load_native_certs

rama::tls::rustls::dep::native_certs

Function load_native_certs 

pub fn load_native_certs() -> CertificateResult
Available on (crate features rustls or boring or acme) and crate feature rustls only.
Expand description

Load root certificates found in the platform’s native certificate store.

§Environment Variables

Env. Var.Description
SSL_CERT_FILEFile containing an arbitrary number of certificates in PEM format.
SSL_CERT_DIRColon separated list of directories containing certificate files.

If either (or both) are set, certificates are only loaded from the locations specified via environment variables and not the platform- native certificate store.

§Certificate Validity

All certificates are expected to be in PEM format. A file may contain multiple certificates.

Example:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

For reasons of compatibility, an attempt is made to skip invalid sections of a certificate file but this means it’s also possible for a malformed certificate to be skipped.

If a certificate isn’t loaded, and no error is reported, check if:

  1. the certificate is in PEM format (see example above)
  2. BEGIN CERTIFICATE line starts with exactly five hyphens ('-')
  3. END CERTIFICATE line ends with exactly five hyphens ('-')
  4. there is a line break after the certificate.

§Errors

This function fails in a platform-specific way, expressed in a std::io::Error.

§Caveats

This function can be expensive: on some platforms it involves loading and parsing a ~300KB disk file. It’s therefore prudent to call this sparingly.
