cert
Synopsis
This extension adds native support for X509 digital certificates. Only OpenSSL format is supported at the moment but other formats should be easy to add.
Description
This is very preliminary work that is not intended for production use. Much more functionality has been prototyped but not yet merged.
The biggest change is that the issuer and subject will become LDAP names (or something similar). That type will itself convert to the expected strings but it will give us a lot more flexibility in the meanwhile.
Usage
You can create a digital certificate as a column type and populate it with a standard OpenSSL digital certificate.
{sql}
create table certs (
cert cert
);
-- these are Thawte and Verisign CA certs.
insert into certs values (

We can now query basic information about the certificate.
{sql}
select get_serial_number(cert), get_not_before(cert),
get_not_after(cert), get_issuer(cert), get_subject(cert) from certs;
get_serial_number | get_not_before | get_not_after | get_issuer | get_subject
