NAME
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned
int * status);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls session
unsigned int * status
is the output of the verification
DESCRIPTION
This function will try to verify the peer's certificate and return its
status (trusted, invalid etc.). The value of status should be one or
more of the gnutls_certificate_status_t enumerated elements bitwise
or'd. 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 you must also check the peer's name in order to check if the
verified certificate belongs to the actual peer.
This function uses gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify() with the CAs in the
credentials as trusted CAs.
RETURNS
a negative error code on error and zero on success.
