|  | =head1 NAME | 
|  |  | 
|  | SSL_get_certificate, SSL_get_privatekey - retrieve TLS/SSL certificate and | 
|  | private key | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 SYNOPSIS | 
|  |  | 
|  | #include <openssl/ssl.h> | 
|  |  | 
|  | X509 *SSL_get_certificate(const SSL *s); | 
|  | EVP_PKEY *SSL_get_privatekey(const SSL *s); | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 DESCRIPTION | 
|  |  | 
|  | SSL_get_certificate() returns a pointer to an B<X509> object representing a | 
|  | certificate used as the local peer's identity. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Multiple certificates can be configured; for example, a server might have both | 
|  | RSA and ECDSA certificates. The certificate which is returned by | 
|  | SSL_get_certificate() is determined as follows: | 
|  |  | 
|  | =over 4 | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item | 
|  |  | 
|  | If it is called before certificate selection has occurred, it returns the most | 
|  | recently added certificate, or NULL if no certificate has been added. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item | 
|  |  | 
|  | After certificate selection has occurred, it returns the certificate which was | 
|  | selected during the handshake, or NULL if no certificate was selected (for | 
|  | example, on a client where no client certificate is in use). | 
|  |  | 
|  | =back | 
|  |  | 
|  | Certificate selection occurs during the handshake; therefore, the value returned | 
|  | by SSL_get_certificate() during any callback made during the handshake process | 
|  | will depend on whether that callback is made before or after certificate | 
|  | selection occurs. | 
|  |  | 
|  | A specific use for SSL_get_certificate() is inside a callback set via a call to | 
|  | L<SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb(3)>. This callback occurs after certificate | 
|  | selection, where it can be used to examine a server's chosen certificate, for | 
|  | example for the purpose of identifying a certificate's OCSP responder URL so | 
|  | that an OCSP response can be obtained. | 
|  |  | 
|  | SSL_get_privatekey() returns a pointer to the B<EVP_PKEY> object corresponding | 
|  | to the certificate returned by SSL_get_certificate(), if any. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 RETURN VALUES | 
|  |  | 
|  | These functions return pointers to their respective objects, or NULL if no such | 
|  | object is available. Returned objects are owned by the SSL object and should not | 
|  | be freed by users of these functions. |
