Windows certificate and macos X certificate are stored in a reliably discoverable place. That openssl provide no way to get to it is a different story and one reason to have tls. Is talking to the Windows and Mac OS certificate stores something that you wrote for the tls library [in Haskell]? If so, is it something that could be ported for other people to use?
It's not much but it's available in the certificate package. https://github.com/vincenthz/hs-certificate/tree/master/System/Certificate/X... The mac os certificates are trivially available throught the "security" executable, but there's also documentation on the keychain format readily available. The windows certificate implementation is not finished. The certificate are easy to find, however the format is slightly complicated (basically a dump of C like structure with ASN1 marshalled data in the dump). The windows certificate is sadly not finished, as no windows user of tls (if any) is {interested-in/know-how-to} implementing it, and as I boot windows once every moon ... if someone want to sponsor the feature, come talk to me ;) That remind me that i've got pending patches to win32 to send .. -- Vincent
