DESCRIPTION
X509_get_subject_name()
returns the subject name of certificate x. The
returned value is an internal pointer which must not be freed.
X509_set_subject_name()
sets the issuer name of certificate x to
name. The name parameter is
copied internally and should be freed up when it is no longer needed.
X509_get_issuer_name()
and
X509_set_issuer_name()
are identical to X509_get_subject_name() and
X509_set_subject_name() except that they get and set
the issuer name of x.
Similarly
X509_REQ_get_subject_name(),
X509_REQ_set_subject_name(),
X509_CRL_get_issuer(),
and
X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
get or set the subject or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs,
respectively.
RETURN VALUES
X509_get_subject_name(),
X509_get_issuer_name(),
X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), and
X509_CRL_get_issuer() return a pointer to an
X509_NAME object.
X509_set_subject_name(),
X509_set_issuer_name(),
X509_REQ_set_subject_name(), and
X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for success or 0
for failure. In some cases of failure, the reason can be determined with
ERR_get_error(3).
