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_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

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, an 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

[in]	handle	A GSI Proxy handle to use for the request operation.
[out]	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_create_signed	(	globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t	handle,
		globus_gsi_cred_handle_t	issuer,
		globus_gsi_cred_handle_t *	proxy_credential
	)

Create Signed Proxy Certificate.

Parameters

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_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

[in]	handle	A GSI Proxy handle to use for the inquire operation.
[in]	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

globus_result_t globus_gsi_proxy_resign_cert	(	globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t	handle,
		globus_gsi_cred_handle_t	issuer_credential,
		globus_gsi_cred_handle_t	peer_credential,
		globus_gsi_cred_handle_t *	resigned_credential
	)

Resign an 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

[in]	handle	A GSI Proxy handle to use for the signing operation.
[in]	issuer_credential	The credential structure to be used for signing the proxy certificate.
[in]	peer_credential	The credential structure that contains the certificate to be resigned.
[out]	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 globus_gsi_proxy_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

[in]	handle	A GSI Proxy handle to use for the signing operation.
[in]	issuer_credential	The credential structure to be used for signing the proxy certificate.
[out]	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
