.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBX509V3_set_ctx()\fR fills in the basic fields of \fIctx\fR of type \fBX509V3_CTX\fR,
providing details potentially needed by functions producing X509 v3 extensions.
These may make use of fields of the certificate \fIsubject\fR, the certification
request \fIreq\fR, or the certificate revocation list \fIcrl\fR.
At most one of these three parameters can be non-NULL.
When constructing the subject key identifier of a certificate by computing a
hash value of its public key, the public key is taken from \fIsubject\fR or \fIreq\fR.
Similarly, when constructing subject alternative names from any email addresses
contained in a subject \s-1DN,\s0 the subject \s-1DN\s0 is taken from \fIsubject\fR or \fIreq\fR.
If \fIsubject\fR or \fIcrl\fR is provided, \fIissuer\fR should point to its issuer, for
instance as a reference for generating the authority key identifier extension.
\&\fIissuer\fR may be the same pointer value as \fIsubject\fR (which usually is an
indication that the \fIsubject\fR certificate is self-issued or even self-signed).
In this case the fallback source for generating the authority key identifier
extension will be taken from any value provided using \fBX509V3_set_issuer_pkey()\fR.
\&\fIflags\fR may be 0
or contain \fBX509V3_CTX_TEST\fR, which means that just the syntax of
extension definitions is to be checked without actually producing any extension,
or \fBX509V3_CTX_REPLACE\fR, which means that each X.509v3 extension added as
defined in some configuration section shall replace any already existing
extension with the same \s-1OID.\s0
.PP
\&\fBX509V3_set_issuer_pkey()\fR explicitly sets the issuer private key of
the subject certificate that has been provided in \fIctx\fR.
This should be done in case the \fIissuer\fR and \fIsubject\fR arguments to
\&\fBX509V3_set_ctx()\fR have the same pointer value
to provide fallback data for the authority key identifier extension.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBX509V3_set_issuer_pkey()\fR returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
