gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(3) gnutls gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(3)

NAME
       gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned
       int * status);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls session

       unsigned int * status
		   is the output of the verification

DESCRIPTION
       This function will try to verify the peer's certificate and return  its
       status  (trusted,  invalid etc.).  The value of status should be one or
       more of the  gnutls_certificate_status_t	 enumerated  elements  bitwise
       or'd.  To  avoid	 denial	 of  service attacks some default upper limits
       regarding the certificate key size and chain size are set. To  override
       them use gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits().

       Note  that you must also check the peer's name in order to check if the
       verified certificate belongs to the actual peer.

       This function uses gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify() with the  CAs  in  the
       credentials as trusted CAs.

RETURNS
       a negative error code on error and zero on success.
