NAME         top

       gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert,
       unsigned int seq, void * ian, size_t * ian_size, unsigned int *
       critical);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type
       unsigned int seq
                   specifies the sequence number of the alt name (0 for the
                   first one, 1 for the second etc.)
       void * ian  is the place where the alternative name will be copied to
       size_t * ian_size
                   holds the size of ian.
       unsigned int * critical
                   will be non-zero if the extension is marked as critical
                   (may be null)

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function retrieves the Issuer Alternative Name (2.5.29.18),
       contained in the given certificate in the X509v3 Certificate
       Extensions.
       When the SAN type is otherName, it will extract the data in the
       otherName's value field, and GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME is returned.  You
       may use gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid() to get the
       corresponding OID and the "virtual" SAN types (e.g.,
       GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP).
       If an otherName OID is known, the data will be decoded.  Otherwise
       the returned data will be DER encoded, and you will have to decode it
       yourself.  Currently, only the RFC 3920 id-on-xmppAddr Issuer AltName
       is recognized.

RETURNS         top

       the alternative issuer name type on success, one of the enumerated
       gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t.  It will return
       GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if  ian_size is not large enough to hold
       the value.  In that case  ian_size will be updated with the required
       size.  If the certificate does not have an Alternative name with the
       specified sequence number then GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE
       is returned.
