💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is the SRP_USER_PWD_NEW(3ossl) manual page — iconic little corner of OpenSSL. It covers SRP_user_pwd_new, SRP_user_pwd_free, SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids, SRP_user_pwd_set_gN, and SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv: functions to create a record of SRP user verifier information ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

First, the include, no cap:

#include <openssl/srp.h>

Heads up, bestie: the following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

SRP_user_pwd *SRP_user_pwd_new(void);
void SRP_user_pwd_free(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd);

int SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, const char *id, const char *info);
void SRP_user_pwd_set_gN(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, const BIGNUM *g, const BIGNUM *N);
int SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, BIGNUM *s, BIGNUM *v);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. There are no available replacement functions at this time. Not me delivering the sad little deprecation news 😭

  • SRP_user_pwd_new() — allocates a structure to store a user verifier record. Main character allocation energy 👑
  • SRP_user_pwd_free() — frees up the user_pwd structure. If user_pwd is NULL, nothing is done. Respectfully, it simply minds its business 💅
  • SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids() — sets the username to id and the optional user info to info for user_pwd. The library allocates new copies of id and info, and the caller still owns the original memory 🫶
  • SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv() — sets the user salt to s and the verifier to v for user_pwd. The library takes ownership of the values, so they should not be freed by the caller. Ownership transfer, slay 🔥
  • SRP_user_pwd_set_gN() — sets the SRP group parameters for user_pwd. The memory is not freed by SRP_user_pwd_free(), so the caller must make sure it is freed once it is no longer used. Lowkey important, bestie ⚠️

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

  • SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure or if id was NULL.
  • SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv() returns 1 if both s and v are not NULL, and 0 otherwise.
