Using the CRL distribution point extension, a certificate can specify where to obtain certificate revocation lists that might later revoke it.

() allocates and initializes an empty DIST_POINT object, representing an ASN.1 DistributionPoint structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.13. It can hold issuer names, distribution point names, and reason flags. () frees dp.

() allocates and initializes an empty CRL_DIST_POINTS object, which is a STACK_OF(DIST_POINT) and represents the ASN.1 CRLDistributionPoints structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.13. It can be used as an extension in X509 and in X509_CRL objects. () frees dps.

() allocates and initializes an empty DIST_POINT_NAME object, representing an ASN.1 DistributionPointName structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.13. It is used by the DIST_POINT and ISSUING_DIST_POINT objects and can hold multiple names, each representing a different way to obtain the same CRL. () frees name.

() allocates and initializes an empty ISSUING_DIST_POINT object, representing an ASN.1 IssuingDistributionPoint structure defined in RFC 5280 section 5.2.5. Using this extension, a CRL can specify which distribution point it was issued from and which kinds of certificates and revocation reasons it covers. () frees dp.

DIST_POINT_new(), CRL_DIST_POINTS_new(), DIST_POINT_NAME_new(), and ISSUING_DIST_POINT_new() return the new DIST_POINT, CRL_DIST_POINTS, DIST_POINT_NAME, or ISSUING_DIST_POINT object, respectively, or NULL if an error occurs.
