- \&=head1 DESCRIPTION
- .Ve
- .PP
- This is the OpenSSL API for doing CMP (Certificate Management Protocol)
- client-server transactions, i.e., sequences of CMP requests and responses.
- .PP
- All functions take a populated OSSL_CMP_CTX structure as their first argument.
- Usually the server name, port, and path ("CMP alias") need to be set, as well as
- credentials the client can use for authenticating itself to the server.
- In order to authenticate the server the client typically needs a trust store.
- The functions return their respective main results directly, while there are
- also accessor functions for retrieving various results and status information
- from the \fIctx\fR. See \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_new\fR\|(3) etc. for details.
- .PP
- The default conveying protocol is HTTP.
- Timeout values may be given per request-response pair and per transaction.
- See \fBOSSL_CMP_MSG_http_perform\fR\|(3) for details.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_IR_ses()\fR requests an initial certificate from the given PKI.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_CR_ses()\fR requests an additional certificate.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_P10CR_ses()\fR conveys a legacy PKCS#10 CSR requesting a certificate.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_KUR_ses()\fR obtains an updated certificate.
- .PP
- These four types of certificate enrollment are implemented as macros
- calling \fBOSSL_CMP_exec_certreq()\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_certreq()\fR performs a certificate request of the type specified
- by the \fIreq_type\fR parameter, which may be IR, CR, P10CR, or KUR.
- For IR, CR, and KUR, the certificate template to be used in the request
- may be supplied via the \fIcrm\fR parameter pointing to a CRMF structure.
- Typically \fIcrm\fR is NULL, then the template ingredients are taken from \fIctx\fR
- and need to be filled in using \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_subjectName\fR\|(3),
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set0_newPkey\fR\|(3), \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_oldCert\fR\|(3), etc.
- For P10CR, \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_p10CSR\fR\|(3) needs to be used instead.
- The enrollment session may be blocked (with polling and sleeping in between)
- until the server side can fully process and ultimately answer the request.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_try_certreq()\fR is an alternative to the above functions that is
- more flexible regarding what to do after receiving a checkAfter value.
- When called for the first time (with no certificate request in progress for
- the given \fIctx\fR) it starts a new transaction by sending a certificate request
- constructed as stated above using the \fIreq_type\fR and optional \fIcrm\fR parameter.
- Otherwise (when according to \fIctx\fR a 'waiting' status has been received before)
- it continues polling for the pending request
- unless the \fIreq_type\fR argument is < 0, which aborts the request.
- If the requested certificate is available the function returns 1 and the
- caller can use \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_get0_newCert\fR\|(3) to retrieve the new certificate.
- If no error occurred but no certificate is available yet then
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_try_certreq()\fR remembers in the CMP context that it should be retried
- and returns \-1 after assigning the received checkAfter value
- via the output pointer argument (unless it is NULL).
- The checkAfter value indicates the number of seconds the caller should let pass
- before trying again. The caller is free to sleep for the given number of seconds
- or for some other time and/or to do anything else before retrying by calling
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_try_certreq()\fR again with the same parameter values as before.
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_try_certreq()\fR then polls
- to see whether meanwhile the requested certificate is available.
- If the caller decides to abort the pending certificate request and provides
- a negative value as the \fIreq_type\fR argument then \fBOSSL_CMP_try_certreq()\fR
- aborts the CMP transaction by sending an error message to the server.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_RR_ses()\fR requests the revocation of the certificate
- specified in the \fIctx\fR using the issuer DN and serial number set by
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_issuer\fR\|(3) and \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_serialNumber\fR\|(3), respectively,
- otherwise the issuer DN and serial number
- of the certificate set by \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_oldCert\fR\|(3),
- otherwise the subject DN and public key
- of the certificate signing request set by \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_p10CSR\fR\|(3).
- RFC 4210 is vague in which PKIStatus should be returned by the server.
- We take "accepted" and "grantedWithMods" as clear success and handle
- "revocationWarning" and "revocationNotification" just as warnings because CAs
- typically return them as an indication that the certificate was already revoked.
- "rejection" is a clear error. The values "waiting" and "keyUpdateWarning"
- make no sense for revocation and thus are treated as an error as well.
- The revocation session may be blocked (with polling and sleeping in between)
- until the server can fully process and ultimately answer the request.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_GENM_ses()\fR sends a genm general message containing the sequence of
- infoType and infoValue pairs (InfoTypeAndValue; short: \fBITAV\fR)
- optionally provided in the \fIctx\fR using \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_push0_genm_ITAV\fR\|(3).
- The message exchange may be blocked (with polling and sleeping in between)
- until the server can fully process and ultimately answer the request.
- On success the function records in \fIctx\fR status \fBOSSL_CMP_PKISTATUS_accepted\fR
- and returns the list of \fBITAV\fRs received in a genp response message.
- This can be used, for instance,
- with infoType \f(CW\*(C`signKeyPairTypes\*(C'\fR to obtain the set of signature
- algorithm identifiers that the CA will certify for subject public keys.
- See RFC 4210 section 5.3.19 and appendix E.5 for details.
- Functions implementing more specific genm/genp exchanges are described next.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_get1_caCerts()\fR uses a genm/genp message exchange with infoType caCerts
- to obtain a list of CA certificates from the CMP server referenced by \fIctx\fR.
- On success it assigns to \fI*out\fR the list of certificates received,
- which must be freed by the caller.
- NULL output means that no CA certificates were provided by the server.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_get1_rootCaKeyUpdate()\fR uses a genm request message
- with infoType rootCaCert to obtain from the CMP server referenced by \fIctx\fR
- in a genp response message with infoType rootCaKeyUpdate any update of the
- given root CA certificate \fIoldWithOld\fR and verifies it as far as possible.
- See RFC 4210 section 4.4 for details.
- On success it assigns to \fI*newWithNew\fR the root certificate received.
- When the \fInewWithOld\fR and \fIoldWithNew\fR output parameters are not NULL,
- it assigns to them the corresponding transition certificates.
- NULL means that the respective certificate was not provided by the server.
- All certificates obtained this way must be freed by the caller.
- .PP
- \&\fBWARNING:\fR
- The \fInewWithNew\fR certificate is meant to be a certificate that will be trusted.
- The trust placed in it cannot be stronger than the trust placed in
- the \fIoldwithold\fR certificate if present, otherwise it cannot be stronger than
- the weakest trust in any of the certificates in the trust store of \fIctx\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_get1_crlUpdate()\fR uses a genm request message with infoType crlStatusList
- to obtain CRL from the CMP server referenced by \fIctx\fR in a genp response message
- with infoType crls. It uses \fIlast_crl\fR and \fIcrlcert\fR to create
- a request with a status field as described for \fBOSSL_CMP_CRLSTATUS_create\fR\|(3).
- On success it assigns to \fI*crl\fR the CRL received.
- NULL means that no CRL was provided by the server.
- The CRL obtained this way must be freed by the caller.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_get1_certReqTemplate()\fR uses a genm request message with
- infoType certReqTemplate to obtain a certificate request template from the
- CMP server referenced by \fIctx\fR. On success it assigns to \fI*certTemplate\fR
- the certificate template received. NULL output means that no certificate
- request template was provided by the server.
- The optional \fIkeySpec\fR output parameter is assigned the key specification
- if received, otherwise it set to NULL.
- Both must be freed by the caller.
- .SH NOTES
- .IX Header "NOTES"
- CMP is defined in RFC 4210 (and CRMF in RFC 4211).
- .PP
- The CMP client implementation is limited to one request per CMP message
- (and consequently to at most one response component per CMP message).
- .PP
- When a client obtains from a CMP server CA certificates that it is going to
- trust, for instance via the caPubs field of a certificate response or using
- functions like \fBOSSL_CMP_get1_caCerts()\fR and \fBOSSL_CMP_get1_rootCaKeyUpdate()\fR,
- authentication of the CMP server is particularly critical.
- So special care must be taken setting up server authentication in \fIctx\fR
- using functions such as
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set0_trusted\fR\|(3) (for certificate-based authentication) or
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_secretValue\fR\|(3) (for MAC-based protection).
- If authentication is certificate-based, \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_get0_validatedSrvCert\fR\|(3)
- should be used to obtain the server validated certificate
- and perform an authorization check based on it.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_certreq()\fR, \fBOSSL_CMP_exec_IR_ses()\fR, \fBOSSL_CMP_exec_CR_ses()\fR,
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_P10CR_ses()\fR, and \fBOSSL_CMP_exec_KUR_ses()\fR return a
- pointer to the newly obtained X509 certificate on success, NULL on error.
- This pointer will be freed implicitly by \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_free()\fR or
- \&\fBCSSL_CMP_CTX_reinit()\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_try_certreq()\fR returns 1 if the requested certificate is available
- via \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_get0_newCert\fR\|(3)
- or on successfully aborting a pending certificate request, 0 on error, and \-1
- in case a 'waiting' status has been received and checkAfter value is available.
- In the latter case \fBOSSL_CMP_CTX_get0_newCert\fR\|(3) yields NULL
- and the output parameter \fIcheckAfter\fR has been used to
- assign the received value unless \fIcheckAfter\fR is NULL.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_RR_ses()\fR, \fBOSSL_CMP_get1_caCerts()\fR,
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_get1_rootCaKeyUpdate()\fR, \fBOSSL_CMP_get1_crlUpdate()\fR
- and \fBOSSL_CMP_get1_certReqTemplate()\fR
- return 1 on success, 0 on error.
- .PP
- \&\fBOSSL_CMP_exec_GENM_ses()\fR returns NULL on error,
- otherwise a pointer to the sequence of \fBITAV\fR received, which may be empty.
- This pointer must be freed by the caller.
