NAME
SSL_get_verify_result —
get result of peer certificate
verification
SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/ssl.h>
long
SSL_get_verify_result(const
SSL *ssl);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_get_verify_result()
returns the result of the verification of the X509 certificate presented by
the peer, if any.
NOTES
SSL_get_verify_result() can only return
one error code while the verification of a certificate can fail because of
many reasons at the same time. Only the last verification error that
occurred during the processing is available from
SSL_get_verify_result().
The verification result is part of the established session and is restored when a session is reused.
RETURN VALUES
The following return values can currently occur:
X509_V_OK- The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.
- Any other value
- Documented in openssl(1).
SEE ALSO
openssl(1), ssl(3), SSL_get_peer_certificate(3), SSL_set_verify_result(3)
BUGS
If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is
X509_V_OK. This is because no verification error
occurred; however, it does not indicate success.
SSL_get_verify_result() is only useful in connection
with
SSL_get_peer_certificate(3).
