|
|
|
X509_check_host, X509_check_email, X509_check_ip, X509_check_ip_asc - X.509 certificate matching
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/x509.h>
|
|
|
|
int X509_check_host(X509 *, const unsigned char *name,
|
|
size_t namelen, unsigned int flags, char **peername);
|
|
int X509_check_email(X509 *, const unsigned char *address,
|
|
size_t addresslen, unsigned int flags);
|
|
int X509_check_ip(X509 *, const unsigned char *address,
|
|
size_t addresslen, unsigned int flags);
|
|
int X509_check_ip_asc(X509 *, const char *address, unsigned int flags);
|

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The certificate matching functions are intended to be called to check
|
|
if a certificate matches a given host name, email address, or IP
|
|
address. The validity of the certificate and its trust level has to
|
|
be checked by other means.
|
|
|
|
X509_check_host() checks if the certificate matches the specified
|
|
host name, which must be encoded in the preferred name syntax
|
|
described in section 3.5 of RFC 1034. Per section 6.4.2 of RFC 6125,
|
|
B<name> values representing international domain names must be given
|
|
in A-label form. The B<namelen> argument must be the number of
|
|
characters in the name string or zero in which case the length is
|
|
calculated with strlen(name). When B<name> starts with a dot (e.g
|
|
".example.com"), it will be matched by a certificate valid for any
|
|
sub-domain of B<name>, (see also B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_SINGLE_LABEL_SUBDOMAINS>
|
|
below). When the certificate is matched and B<peername> is not
|
|
NULL a pointer to a copy of the matching hostname or CommonName
|
|
from the peer certificate is stored at the address passed in
|
|
B<peername>. The application is responsible for freeing the peername
|
|
via OPENSSL_free() when it is no longer needed. Applications are
|
|
advised to use X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host() in preference to
|
|
explicitly calling L<X509_check_host(3)>, hostname checks are out
|
|
of scope with the DANE-EE(3) certificate usage, and the internal
|
|
check will be suppressed as appropriate when DANE support is added
|
|
to OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
X509_check_email() checks if the certificate matches the specified
|
|
email address. Only the mailbox syntax of RFC 822 is supported,
|
|
comments are not allowed, and no attempt is made to normalize quoted
|
|
characters. The B<addresslen> argument must be the number of
|
|
characters in the address string. The B<namelen> argument must be
|
|
the number of characters in the name string or zero in which case the
|
|
length is calculated with strlen(name).
|
|
|
|
X509_check_ip() checks if the certificate matches a specified IPv4 or
|
|
IPv6 address. The B<address> array is in binary format, in network
|
|
byte order. The length is either 4 (IPv4) or 16 (IPv6). Only
|
|
explicitly marked addresses in the certificates are considered; IP
|
|
addresses stored in DNS names and Common Names are ignored.
|
|
|
|
X509_check_ip_asc() is similar, except that the NUL-terminated
|
|
string B<address> is first converted to the internal representation.
|
|
|
|
The B<flags> argument is usually 0. It can be the bitwise OR of the
|
|
flags:

=item B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_ALWAYS_CHECK_SUBJECT>,
|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_WILDCARDS>,
|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_PARTIAL_WILDCARDS>,
|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_MULTI_LABEL_WILDCARDS>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_SINGLE_LABEL_SUBDOMAINS>.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
The B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_ALWAYS_CHECK_SUBJECT> flag causes the function
|
|
to consider the subject DN even if the certificate contains at least
|
|
one subject alternative name of the right type (DNS name or email
|
|
address as appropriate); the default is to ignore the subject DN
|
|
when at least one corresponding subject alternative names is present.
|
|
|
|
If set, B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_WILDCARDS> disables wildcard
|
|
expansion; this only applies to B<X509_check_host>.
|
|
|
|
If set, B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_PARTIAL_WILDCARDS> suppresses support
|
|
for "*" as wildcard pattern in labels that have a prefix or suffix,
|
|
such as: "www*" or "*www"; this only aplies to B<X509_check_host>.
|
|
|
|
If set, B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_MULTI_LABEL_WILDCARDS> allows a "*" that
|
|
constitutes the complete label of a DNS name (e.g. "*.example.com")
|
|
to match more than one label in B<name>; this flag only applies
|
|
to B<X509_check_host>.
|
|
|
|
If set, B<X509_CHECK_FLAG_SINGLE_LABEL_SUBDOMAINS> restricts B<name>
|
|
values which start with ".", that would otherwise match any sub-domain
|
|
in the peer certificate, to only match direct child sub-domains.
|
|
Thus, for instance, with this flag set a B<name> of ".example.com"
|
|
would match a peer certificate with a DNS name of "www.example.com",
|
|
but would not match a peer certificate with a DNS name of
|
|
"www.sub.example.com"; this flag only applies to B<X509_check_host>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
The functions return 1 for a successful match, 0 for a failed match
|
|
and -1 for an internal error: typically a memory allocation failure.
|
|
|
|
X509_check_ip_asc() can also return -2 if the IP address string is malformed.
