NOTES Whenever a X509_STORE_CTX object is created for the verification of the peers certificate during a handshake, a pointer to the SSL object is stored into the X509_STORE_CTX object to identify the connection affected. To retrieve this pointer the X509_STORE_CTX_get_ex_data() function can be used with the correct index. This index is globally the same for all X509_STORE_CTX objects and can be retrieved using SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx(). The index value is set(7,n,1 builtins) when SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() is first called either by the application program directly or indirectly during other SSL setup(2,8) func- tions or during the handshake. The value depends on other index values defined for X509_STORE_CTX objects before the SSL index is created. RETURN VALUES >=0 The index value to access(2,5) the pointer. <0 An error(8,n) occurred, check the error(8,n) stack for a detailed error(8,n) mes- sage. EXAMPLES The index returned from SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() allows to access(2,5) the SSL object for the connection to be accessed during the ver- ify_callback() when checking the peers certificate.
