gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 — API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2( |
gnutls_session_t session, |
unsigned int * status) ; |
is a gnutls session
is the output of the verification
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.
