SSL_GET_VERIFY_RESULT(3ossl) | OpenSSL | SSL_GET_VERIFY_RESULT(3ossl) |
NAME¶
SSL_get_verify_result - get result of peer certificate verification
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <openssl/ssl.h> long SSL_get_verify_result(const SSL *ssl);
DESCRIPTION¶
SSL_get_verify_result() returns the result of the verification of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any.
NOTES¶
SSL_get_verify_result() 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 SSL_get_verify_result().
The verification result is part of the established session and is restored when a session is reused.
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. SSL_get_verify_result() is only useful in connection with SSL_get_peer_certificate(3).
RETURN VALUES¶
The following return values can currently occur:
- X509_V_OK
- The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.
- Any other value
- Documented in openssl-verify(1).
