For example if multiple signers or non default digest algorithms are needed. .PP Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the \fIflags\fR parameter. .PP If \fB\s-1PKCS7_REUSE_DIGEST\s0\fR is set then an attempt is made to copy the content digest value from the \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure: to add a signer to an existing structure. An error occurs if a matching digest value cannot be found to copy. The returned \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure will be valid and finalized when this flag is set. .PP If \fB\s-1PKCS7_PARTIAL\s0\fR is set in addition to \fB\s-1PKCS7_REUSE_DIGEST\s0\fR then the \&\fB\s-1PKCS7_SIGNER_INO\s0\fR structure will not be finalized so additional attributes can be added. In this case an explicit call to \fBPKCS7_SIGNER_INFO_sign()\fR is needed to finalize it. .PP If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOCERTS\s0\fR is set the signer's certificate will not be included in the \&\fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure, the signer's certificate must still be supplied in the \&\fIsigncert\fR parameter though. This can reduce the size of the signature if the signers certificate can be obtained by other means: for example a previously signed message. .PP The signedData structure includes several PKCS#7 authenticatedAttributes including the signing time, the PKCS#7 content type and the supported list of ciphers in an SMIMECapabilities attribute. If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOATTR\s0\fR is set then no authenticatedAttributes will be used. If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP\s0\fR is set then just the SMIMECapabilities are omitted. .PP If present the SMIMECapabilities attribute indicates support for the following algorithms: triple \s-1DES, 128\s0 bit \s-1RC2, 64\s0 bit \s-1RC2, DES\s0 and 40 bit \s-1RC2.\s0 If any of these algorithms is disabled then it will not be included. .PP \&\fBPKCS7_sign_add_signers()\fR returns an internal pointer to the \fB\s-1PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO\s0\fR structure just added, which can be used to set additional attributes before it is finalized. .PP \&\fBPKCS7_add_certificate()\fR adds to the \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure \fIp7\fR the certificate \&\fIcert\fR, which may be an end-entity (signer) certificate or a \s-1CA\s0 certificate useful for chain building. This is done internally by \fBPKCS7_sign_ex\fR\|(3) and similar signing functions. It may have to be used before calling \fBPKCS7_verify\fR\|(3) in order to provide any missing certificate(s) needed for verification. .PP \&\fBPKCS7_add_crl()\fR adds the \s-1CRL\s0 \fIcrl\fR to the \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure \fIp7\fR. This may be called to provide certificate status information to be included when signing or to use when verifying the \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBPKCS7_sign_add_signers()\fR returns an internal pointer to the \fB\s-1PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO\s0\fR structure just added or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurs. .PP \&\fBPKCS7_add_certificate()\fR and \fBPKCS7_add_crl()\fR return 1 on success, 0 on error. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3), \fBPKCS7_sign_ex\fR\|(3), \&\fBPKCS7_final\fR\|(3), \fBPKCS7_verify\fR\|(3) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" The \fBPPKCS7_sign_add_signer()\fR function was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2007\-2022 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
