XML Security Library initialization/shutdown process includes initialization and shutdown of the dependent libraries:
libxml library;
libxslt library;
crypto library (OpenSSL, GnuTLS, GCrypt, NSS, ...);
xmlsec library (xmlSecInit and xmlSecShutdown functions);
xmlsec-crypto library (xmlSecCryptoDLLoadLibrary to load xmlsec-crypto library dynamicaly if needed, xmlSecCryptoInit and xmlSecCryptoShutdown functions);
xmlsec-crypto library also provides a convinient functions xmlSecAppCryptoInit and xmlSecAppCryptoShutdown to initialize the crypto library itself but application can do it by itself.
Example 8. Initializing application.
/* Init libxml and libxslt libraries */ xmlInitParser(); LIBXML_TEST_VERSION xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue = XML_DETECT_IDS | XML_COMPLETE_ATTRS; xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault(1); #ifndef XMLSEC_NO_XSLT xmlIndentTreeOutput = 1; #endif /* XMLSEC_NO_XSLT */ /* Init xmlsec library */ if(xmlSecInit() < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error: xmlsec initialization failed.\n"); return(-1); } /* Check loaded library version */ if(xmlSecCheckVersion() != 1) { fprintf(stderr, "Error: loaded xmlsec library version is not compatible.\n"); return(-1); } /* Load default crypto engine if we are supporting dynamic * loading for xmlsec-crypto libraries. Use the crypto library * name ("openssl", "nss", etc.) to load corresponding * xmlsec-crypto library. */ #ifdef XMLSEC_CRYPTO_DYNAMIC_LOADING if(xmlSecCryptoDLLoadLibrary(NULL) < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error: unable to load default xmlsec-crypto library. Make sure\n" "that you have it installed and check shared libraries path\n" "(LD_LIBRARY_PATH) envornment variable.\n"); return(-1); } #endif /* XMLSEC_CRYPTO_DYNAMIC_LOADING */ /* Init crypto library */ if(xmlSecCryptoAppInit(NULL) < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error: crypto initialization failed.\n"); return(-1); } /* Init xmlsec-crypto library */ if(xmlSecCryptoInit() < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error: xmlsec-crypto initialization failed.\n"); return(-1); }
Example 9. Shutting down application.
/* Shutdown xmlsec-crypto library */ xmlSecCryptoShutdown(); /* Shutdown crypto library */ xmlSecCryptoAppShutdown(); /* Shutdown xmlsec library */ xmlSecShutdown(); /* Shutdown libxslt/libxml */ #ifndef XMLSEC_NO_XSLT xsltCleanupGlobals(); #endif /* XMLSEC_NO_XSLT */ xmlCleanupParser();
