NAME
X509_get_serialNumber,
X509_set_serialNumber —
get or set certificate serial
number
SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/x509.h>
ASN1_INTEGER *
X509_get_serialNumber(X509
*x);
int
X509_set_serialNumber(X509 *x,
ASN1_INTEGER *serial);
DESCRIPTION
X509_get_serialNumber()
returns the serial number of certificate x as an
ASN1_INTEGER structure which can be examined or
initialised. The value returned is an internal pointer which must not be
freed up after the call.
X509_set_serialNumber()
sets the serial number of certificate x to
serial. A copy of the serial number is used internally
so serial should be freed up after use.
RETURN VALUES
X509_get_serialNumber() returns an
ASN1_INTEGER structure.
X509_set_serialNumber() returns 1 for
success or 0 for failure. In some cases of failure, the reason can be
determined with
ERR_get_error(3).
