SSL_get_verify_result(3)SSL_get_verify_result(3)NAMESSL_get_verify_result - Get result of peer certificate verification
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
long SSL_get_verify_result(
SSL *ssl );
DESCRIPTION
The SSL_get_verify_result() function returns the result of the verifi‐
cation of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any.
NOTES
The SSL_get_verify_result() function can only return one error code
while the verification of a certificate can fail because of many rea‐
sons 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.
RESTRICTIONS
If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is
X509_V_OK. This is because no verification error occurred; it does not
indicate success. The SSL_get_verify_result() function is only useful
in connection with the SSL_get_peer_certificate() function.
RETURN VALUES
The following return values can currently occur: The verification suc‐
ceeded or no peer certificate was presented. Documented in verify(1).
