NAME¶
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3 - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3(gnutls_session_t session,
const char * hostname, unsigned int * status);
ARGUMENTS¶
- 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
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
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.
If the
hostname provided is non-NULL then this function will compare the
hostname in the certificate against the given. The comparison will be accurate
for ascii names; non-ascii names are compared byte-by-byte. 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().
RETURNS¶
a negative error code on error and
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) on success.
