DESCRIPTION

x509_verify_ctx_new() allocates a new context using the trusted roots. In case of success, it increments the reference count of roots.

x509_verify_ctx_free() frees ctx and decrements the reference count of the roots and intermediates associated with it. If ctx is NULL, no action occurs.

x509_verify_ctx_set_max_depth() sets the maximum depth of certificate chains that will be constructed to max, which can be in the range from 1 to the default of 32.

x509_verify_ctx_set_max_signatures() sets the maximum number of public key signature operations that will be used when verifying certificate chains to max, which can be in the range from 1 to 100000. The default is 256.

x509_verify_ctx_set_max_chains() sets the maximum number of chains which may be returned to max, which can be in the range from 1 to the default of 8.

x509_verify_ctx_set_purpose() sets the certificate purpose for validation to purpose_id. The X509_PURPOSE_* constants listed in X509_check_purpose(3) can be used.

x509_verify_ctx_set_intermediates() provides some intermediate certificates, typically received from the peer, to be used for building chains. In case of success, this function increases the reference count of intermediates.

x509_verify_ctx_error_string() extracts a description of the last error encountered by a previous call to x509_verify() from ctx.

x509_verify_ctx_error_depth() extracts the depth of the last error encountered by a previous call to x509_verify() from ctx.

x509_verify_ctx_chain() extracts the validated chain with the given index from ctx after a previous call to x509_verify(). The index starts at 0, and it is an error to pass a number greater than or equal to the return value of x509_verify(). The returned chain is neither copied, nor is its reference count increased.

RETURN VALUES

x509_verify_ctx_new() returns a newly allocated context or NULL on failure.

x509_verify_ctx_set_max_depth(), x509_verify_ctx_set_max_signatures(), x509_verify_ctx_set_max_chains(), x509_verify_ctx_set_purpose(), and x509_verify_ctx_set_intermediates() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.

x509_verify_ctx_error_string() returns a pointer to a human readable error string. If no error occurred, “ok” is returned.

x509_verify_ctx_chain() returns an internal pointer to a validated chain or NULL if index is greater than or equal to the number of chains that were successfully built and validated. The returned pointer becomes invalid when ctx is destroyed.
