See the \fB\s-1VERIFICATION FLAGS\s0\fR section for a complete description of values the \fBflags\fR parameter can take. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_flags()\fR returns the flags in \fBparam\fR. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_clear_flags()\fR clears the flags \fBflags\fR in \fBparam\fR. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_purpose()\fR sets the verification purpose in \fBparam\fR to \fBpurpose\fR. This determines the acceptable purpose of the certificate chain, for example \s-1SSL\s0 client or \s-1SSL\s0 server. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_trust()\fR sets the trust setting in \fBparam\fR to \&\fBtrust\fR. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_time()\fR sets the verification time in \fBparam\fR to \&\fBt\fR. Normally the current time is used. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy()\fR enables policy checking (it is disabled by default) and adds \fBpolicy\fR to the acceptable policy set. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()\fR enables policy checking (it is disabled by default) and sets the acceptable policy set to \fBpolicies\fR. Any existing policy set is cleared. The \fBpolicies\fR parameter can be \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR to clear an existing policy set. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_depth()\fR sets the maximum verification depth to \fBdepth\fR. That is the maximum number of untrusted \s-1CA\s0 certificates that can appear in a chain. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags()\fR, \fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_clear_flags()\fR, \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_purpose()\fR, \fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_trust()\fR, \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy()\fR and \fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for failure. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_flags()\fR returns the current verification flags. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_time()\fR and \fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_depth()\fR do not return values. .PP \&\fIX509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_depth()\fR returns the current verification depth. .SH "VERIFICATION FLAGS" .IX Header "VERIFICATION FLAGS" The verification flags consists of zero or more of the following flags ored together. .PP \&\fBX509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK\fR enables \s-1CRL\s0 checking for the certificate chain leaf certificate. An error occurs if a suitable \s-1CRL\s0 cannot be found. .PP \&\fBX509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK_ALL\fR enables \s-1CRL\s0 checking for the entire certificate chain. .PP \&\fBX509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL\fR disabled critical extension checking. By default any unhandled critical extensions in certificates or (if checked) CRLs results in a fatal error. If this flag is set unhandled critical extensions are ignored. \fB\s-1WARNING\s0\fR setting this option for anything other than debugging purposes can be a security risk. Finer control over which extensions are supported can be performed in the verification callback. .PP THe \fBX509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT\fR flag disables workarounds for some broken certificates and makes the verification strictly apply \fBX509\fR rules. .PP \&\fBX509_V_FLAG_ALLOW_PROXY_CERTS\fR enables proxy certificate verification. .PP \&\fBX509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK\fR enables certificate policy checking, by default no policy checking is peformed. Additional information is sent to the verification callback relating to policy checking. .PP \&\fBX509_V_FLAG_EXPLICIT_POLICY\fR, \fBX509_V_FLAG_INHIBIT_ANY\fR and \&\fBX509_V_FLAG_INHIBIT_MAP\fR set the \fBrequire explicit policy\fR, \fBinhibit any policy\fR and \fBinhibit policy mapping\fR flags respectively as defined in \&\fB\s-1RFC3280\s0\fR. Policy checking is automatically enabled if any of these flags are set. .PP If \fBX509_V_FLAG_NOTIFY_POLICY\fR is set and the policy checking is successful a special status code is set to the verification callback. This permits it to examine the valid policy tree and perform additional checks or simply log it for debugging purposes. .PP By default some additional features such as indirect CRLs and CRLs signed by different keys are disabled. If \fBX509_V_FLAG_EXTENDED_CRL_SUPPORT\fR is set they are enabled. .PP If \fBX509_V_FLAG_USE_DELTAS\fR ise set delta CRLs (if present) are used to determine certificate status. If not set deltas are ignored. .PP \&\fBX509_V_FLAG_CHECK_SS_SIGNATURE\fR enables checking of the root \s-1CA\s0 self signed cerificate signature. By default this check is disabled because it doesn't add any additional security but in some cases applications might want to check the signature anyway. A side effect of not checking the root \s-1CA\s0 signature is that disabled or unsupported message digests on the root \s-1CA\s0 are not treated as fatal errors. .PP The \fBX509_V_FLAG_CB_ISSUER_CHECK\fR flag enables debugging of certificate issuer checks. It is \fBnot\fR needed unless you are logging certificate verification. If this flag is set then additional status codes will be sent to the verification callback and it \fBmust\fR be prepared to handle such cases without assuming they are hard errors. .PP The \fBX509_V_FLAG_NO_ALT_CHAINS\fR flag suppresses checking for alternative chains. By default, when building a certificate chain, if the first certificate chain found is not trusted, then OpenSSL will continue to check to see if an alternative chain can be found that is trusted. With this flag set the behaviour will match that of OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.1n and 1.0.2b. .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" The above functions should be used to manipulate verification parameters instead of legacy functions which work in specific structures such as \&\fIX509_STORE_CTX_set_flags()\fR. .SH "BUGS" .IX Header "BUGS" Delta \s-1CRL\s0 checking is currently primitive. Only a single delta can be used and (partly due to limitations of \fBX509_STORE\fR) constructed CRLs are not maintained. .PP If CRLs checking is enable CRLs are expected to be available in the corresponding \fBX509_STORE\fR structure. No attempt is made to download CRLs from the \s-1CRL\s0 distribution points extension. .SH "EXAMPLE" .IX Header "EXAMPLE" Enable \s-1CRL\s0 checking when performing certificate verification during \s-1SSL \s0 connections associated with an \fB\s-1SSL_CTX\s0\fR structure \fBctx\fR: .PP .Vb 5 \& X509_VERIFY_PARAM *param; \& param = X509_VERIFY_PARAM_new(); \& X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags(param, X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK); \& SSL_CTX_set1_param(ctx, param); \& X509_VERIFY_PARAM_free(param); .Ve .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fIX509_verify_cert\fR\|(3) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" The \fBX509_V_FLAG_NO_ALT_CHAINS\fR flag was added in OpenSSL 1.0.1n and 1.0.2b
