If another .Vt X509_STORE object is currently set in .Fa ctx , it will be freed. .Pp .Fn SSL_CTX_get_cert_store returns a pointer to the current certificate verification storage. .Pp In order to verify the certificates presented by the peer, trusted CA certificates must be accessed. These CA certificates are made available via lookup methods, handled inside the .Vt X509_STORE . From the .Vt X509_STORE the .Vt X509_STORE_CTX used when verifying certificates is created. .Pp Typically the trusted certificate store is handled indirectly via using .Xr SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations 3 . Using the .Fn SSL_CTX_set_cert_store and .Fn SSL_CTX_get_cert_store functions it is possible to manipulate the .Vt X509_STORE object beyond the .Xr SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations 3 call. .Pp Currently no detailed documentation on how to use the .Vt X509_STORE object is available. Not all members of the .Vt X509_STORE are used when the verification takes place. So will, for example, the .Fn verify_callback be overridden with the .Fn verify_callback set via the .Xr SSL_CTX_set_verify 3 family of functions. This document must therefore be updated when documentation about the .Vt X509_STORE object and its handling becomes available. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn SSL_CTX_get_cert_store returns the current setting. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ssl 3 , .Xr SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations 3 , .Xr SSL_CTX_set_verify 3 , .Xr X509_STORE_new 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn SSL_CTX_set_cert_store and .Fn SSL_CTX_get_cert_store first appeared in SSLeay 0.8.1 and have been available since .Ox 2.4 .
