So it seems like a useless endeavor.
It looks like: SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() calls SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey() SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey() calls the internal function ssl_set_pkey() ssl_set_pkey() assigns to the 'privatekey' member of the CERT structure. ssl_set_pkey() actually assigns to cert->pkeys[...].privatekey, and then points cert->key to the specific pkeys[] entry. The comment on the declaration for cert->key says: /* ALWAYS points to an element of the pkeys array * Probably it would make more sense to store * an index, not a pointer. */ ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
