158.SH "NOTES"
159.IX Header "NOTES"
160Whenever a certificate is verified during a \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 handshake, a verification
161function is called. If the application does not explicitly specify a
162verification callback function, the built-in verification function is used.
163If a verification callback \fIcallback\fR is specified via
164\&\fISSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback()\fR, the supplied callback function is called
165instead. By setting \fIcallback\fR to \s-1NULL\s0, the default behaviour is restored.
166.PP
167When the verification must be performed, \fIcallback\fR will be called with
168the arguments callback(X509_STORE_CTX *x509_store_ctx, void *arg). The
169argument \fIarg\fR is specified by the application when setting \fIcallback\fR.
170.PP
171\&\fIcallback\fR should return 1 to indicate verification success and 0 to
172indicate verification failure. If \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 is set and \fIcallback\fR
173returns 0, the handshake will fail. As the verification procedure may
174allow to continue the connection in case of failure (by always returning 1)
175the verification result must be set in any case using the \fBerror\fR
176member of \fIx509_store_ctx\fR so that the calling application will be informed
177about the detailed result of the verification procedure!
178.PP
179Within \fIx509_store_ctx\fR, \fIcallback\fR has access to the \fIverify_callback\fR

188Providing a complete verification procedure including certificate purpose
