CONF_modules_load_file(3SSL)                 OpenSSL                 CONF_modules_load_file(3SSL)



NAME
        CONF_modules_load_file, CONF_modules_load - OpenSSL configuration functions

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/conf.h>

        int CONF_modules_load_file(const char *filename, const char *appname,
                                               unsigned long flags);
        int CONF_modules_load(const CONF *cnf, const char *appname,
                                      unsigned long flags);

DESCRIPTION
       The function CONF_modules_load_file() configures OpenSSL using file filename and
       application name appname. If filename is NULL the standard OpenSSL configuration file is
       used. If appname is NULL the standard OpenSSL application name openssl_conf is used.  The
       behaviour can be cutomized using flags.

       CONF_modules_load() is idential to CONF_modules_load_file() except it reads configuration
       information from cnf.

NOTES
       The following flags are currently recognized:

       CONF_MFLAGS_IGNORE_ERRORS if set errors returned by individual configuration modules are
       ignored. If not set the first module error is considered fatal and no further modules are
       loaded.

       Normally any modules errors will add error information to the error queue. If
       CONF_MFLAGS_SILENT is set no error information is added.

       If CONF_MFLAGS_NO_DSO is set configuration module loading from DSOs is disabled.

       CONF_MFLAGS_IGNORE_MISSING_FILE if set will make CONF_load_modules_file() ignore missing
       configuration files. Normally a missing configuration file return an error.

       CONF_MFLAGS_DEFAULT_SECTION if set and appname is not NULL will use the default section
       pointed to by openssl_conf if appname does not exist.

       Applications should call these functions after loading builtin modules using
       OPENSSL_load_builtin_modules(), any ENGINEs for example using
       ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), any algorithms for example OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms() and
       (if the application uses libssl) SSL_library_init().

       By using CONF_modules_load_file() with appropriate flags an application can customise
       application configuration to best suit its needs. In some cases the use of a configuration
       file is optional and its absence is not an error: in this case
       CONF_MFLAGS_IGNORE_MISSING_FILE would be set.

       Errors during configuration may also be handled differently by different applications. For
       example in some cases an error may simply print out a warning message and the application
       continue. In other cases an application might consider a configuration file error as fatal
       and exit immediately.

       Applications can use the CONF_modules_load() function if they wish to load a configuration
       file themselves and have finer control over how errors are treated.

EXAMPLES
       Load a configuration file and print out any errors and exit (missing file considered
       fatal):

        if (CONF_modules_load_file(NULL, NULL, 0) <= 0) {
           fprintf(stderr, "FATAL: error loading configuration file\n");
           ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
           exit(1);
        }

       Load default configuration file using the section indicated by "myapp", tolerate missing
       files, but exit on other errors:

        if (CONF_modules_load_file(NULL, "myapp",
                                   CONF_MFLAGS_IGNORE_MISSING_FILE) <= 0) {
           fprintf(stderr, "FATAL: error loading configuration file\n");
           ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
           exit(1);
        }

       Load custom configuration file and section, only print warnings on error, missing
       configuration file ignored:

        if (CONF_modules_load_file("/something/app.cnf", "myapp",
                                   CONF_MFLAGS_IGNORE_MISSING_FILE) <= 0) {
           fprintf(stderr, "WARNING: error loading configuration file\n");
           ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
        }

       Load and parse configuration file manually, custom error handling:

        FILE *fp;
        CONF *cnf = NULL;
        long eline;
        fp = fopen("/somepath/app.cnf", "r");
        if (fp == NULL) {
           fprintf(stderr, "Error opening configuration file\n");
           /* Other missing configuration file behaviour */
        } else {
           cnf = NCONF_new(NULL);
           if (NCONF_load_fp(cnf, fp, &eline) == 0) {
               fprintf(stderr, "Error on line %ld of configuration file\n", eline);
               ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
               /* Other malformed configuration file behaviour */
           } else if (CONF_modules_load(cnf, "appname", 0) <= 0) {
             fprintf(stderr, "Error configuring application\n");
             ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
             /* Other configuration error behaviour */
           }
           fclose(fp);
           NCONF_free(cnf);
         }

RETURN VALUES
       These functions return 1 for success and a zero or negative value for failure. If module
       errors are not ignored the return code will reflect the return value of the failing module
       (this will always be zero or negative).
