NAME

       gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name(3)     cert,
       unsigned int seq, void * ian, size_t * ian_size, unsigned int *  criti-
       cal);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type

       unsigned int seq
                   specifies  the  sequence  number of the alt name (0 for the
                   first one, 1 for the second etc.)

       void * ian  is the place where the alternative name will be copied to

       size_t * ian_size
                   holds the size of ian.

       unsigned int * critical
                   will be non-zero if the extension  is  marked  as  critical
                   (may be null)


DESCRIPTION

       This  function  retrieves the Issuer Alternative Name (2.5.29.18), con-
       tained in the given certificate in the X509v3 Certificate Extensions.

       When the SAN type is otherName, it will extract the data in the  other-
       Name's  value field, and GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME is returned.  You may use
       gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid() to get the  correspond-
       ing  OID and the "virtual" SAN types (e.g., GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP).

       If an otherName OID is known, the data will be decoded.  Otherwise  the
       returned data will be DER encoded, and you will have to decode it your-
       self.  Currently, only the RFC 3920 id-on-xmppAddr  Issuer  AltName  is
       recognized.


RETURNS

       the  alternative  issuer  name  type  on success, one of the enumerated
       gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t.   It  will  return  GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEM-
       ORY_BUFFER if  ian_size is not large enough to hold the value.  In that
       case  ian_size will be updated with the required size.  If the certifi-
       cate does not have an Alternative name with the specified sequence num-
       ber then GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.


SINCE

       2.10.0
