## SYNOPSIS

### Modules

**ProxyCertInfo**\
 ProxyCertInfo.  **ProxyPolicy**\
 ProxyPolicy.

## Detailed Description

Globus GSI Proxy SSL API.

The globus\_gsi\_proxy\_ssl library provides the ability to create a PROXYCERTINFO extension for inclusion in an X.509 certificate. The current specification for the extension is described in `RFC 3820`.

The library conforms to the ASN.1 implementation in the OpenSSL library, and provides an interface to convert from a DER encoded PROXYCERTINFO to its internal structure and vice-versa.

## ProxyCertInfo

ProxyCertInfo.

The **proxycertinfo.h** file defines a method of maintaining information about proxy certificates.   For more information, see the documentation in **ProxyCertInfo**

## ProxyPolicy

ProxyPolicy.

The proxypolicy set of data structures and functions provides an interface to generating a PROXYPOLICY structure which is maintained as a field in the PROXYCERTINFO structure, and ultimately gets written to a DER encoded string.

Further Information about proxy policies is available in the `X.509 Proxy Certificate Profile` document.   For more information, see the documentation in **ProxyPolicy**
