to complete the chain from the
32available CA certificates in the trusted CA storage, see
9b86974e 33L<SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)>.
66ebbb6a 34
2fd7fb99
DSH
35The B<x509> certificate provided to SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() will be
36freed by the library when the B<SSL_CTX> is destroyed. An application
37B<should not> free the B<x509> object.

39=head1 RESTRICTIONS
40
41Only one set of extra chain certificates can be specified per SSL_CTX
42structure. Different chains for different certificates (for example if both
43RSA and DSA certificates are specified by the same server) or different SSL
44structures with the same parent SSL_CTX cannot be specified using this
45function. For more flexibility functions such as SSL_add1_chain_cert() should
46be used instead.
