Help: CA certificate to verify peer against
|
|
|
|
|
Protocols: TLS
|
|
|

---

Tells curl to use the specified certificate file to verify the peer. The file
|
|
|
|
|
may contain multiple CA certificates. The certificate(s) must be in PEM
|
|
|
|
|
format. Normally curl is built to use a default file for this, so this option
|
|
|
|
|
is typically used to alter that default file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
curl recognizes the environment variable named 'CURL_CA_BUNDLE' if it is
|
|
|
|
|
set, and uses the given path as a path to a CA cert bundle. This option
|
|
|
|
|
overrides that variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The windows version of curl will automatically look for a CA certs file named
|
|
|
|
|
\'curl-ca-bundle.crt\', either in the same directory as curl.exe, or in the
|
|
|
|
|
Current Working Directory, or in any folder along your PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If curl is built against the NSS SSL library, the NSS PEM PKCS#11 module
|
|
|
|
|
(libnsspem.so) needs to be available for this option to work properly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iOS and macOS only) If curl is built against Secure Transport, then this
|
|
|
|
|
option is supported for backward compatibility with other SSL engines, but it
|
|
|
|
|
should not be set. If the option is not set, then curl will use the
|
|
|
|
|
certificates in the system and user Keychain to verify the peer, which is the
|
|
|
|
|
preferred method of verifying the peer's certificate chain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
