The certificates in the directories must be in hashed form, as documented in .Xr X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir 3 . Directories already in use are not added again. If .Dv NULL is passed for .Fa file or .Fa dirs , no new file or no new directories are added, respectively. .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_load_locations is identical to .Xr SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations 3 except that it operates directly on an .Vt X509_STORE object, rather than on the store used by an SSL context. See that manual page for more information. .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_set_default_paths is similar except that it instructs the .Fa store to use the default PEM file and directory (as documented in .Sx FILES ) in addition to what is already configured. It ignores errors that occur while trying to load the file or to add the directory, but it may still fail for other reasons, for example when out of memory while trying to allocate the required .Vt X509_LOOKUP objects. .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_set_default_paths is identical to .Xr SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths 3 except that it operates directly on an .Vt X509_STORE object, rather than on the store used by an SSL context. See that manual page for more information. .Pp The above functions are wrappers around .Xr X509_LOOKUP_load_file 3 and .Xr X509_LOOKUP_add_dir 3 . .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_load_mem instructs the .Fa store to use the certificates contained in the memory .Fa buffer of the given .Fa length for certificate lookup. It is a wrapper around .Xr X509_LOOKUP_add_mem 3 . .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_add_lookup checks whether the .Fa store already contains an .Vt X509_LOOKUP object using the given .Fa method ; if it does, the existing object is returned and no other action occurs. Otherwise, a new .Vt X509_LOOKUP object is allocated, added, and returned. This function is used internally by all the functions listed above. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn X509_STORE_load_locations returns 1 if all files and directories specified were successfully added. It returns 0 for failure. That can happen if adding the file failed, if adding any of the directories failed, or if both arguments were .Dv NULL . .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_set_default_paths returns 0 for some error conditions and 1 otherwise, not just for success, but also for various cases of failure. .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_load_mem returns 1 for success or 0 for failure. In particular, parse errors or lack of memory can cause failure. .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_add_lookup returns the existing or new lookup object or .Dv NULL on failure. This is an internal pointer that must not be freed. With LibreSSL, the only reason for failure is lack of memory. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Pa /etc/ssl/cert.pem default PEM file for .Fn X509_STORE_set_default_paths .It Pa /etc/ssl/certs/ default directory for .Fn X509_STORE_set_default_paths .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations 3 , .Xr X509_load_cert_file 3 , .Xr X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir 3 , .Xr X509_LOOKUP_new 3 , .Xr X509_STORE_new 3 , .Xr X509_STORE_set1_param 3 , .Xr X509_STORE_set_verify_cb 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn X509_STORE_load_locations , .Fn X509_STORE_set_default_paths , and .Fn X509_STORE_add_lookup first appeared in SSLeay 0.8.0 and have been available since .Ox 2.4 . .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_load_mem first appeared in .Ox 5.7 . .Sh BUGS By the time that adding a directory is found to have failed, the file and some other directories may already have been successfully loaded, so these functions may change the state of the store even when they fail. .Pp .Fn X509_STORE_set_default_paths clears the error queue, deleting even error information that was already present when it was called.
