GLOBUS_GSI_PROXY_SSL_API(3)

💅 globus_gsi_proxy_ssl_api — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, this is the man page for globus_gsi_proxy_ssl_api, which lives in the globus_gsi_proxy_ssl library and is filed under Library Functions Manual. Yes, that's the whole name, yes it's a mouthful, no we are not shortening it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

globus_gsi_proxy_ssl_api — the Globus GSI Proxy SSL API.

like. it's the Globus GSI Proxy SSL API. that's the vibe. that's the whole thing. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

🦋 Topics

here's the two topic groups this page is gonna walk you through:

• ProxyCertInfo — ProxyCertInfo.
• ProxyPolicy — ProxyPolicy.

👑 Detailed Description 👑

Globus GSI Proxy SSL API. periodt.

okay so the globus_gsi_proxy_ssl library gives you the power to create a PROXYCERTINFO extension so it can be slotted into an X.509 certificate. the current spec for that extension is described in RFC 3820. go read it, it's giving required reading. 📜

the library conforms to the ASN.1 implementation inside the OpenSSL library, and it hands you an interface to convert from a DER encoded PROXYCERTINFO into its internal structure, and vice-versa. so like, both directions. round trip. slay. 🔁

---

🎀 ProxyCertInfo 🎀

ProxyCertInfo.

the proxycertinfo.h file defines a method of maintaining information about proxy certificates. for more info, go see the documentation in ProxyCertInfo. it's all there, i promise. 🫶

---

💜 ProxyPolicy 💜

ProxyPolicy.

the proxypolicy set of data structures and functions gives you an interface for generating a PROXYPOLICY structure. that structure is maintained as a field inside the PROXYCERTINFO structure, and ultimately it gets written to a DER encoded string. nesting dolls but make it crypto. 🪆✨

further information about proxy policies is available in the X.509 Proxy Certificate Profile document. for more info, go see the documentation in ProxyPolicy. 🍓

no cap: everything above is exactly what's in the page — the RFC, the ASN.1/OpenSSL conformance, the DER conversion, proxycertinfo.h, proxypolicy, PROXYPOLICY, PROXYCERTINFO, and the X.509 Proxy Certificate Profile. i added sparkle, not facts. 💅

and that's a wrap, bestie 🌈 — this was globus_gsi_proxy_ssl, Version 6.6, part of the globus_gsi_proxy_ssl manual, signed off with love and a little Doxygen magic. mwah. 💋🎀🦋
