Hi Team,

I am working on the CRL validation stuff. In that process, I need to
extract the cdp(crl distribution point).
I am a bit hazy about extracting the crl distribution point (cdp) from
the certificate.

I am following the below mentioned procedure to extract the cdp. I am
succeeded in getting the basecrl's cdp.Please have a look at the code
mentioned below.

MY DOUBT: How to extract the delta crl's cdp? Can I use the
"NID_delta_crl" in the following API to extract the delta crl location
information?

pnt = X509_get_ext_d2i(x, NID_delta_crl, NULL, NULL);
Appreciate your thoughts on the same. THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE.


*********CODE STARTS ******************
   //Obtain CDP from the current certificate
        X509 *curr_cert = NULL;
        DIST_POINT *pnt, *pnt1;

    pnt = X509_get_ext_d2i(x, NID_crl_distribution_points, NULL, NULL);

    for (i = 0; i < sk_DIST_POINT_num(pnt); i++)
    {
        pnt1 = sk_DIST_POINT_value(pnt, i);
        if(pnt1->distpoint)
        {
            if(pnt1->distpoint->type == 0)
            {
                int j=0;
                GENERAL_NAMES *gen;
                GENERAL_NAME *gen1;
                printf("In here: DELTA_CRL\n");
                gen = pnt1->distpoint->name.fullname;

                for(j = 0; j<sk_GENERAL_NAME_num(gen);j++)
                {
                    gen1 = sk_GENERAL_NAME_value(gen, j);
                    printf("type is %d\n",gen1->type);

                    switch (gen1->type)
                    {
                        case GEN_DNS:
                        printf("DNS");
                        break;

                        case GEN_URI:
                        //ASN1_IA5STRING *nm = gen1->d.ia5;
                        printf("Here is the DELTA CDP\n");
                        printf("%s\n",gen1->d.ia5->data);

                        strcpy(delta_cdp, (char*)gen1->d.ia5->data);
                        break;

                    }
                }
            }
        }
