+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb, SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata - set passwd callback for encrypted PEM file handling
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ void SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx, pem_password_cb *cb);
+ void SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata(SSL_CTX *ctx, void *u);
+
+ int pem_passwd_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb() sets the default password callback called
+when loading/storing a PEM certificate with encryption.
+
+SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata() sets a pointer to B<userdata> which
+will be provided to the password callback on invocation.
+
+The pem_passwd_cb(), which must be provided by the application, hands back the
+password to be used during decryption. On invocation a pointer to B<userdata>
+is provided. The pem_passwd_cb must write the password into the provided buffer
+B<buf> which is of size B<size>. The actual length of the password must
+be returned to the calling function. B<rwflag> indicates whether the
+callback is used for reading/decryption (rwflag=0) or writing/encryption
+(rwflag=1).
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+When loading or storing private keys, a password might be supplied to
+protect the private key. The way this password can be supplied may depend
+on the application. If only one private key is handled, it can be practical
+to have pem_passwd_cb() handle the password dialog interactively. If several
+keys have to be handled, it can be practical to ask for the password once,
+then keep it in memory and use it several times. In the last case, the
+password could be stored into the B<userdata> storage and the
+pem_passwd_cb() only returns the password already stored.
+
+When asking for the password interactively, pem_passwd_cb() can use
+B<rwflag> to check, whether an item shall be encrypted (rwflag=1).
+In this case the password dialog may ask for the same password twice
+for comparison in order to catch typos, that would make decryption
+impossible.
+
+Other items in PEM formatting (certificates) can also be encrypted, it is
+however not usual, as certificate information is considered public.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb() and SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata()
+do not provide diagnostic information.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+The following example returns the password provided as B<userdata> to the
+calling function. The password is considered to be a '\0' terminated
+string. If the password does not fit into the buffer, the password is
+truncated.
+
+ int pem_passwd_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *password)
+ {
+  strncpy(buf, (char *)(password), size);
+  buf[size - 1] = '\0';
+  return(strlen(buf));
+ }
