NAME

6       gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
10
11       int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned
12       int * status);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_session_t session
16                   is a gnutls session
17
18       unsigned int * status
19                   is the output of the verification
20

DESCRIPTION

22       This function will try to verify the peer's certificate and return  its
23       status  (trusted,  invalid etc.).  The value of status should be one or
24       more of the  gnutls_certificate_status_t  enumerated  elements  bitwise
25       or'd.  To  avoid  denial  of  service attacks some default upper limits
26       regarding the certificate key size and chain size are set. To  override
27       them use gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits().
28
29       Note  that you must also check the peer's name in order to check if the
30       verified certificate belongs to the actual peer.
31
32       This function uses gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify() with the  CAs  in  the
33       credentials as trusted CAs.
34

RETURNS

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