Subject: printing a certificate

Hi,

Would someone kindly tutor me on how to print out a certificate
programmatically?  I know how to extract the common name, but was just
wondering if there is an API function to just print the whole thing in
human readable form?

   X509 *pX509Peer = SSL_get_peer_certificate( pSsl );
   if ( pX509Peer != 0 )
   {
  // Extract the common name from the peer's certificate
  X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID( X509_get_subject_name( pX509Peer ),
 NID_commonName, commonName,
commonNameBufferSize );

Thanks,
Dallas

X509_print_ex() is the best function to use.
