.SH NAME
SSL_get_verify_result \- get result of peer certificate verification
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/ssl.h>
\&
\& long SSL_get_verify_result(const SSL *ssl);
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_get_verify_result()\fR returns the result of the verification of the
X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
\&\fBSSL_get_verify_result()\fR 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 \fBSSL_get_verify_result()\fR.
.PP
Sometimes there can be a sequence of errors leading to the verification
failure as reported by \fBSSL_get_verify_result()\fR.
To get the errors, it is necessary to setup a verify callback via
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_verify\fR\|(3) or \fBSSL_set_verify\fR\|(3) and retrieve the errors
from the error stack there, because once \fBSSL_connect\fR\|(3) returns,
these errors may no longer be available.
.PP
The verification result is part of the established session and is restored
when a session is reused.
.SH BUGS
.IX Header "BUGS"
If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is
X509_V_OK. This is because no verification error occurred, it does however
not indicate success. \fBSSL_get_verify_result()\fR is only useful in connection
with \fBSSL_get_peer_certificate\fR\|(3).
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The following return values can currently occur:
.IP X509_V_OK 4
.IX Item "X509_V_OK"
The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.
.IP "Any other value" 4
.IX Item "Any other value"
Documented in \fBopenssl\-verify\fR\|(1).
