gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(3) gnutls gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(3)

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 verify the peer's certificate and store  the	status
       in  the	 status variable as a bitwise or'd gnutls_certificate_status_t
       values or zero if the certificate is trusted. Note that value in	  sta‐
       tus 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).

       If available the OCSP Certificate Status extension will be utilized  by
       this function.

       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,	   see
       gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname(),    or	 use   gnutls_certificate_ver‐
       ify_peers3().

RETURNS
       a negative error code on error and GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) on success.
