🎀 SRP_USER_PWD_NEW — the 3SSL girlies' guide 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to SRP_user_pwd_new(3SSL) ✨ — this is the OpenSSL page all about making a lil record to store SRP user verifier info. Say it with me: user verifier record. Iconic. Let's go. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

SRP_user_pwd_new, SRP_user_pwd_free, SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids, SRP_user_pwd_set_gN, SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv — the functions that create a record of SRP user verifier information. That's the whole vibe. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <openssl/srp.h>
⚠️ heads up bestie: the following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and you can hide them entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value. See openssl_user_macros(7) for the deets. 🫶
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 💖

Not me having to tell you this first: all of the functions described on this page are deprecated. 😭 And like… there are no available replacement functions at this time. So it's giving "old faithful, no glow-up planned". Periodt.

Okay now the actual tea, function by function 🍓:

  • SRP_user_pwd_new() — allocates a structure to store a user verifier record. It's literally building the lil home for your data. 🏠
  • SRP_user_pwd_free() — frees up the user_pwd structure. And if user_pwd is NULL? Nothing happens. It just shrugs and moves on, no drama. 💀
  • 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, so lowkey the caller still owns the original memory. You keep yours, she makes her own. 💅
  • SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv() — sets the user salt to s and the verifier to v for user_pwd. Here's the plot twist: the library takes ownership of the values, so the caller should not free them. Not you, bestie. She's got it. 👑
  • SRP_user_pwd_set_gN() — sets the SRP group parameters for user_pwd. BUT 🚨 the memory is not freed by SRP_user_pwd_free(), so the caller must make sure it gets freed once it is no longer used. That's on you, main character. Don't forget. 🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

  • SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids() returns 1 on success, and 0 on failure or if id was NULL. No cap.
  • SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv() returns 1 if both s and v are not NULL, and 0 otherwise. Both or nothing, she's picky like that. 💜
