=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
X509_verify_cert,
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_verify - discover and verify X509 certificate chain
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/x509_vfy.h>
|
|
|
|
int X509_verify_cert(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx);
|
|
int X509_STORE_CTX_verify(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The X509_verify_cert() function attempts to discover and validate a
|
|
certificate chain based on parameters in I<ctx>.
|
|
The verification context, of type B<X509_STORE_CTX>, can be constructed
|
|
using L<X509_STORE_CTX_new(3)> and L<X509_STORE_CTX_init(3)>.
|
|
It usually includes a target certificate to be verified,
|
|
a set of certificates serving as trust anchors,
|
|
a list of non-trusted certificates that may be helpful for chain construction,
|
|
flags such as X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT, and various other optional components
|
|
such as a callback function that allows customizing the verification outcome.
|
|
A complete description of the certificate verification process is contained in
|
|
the L<openssl-verification-options(1)> manual page.
|
|
|
|
Applications rarely call this function directly but it is used by
|
|
OpenSSL internally for certificate validation, in both the S/MIME and
|
|
SSL/TLS code.
|
|
|
|
A negative return value from X509_verify_cert() can occur if it is invoked
|
|
incorrectly, such as with no certificate set in I<ctx>, or when it is called
|
|
twice in succession without reinitialising I<ctx> for the second call.
|
|
A negative return value can also happen due to internal resource problems
|
|
or because an internal inconsistency has been detected
|
|
or if a retry operation is requested during internal lookups
|
|
(which never happens with standard lookup methods).
|
|
Applications must interpret any return value <= 0 as an error.
|
|
|
|
The X509_STORE_CTX_verify() behaves like X509_verify_cert() except that its
|
|
target certificate is the first element of the list of untrusted certificates
|
|
in I<ctx> unless a target certificate is set explicitly.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
Both functions return 1 if a complete chain can be built and validated,
|
|
otherwise they return 0, and in exceptional circumstances (such as malloc
|
|
failure and internal errors) they can also return a negative code.
|
|
|
|
If a complete chain can be built and validated both functions return 1.
|
|
If the certificate must be rejected on the basis of the data available
|
|
or any required certificate status data is not available they return 0.
|
|
If no definite answer possible they usually return a negative code.
|
|
|
|
On error or failure additional error information can be obtained by
|
|
examining I<ctx> using, for example, L<X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(3)>. Even if
|
|
verification indicated success, the stored error code may be different from
|
|
X509_V_OK, likely because a verification callback function has waived the error.
