+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+These functions load the certificates and private keys into the SSL_CTX
+or SSL object, respectively.
+
+The SSL_CTX_* class of functions loads the certificates and keys into the
+SSL_CTX object B<ctx>. The information is passed to SSL objects B<ssl>
+created from B<ctx> with L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)> by copying, so that
+changes applied to B<ctx> do not propagate to already existing SSL objects.
+
+The SSL_* class of functions only loads certificates and keys into a
+specific SSL object. The specific information is kept, when
+L<SSL_clear(3)|SSL_clear(3)> is called for this SSL object.
+
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate() loads the certificate B<x> into B<ctx>,
+SSL_use_certificate() loads B<x> into B<ssl>. The rest of the
+certificates needed to form the complete certificate chain can be
+specified using the
+L<SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3)|SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3)>
+function.
+
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate_ASN1() loads the ASN1 encoded certificate from
+the memory location B<d> (with length B<len>) into B<ctx>,
+SSL_use_certificate_ASN1() loads the ASN1 encoded certificate into B<ssl>.
+
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file() loads the first certificate stored in B<file>
+into B<ctx>. The formatting B<type> of the certificate must be specified
+from the known types SSL_FILETYPE_PEM, SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1.
+SSL_use_certificate_file() loads the certificate from B<file> into B<ssl>.
+See the NOTES section on why SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
+should be preferred.
+
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() loads a certificate chain from
+B<file> into B<ctx>. The certificates must be in PEM format and must
+be sorted starting with the subject's certificate (actual client or server
+certificate), followed by intermediate CA certificates if applicable, and
+ending at the highest level (root) CA.
+There is no corresponding function working on a single SSL object.
+
+SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey() adds B<pkey> as private key to B<ctx>.
+SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey() adds the private key B<rsa> of type RSA
+to B<ctx>. SSL_use_PrivateKey() adds B<pkey> as private key to B<ssl>;
+SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey() adds B<rsa> as private key of type RSA to B<ssl>.
+If a certificate has already been set and the private does not belong
+to the certificate an error is returned. To change a certificate, private
+key pair the new certificate needs to be set with SSL_use_certificate()
+or SSL_CTX_use_certificate() before setting the private key with
+SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey() or SSL_use_PrivateKey().
+
+
+SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_ASN1() adds the private key of type B<pk>
+stored at memory location B<d> (length B<len>) to B<ctx>.
+SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_ASN1() adds the private key of type RSA
+stored at memory location B<d> (length B<len>) to B<ctx>.
+SSL_use_PrivateKey_ASN1() and SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey_ASN1() add the private
+key to B<ssl>.
+
+SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() adds the first private key found in
+B<file> to B<ctx>. The formatting B<type> of the certificate must be specified
+from the known types SSL_FILETYPE_PEM, SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1.
+SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file() adds the first private RSA key found in
+B<file> to B<ctx>. SSL_use_PrivateKey_file() adds the first private key found
+in B<file> to B<ssl>; SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey_file() adds the first private
+RSA key found to B<ssl>.
+
+SSL_CTX_check_private_key() checks the consistency of a private key with
+the corresponding certificate loaded into B<ctx>. If more than one
+key/certificate pair (RSA/DSA) is installed, the last item installed will
+be checked. If e.g. the last item was a RSA certificate or key, the RSA
+key/certificate pair will be checked. SSL_check_private_key() performs
+the same check for B<ssl>. If no key/certificate was explicitly added for
+this B<ssl>, the last item added into B<ctx> will be checked.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The internal certificate store of OpenSSL can hold two private key/certificate
+pairs at a time: one key/certificate of type RSA and one key/certificate
+of type DSA. The certificate used depends on the cipher select, see
+also L<SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(3)|SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(3)>.
+
+When reading certificates and private keys from file, files of type
+SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1 (also known as B<DER>, binary encoding) can only contain
+one certificate or private key, consequently
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() is only applicable to PEM formatting.
+Files of type SSL_FILETYPE_PEM can contain more than one item.
+
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() adds the first certificate found
+in the file to the certificate store. The other certificates are added
+to the store of chain certificates using
+L<SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3)|SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3)>.
+There exists only one extra chain store, so that the same chain is appended
+to both types of certificates, RSA and DSA! If it is not intended to use
+both type of certificate at the same time, it is recommended to use the
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() instead of the
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file() function in order to allow the use of
+complete certificate chains even when no trusted CA storage is used or
+when the CA issuing the certificate shall not be added to the trusted
+CA storage.
+
+If additional certificates are needed to complete the chain during the
+TLS negotiation, CA certificates are additionally looked up in the
+locations of trusted CA certificates, see
+L<SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)|SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)>.
+
+The private keys loaded from file can be encrypted. In order to successfully
+load encrypted keys, a function returning the passphrase must have been
+supplied, see
+L<SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb(3)|SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb(3)>.
+(Certificate files might be encrypted as well from the technical point
+of view, it however does not make sense as the data in the certificate
+is considered public anyway.)
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+On success, the functions return 1.
+Otherwise check out the error stack to find out the reason.

+in 0.9.8 .
