globus_result_t globus_gsi_proxy_assemble_cred (globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t handle, globus_gsi_cred_handle_t *proxy_credential, BIO *input_bio)
Detailed Description
Initiate a proxy operation.
This module contains the API functions for a user to request proxy request generation, proxy request inspection and proxy request signature.
Function Documentation
globus_result_t globus_gsi_proxy_create_req (globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t handle, BIO * output_bio)
Create a proxy credential request. This function creates a proxy credential request, ie. a unsigned certificate and the corresponding private key, based on the handle that is passed in. The public part of the request is written to the BIO supplied in the output_bio parameter. After the request is written, the PROXYCERTINFO extension contained in the handle is written to the BIO. The proxy handle is updated with the private key.
Parameters:
handle A GSI Proxy handle to use for the request operation.
output_bio A BIO to write the resulting request structure to.
Returns:
GLOBUS_SUCCESS unless an error occurred, in which case, a globus error object ID is returned
globus_result_t globus_gsi_proxy_inquire_req (globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t handle, BIO * input_bio)
Inquire a proxy credential request. This function reads the public part of a proxy credential request from input_bio and if the request contains a ProxyCertInfo extension, updates the handle with the information contained in the extension.
Parameters:
handle A GSI Proxy handle to use for the inquire operation.
input_bio A BIO to read a request structure from.
Returns:
GLOBUS_SUCCESS unless an error occurred, in which case, a globus error object ID is returned
Resign a existing certificate into a proxy. This function use the public key in a existing certificate to create a new proxy certificate chained to the issuers credentials. This operation will add a ProxyCertInfo extension to the proxy certificate if values contained in the extension are specified in the handle.
Parameters:
handle A GSI Proxy handle to use for the signing operation.
issuer_credential The credential structure to be used for signing the proxy certificate.
peer_credential The credential structure that contains the certificate to be resigned.
resigned_credential A credential structure that upon return will contain the resigned certificate and associated certificate chain.
Returns:
GLOBUS_SUCCESS unless an error occurred, in which case, a globus error object ID is returned
globus_result_t globus_gsi_proxy_sign_req (globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t handle, globus_gsi_cred_handle_t issuer_credential, BIO * output_bio)
Sign a proxy certificate request. This function signs the public part of a proxy credential request, i.e. the unsigned certificate, previously read by inquire req using the supplied issuer_credential. This operation will add a ProxyCertInfo extension to the proxy certificate if values contained in the extension are specified in the handle. The resulting signed certificate is written to the output_bio.
Parameters:
handle A GSI Proxy handle to use for the signing operation.
issuer_credential The credential structure to be used for signing the proxy certificate.
output_bio A BIO to write the resulting certificate to.
Returns:
GLOBUS_SUCCESS unless an error occurred, in which case, a globus error object ID is returned
handle The proxy handle used to create and sign the proxy certificate
issuer The issuing credential, used for signing the proxy certificate
proxy_credential The new proxy credential, containing the signed cert, private key, etc.
Returns:
GLOBUS_SUCCESS if no error occurred, an error object ID otherwise
globus_result_t globus_gsi_proxy_assemble_cred (globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t handle, globus_gsi_cred_handle_t * proxy_credential, BIO * input_bio)
Assemble a proxy credential. This function assembles a proxy credential. It reads a signed proxy certificate and a associated certificate chain from the input_bio and combines them with a private key previously generated by a call to globus_gsi_proxy_create_req. The resulting credential is then returned through the proxy_credential parameter.
Parameters:
handle A GSI Proxy handle to use for the assemble operation.
proxy_credential This parameter will contain the assembled credential upon successful return.
input_bio A BIO to read a signed certificate and corresponding certificate chain from.
Returns:
GLOBUS_SUCCESS if no error occurred, an error object ID otherwise
