gnutls_certif...verify_peers3(3) gnutls gnutls_certif...verify_peers3(3)
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3 - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3(gnutls_session_t session,
const char * hostname, unsigned int * status);
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls session
const char * hostname
is the expected name of the peer; may be NULL
unsigned int * status
is the output of the verification
This function will verify the peer's certificate and store the
the status in the status variable as a bitwise OR of
gnutls_certificate_status_t values or zero if the certificate is
trusted. Note that value in status is set only when the return
value of this function is success (i.e, failure to trust a
certificate does not imply a negative return value). The default
verification flags used by this function can be overridden using
gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags(). See the documentation of
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() for details in the
verification process.
This function will take into account the stapled OCSP responses
sent by the server, as well as the following X.509 certificate
extensions: Name Constraints, Key Usage, and Basic Constraints
(pathlen).
If the hostname provided is non-NULL then this function will
compare the hostname in the certificate against it. The
comparison will follow the RFC6125 recommendations. If names do
not match the GNUTLS_CERT_UNEXPECTED_OWNER status flag will be
set.
In order to verify the purpose of the end-certificate (by
checking the extended key usage), use
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers().
To avoid denial of service attacks some default upper limits
regarding the certificate key size and chain size are set. To
override them use gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits().
Note that when using raw public-keys verification will not work
because there is no corresponding certificate body belonging to
the raw key that can be verified. In that case this function will
return GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST.
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) when the validation is performed, or a
negative error code otherwise. A successful error code means
that the status parameter must be checked to obtain the
validation status.
