<p>The following macro has been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining <b>OPENSSL_API_COMPAT</b> with a suitable version value, see <a href="../man7/openssl_user_macros.html">openssl_user_macros(7)</a>:</p>

<pre><code>#define X509_NAME_hash(x) X509_NAME_hash_ex(x, NULL, NULL, NULL)</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>X509_NAME_hash_ex() returns a hash value of name <i>x</i> or 0 on failure, using any given library context <i>libctx</i> and property query <i>propq</i>. The <i>ok</i> result argument may be NULL or else is used to return 1 for success and 0 for failure. Failure may happen on malloc error or if no SHA1 implementation is available.</p>

<p>X509_NAME_hash() returns a hash value of name <i>x</i> or 0 on failure, using the default library context and default property query.</p>

<p>X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate <i>x</i>. The returned value is an internal pointer which <b>MUST NOT</b> be freed. <i>x</i> <b>MUST NOT</b> be NULL.</p>

<p>X509_set_subject_name() sets the issuer name of certificate <i>x</i> to <i>name</i>. The <i>name</i> parameter is copied internally and should be freed up when it is no longer needed.</p>

<p>X509_subject_name_hash() returns a hash value of the subject name of certificate <i>x</i>.</p>

<p>X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(), and X509_issuer_name_hash() are identical to X509_get_subject_name(), X509_set_subject_name(), and X509_subject_name_hash() except they relate to the issuer name of <i>x</i>.</p>

<p>Similarly X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(), X509_ACERT_get0_issuerName(), X509_ACERT_set1_issuerName(), X509_CRL_get_issuer() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() get or set the subject or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs respectively.</p>

<p>Since attribute certificates do not have a subject name, only the issuer name can be set. For details on setting X509_ACERT holder identities, see <a href="../man3/X509_ACERT_set0_holder_entityName.html">X509_ACERT_set0_holder_entityName(3)</a>.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>X509_get_subject_name(), X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_get_subject_name() X509_ACERT_get0_issuerName() and X509_CRL_get_issuer() return an <b>X509_NAME</b> pointer.</p>

<p>X509_NAME_hash_ex(), X509_NAME_hash(), X509_subject_name_hash() and X509_issuer_name_hash() return the first four bytes of the SHA1 hash value, converted to <b>unsigned long</b> in little endian order, or 0 on failure.</p>

<p>X509_set_subject_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(), X509_ACERT_get0_issuerName() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.</p>

<h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1>

<p>In case X509_NAME_hash(), X509_subject_name_hash(), or X509_issuer_name_hash() returns 0 it remains unclear if this is the real hash value or due to failure. Better use X509_NAME_hash_ex() instead.</p>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

<p>X509_REQ_get_subject_name() is a function in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and a macro in earlier versions.</p>

<p>X509_CRL_get_issuer() is a function in OpenSSL 1.1.0. It was previously added in OpenSSL 1.0.0 as a macro.</p>

<p>X509_NAME_hash() was turned into a macro and deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.</p>

<p>X509_ACERT_get0_issuerName(), X509_ACERT_set1_issuerName() were added in OpenSSL 3.4.</p>
