=head1 NAME
PKCS12_parse - parse a PKCS#12 structure
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/pkcs12.h>
int PKCS12_parse(PKCS12 *p12, const char *pass, EVP_PKEY **pkey, X509 **cert,
STACK_OF(X509) **ca);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
PKCS12_parse() parses a PKCS12 structure.
B<p12> is the B<PKCS12> structure to parse. B<pass> is the passphrase to use.
If successful the private key will be written to B<*pkey>, the corresponding
certificate to B<*cert> and any additional certificates to B<*ca>.
=head1 NOTES
Each of the parameters B<pkey>, B<cert>, and B<ca> can be NULL in which case
the private key, the corresponding certificate, or the additional certificates,
respectively, will be discarded.
If any of B<pkey> and B<cert> is non-NULL the variable it points to is
initialized.
If B<ca> is non-NULL and B<*ca> is NULL a new STACK will be allocated.
If B<ca> is non-NULL and B<*ca> is a valid STACK
then additional certificates are appended in the given order to B<*ca>.
The B<friendlyName> and B<localKeyID> attributes (if present) on each
certificate will be stored in the B<alias> and B<keyid> attributes of the
B<X509> structure.
The parameter B<pass> is interpreted as a string in the UTF-8 encoding. If it
is not valid UTF-8, then it is assumed to be ISO8859-1 instead.
In particular, this means that passwords in the locale character set
(or code page on Windows) must potentially be converted to UTF-8 before
use. This may include passwords from local text files, or input from
the terminal or command line. Refer to the documentation of
L<UI_OpenSSL(3)>, for example.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
PKCS12_parse() returns 1 for success and zero if an error occurred.
The error can be obtained from L<ERR_get_error(3)>
=head1 BUGS
Only a single private key and corresponding certificate is returned by this
function. More complex PKCS#12 files with multiple private keys will only
return the first match.
Only B<friendlyName> and B<localKeyID> attributes are currently stored in
certificates. Other attributes are discarded.
Attributes currently cannot be stored in the private key B<EVP_PKEY> structure.
