.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback - set peer certificate verification procedure Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/ssl.h> \& void SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*callback)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *), void *arg); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" \fISSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() sets the verification callback function for \fIctx. \s-1SSL\s0 objects that are created from ctx inherit the setting valid at the time when SSL_new\|(3) is called. Header "NOTES" Whenever a certificate is verified during a \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 handshake, a verification function is called. If the application does not explicitly specify a verification callback function, the built-in verification function is used. If a verification callback callback is specified via \fISSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(), the supplied callback function is called instead. By setting callback to \s-1NULL,\s0 the default behaviour is restored.

When the verification must be performed, callback will be called with the arguments callback(X509_STORE_CTX *x509_store_ctx, void *arg). The argument arg is specified by the application when setting callback.

\fIcallback should return 1 to indicate verification success and 0 to indicate verification failure. If \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 is set and callback returns 0, the handshake will fail. As the verification procedure may allow to continue the connection in case of failure (by always returning 1) the verification result must be set in any case using the error member of x509_store_ctx so that the calling application will be informed about the detailed result of the verification procedure!

Within x509_store_ctx, callback has access to the verify_callback function set using SSL_CTX_set_verify\|(3).

Header "WARNINGS" Do not mix the verification callback described in this function with the \fBverify_callback function called during the verification process. The latter is set using the SSL_CTX_set_verify\|(3) family of functions.

Providing a complete verification procedure including certificate purpose settings etc is a complex task. The built-in procedure is quite powerful and in most cases it should be sufficient to modify its behaviour using the verify_callback function.

Header "BUGS" Header "RETURN VALUES" \fISSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() does not provide diagnostic information. Header "SEE ALSO" \fIssl\|(3), SSL_CTX_set_verify\|(3), \fISSL_get_verify_result\|(3), \fISSL_CTX_load_verify_locations\|(3) Header "HISTORY" Previous to OpenSSL 0.9.7, the arg argument to SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback was ignored, and callback was called simply as int (*callback)(X509_STORE_CTX *) To compile software written for previous versions of OpenSSL, a dummy argument will have to be added to callback.
