Description
Sets the file path for the CA certificate in PEM format.If the option is set, an additional check against the peer certificate is performed to verify the issuer is indeed the one associated with the certificate provided by the option. This additional check is useful in multi-level PKI where one needs to enforce that the peer certificate is from a specific branch of the tree.
This option makes sense only when used in combination with the CURL.SetOptionSSLVerifyPeer option. Otherwise, the result of the check is not considered as failure.
A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the option, which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has failed due to a mismatch with the issuer of peer certificate (CURL.SetOptionSSLVerifyPeer has to be set too for the check to fail).
Starting with version 8.0 the plugin will always use UTF-8 encoding for file path on Linux and macOS. For macOS we also do the unicode character normalization for file names for you.
See CURL.SetOptionIssuerCertBlob to pass certificate as container or text.
