| 4 | |||
| 5 | X509_verify_cert - discover and verify X509 certificte chain | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | #include <openssl/x509.h> | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | int X509_verify_cert(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx); | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | The X509_verify_cert() function attempts to discover and validate a | ||
| 16 | certificate chain based on parameters in B<ctx>. A complete description of | ||
| 17 | the process is contained in the L<verify(1)|verify(1)> manual page. | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | =head1 RETURN VALUES | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | If a complete chain can be built and validated this function returns 1, | ||
| 22 | otherwise it return zero, in exceptional circumstances it can also | ||
| 23 | return a negative code. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | If the function fails additional error information can be obtained by | ||
| 26 | examining B<ctx> using, for example X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(). | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | =head1 NOTES | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | Applications rarely call this function directly but it is used by | ||
| 31 | OpenSSL internally for certificate validation, in both the S/MIME and | ||
| 32 | SSL/TLS code. | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | The negative return value from X509_verify_cert() can only occur if no | ||
| 35 | certificate is set in B<ctx> (due to a programming error) or if a retry | ||
| 36 | operation is requested during internal lookups (which never happens with | ||
| 37 | standard lookup methods). It is however recommended that application check | ||
| 38 | for <= 0 return value on error. | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | =head1 BUGS | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | This function uses the header B<x509.h> as opposed to most chain verification | ||
| 43 | functiosn which use B<x509_vfy.h>. | ||

| 48 | |||
| 49 | =head1 HISTORY | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | X509_verify_cert() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. | ||
