Subject: [PULL 28/32] crypto: avoid loading the CA certs twice
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 13:37:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103133727.423041-29-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251103133727.423041-1-berrange@redhat.com>
The x509 TLS credentials code will load the CA certs once to perform
sanity chcking on the certs, then discard the certificate objects
and let gnutls load them a second time.
This introduces a new QCryptoTLSCredsX509Files struct which will
hold the CA certificates loaded for sanity checking and pass them on
to gnutls, avoiding the duplicated loading.
