If no callback function shall be specified, the \s-1NULL\s0 pointer can be used for \fBverify_callback\fR. .PP \&\fBSSL_set_verify()\fR sets the verification flags for \fBssl\fR to be \fBmode\fR and specifies the \fBverify_callback\fR function to be used. If no callback function shall be specified, the \s-1NULL\s0 pointer can be used for \fBverify_callback\fR. In this case last \fBverify_callback\fR set specifically for this \fBssl\fR remains. If no special \fBcallback\fR was set before, the default callback for the underlying \&\fBctx\fR is used, that was valid at the time \fBssl\fR was created with \&\fBSSL_new\fR\|(3). .PP \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_verify_depth()\fR sets the maximum \fBdepth\fR for the certificate chain verification that shall be allowed for \fBctx\fR. (See the \s-1BUGS\s0 section.) .PP \&\fBSSL_set_verify_depth()\fR sets the maximum \fBdepth\fR for the certificate chain verification that shall be allowed for \fBssl\fR. (See the \s-1BUGS\s0 section.) .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" The verification of certificates can be controlled by a set of logically or'ed \fBmode\fR flags: .IP "\s-1SSL_VERIFY_NONE\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_VERIFY_NONE" \&\fBServer mode:\fR the server will not send a client certificate request to the client, so the client will not send a certificate. .Sp \&\fBClient mode:\fR if not using an anonymous cipher (by default disabled), the server will send a certificate which will be checked. The result of the certificate verification process can be checked after the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake using the \fBSSL_get_verify_result\fR\|(3) function. The handshake will be continued regardless of the verification result. .IP "\s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_VERIFY_PEER" \&\fBServer mode:\fR the server sends a client certificate request to the client. The certificate returned (if any) is checked. If the verification process fails, the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake is immediately terminated with an alert message containing the reason for the verification failure. The behaviour can be controlled by the additional \&\s-1SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT\s0 and \s-1SSL_VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE\s0 flags. .Sp \&\fBClient mode:\fR the server certificate is verified. If the verification process fails, the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake is immediately terminated with an alert message containing the reason for the verification failure. If no server certificate is sent, because an anonymous cipher is used, \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 is ignored. .IP "\s-1SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT" \&\fBServer mode:\fR if the client did not return a certificate, the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake is immediately terminated with a \*(L"handshake failure\*(R" alert. This flag must be used together with \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER.\s0 .Sp \&\fBClient mode:\fR ignored .IP "\s-1SSL_VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE" \&\fBServer mode:\fR only request a client certificate on the initial \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake. Do not ask for a client certificate again in case of a renegotiation. This flag must be used together with \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER.\s0 .Sp \&\fBClient mode:\fR ignored .PP Exactly one of the \fBmode\fR flags \s-1SSL_VERIFY_NONE\s0 and \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 must be set at any time. .PP The actual verification procedure is performed either using the built-in verification procedure or using another application provided verification function set with \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback\fR\|(3). The following descriptions apply in the case of the built-in procedure. An application provided procedure also has access to the verify depth information and the \fBverify_callback()\fR function, but the way this information is used may be different. .PP \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_verify_depth()\fR and \fBSSL_set_verify_depth()\fR set the limit up to which depth certificates in a chain are used during the verification procedure. If the certificate chain is longer than allowed, the certificates above the limit are ignored. Error messages are generated as if these certificates would not be present, most likely a X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY will be issued. The depth count is \*(L"level 0:peer certificate\*(R", \*(L"level 1: \s-1CA\s0 certificate\*(R", \&\*(L"level 2: higher level \s-1CA\s0 certificate\*(R", and so on. Setting the maximum depth to 2 allows the levels 0, 1, and 2. The default depth limit is 100, allowing for the peer certificate and additional 100 \s-1CA\s0 certificates. .PP The \fBverify_callback\fR function is used to control the behaviour when the \&\s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 flag is set. It must be supplied by the application and receives two arguments: \fBpreverify_ok\fR indicates, whether the verification of the certificate in question was passed (preverify_ok=1) or not (preverify_ok=0). \fBx509_ctx\fR is a pointer to the complete context used for the certificate chain verification. .PP The certificate chain is checked starting with the deepest nesting level (the root \s-1CA\s0 certificate) and worked upward to the peer's certificate. At each level signatures and issuer attributes are checked. Whenever a verification error is found, the error number is stored in \fBx509_ctx\fR and \fBverify_callback\fR is called with \fBpreverify_ok\fR=0. By applying X509_CTX_store_* functions \fBverify_callback\fR can locate the certificate in question and perform additional steps (see \s-1EXAMPLES\s0). If no error is found for a certificate, \fBverify_callback\fR is called with \fBpreverify_ok\fR=1 before advancing to the next level. .PP The return value of \fBverify_callback\fR controls the strategy of the further verification process. If \fBverify_callback\fR returns 0, the verification process is immediately stopped with \*(L"verification failed\*(R" state. If \&\s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 is set, a verification failure alert is sent to the peer and the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake is terminated. If \fBverify_callback\fR returns 1, the verification process is continued. If \fBverify_callback\fR always returns 1, the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake will not be terminated with respect to verification failures and the connection will be established. The calling process can however retrieve the error code of the last verification error using \&\fBSSL_get_verify_result\fR\|(3) or by maintaining its own error storage managed by \fBverify_callback\fR. .PP If no \fBverify_callback\fR is specified, the default callback will be used. Its return value is identical to \fBpreverify_ok\fR, so that any verification failure will lead to a termination of the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake with an alert message, if \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 is set. .SH "BUGS" .IX Header "BUGS" In client mode, it is not checked whether the \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 flag is set, but whether \s-1SSL_VERIFY_NONE\s0 is not set. This can lead to unexpected behaviour, if the \s-1SSL_VERIFY_PEER\s0 and \s-1SSL_VERIFY_NONE\s0 are not used as required (exactly one must be set at any time). .PP The certificate verification depth set with SSL[_CTX]\fB_verify_depth()\fR stops the verification at a certain depth. The error message produced will be that of an incomplete certificate chain and not X509_V_ERR_CERT_CHAIN_TOO_LONG as may be expected. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" The SSL*_set_verify*() functions do not provide diagnostic information. .SH "EXAMPLES" .IX Header "EXAMPLES" The following code sequence realizes an example \fBverify_callback\fR function that will always continue the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake regardless of verification failure, if wished. The callback realizes a verification depth limit with more informational output. .PP All verification errors are printed; information about the certificate chain is printed on request. The example is realized for a server that does allow but not require client certificates. .PP The example makes use of the ex_data technique to store application data into/retrieve application data from the \s-1SSL\s0 structure (see \fBSSL_get_ex_new_index\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx\fR\|(3)). .PP .Vb 10 \& ... \& typedef struct { \& int verbose_mode; \& int verify_depth; \& int always_continue; \& } mydata_t; \& int mydata_index; \& ... \& static int verify_callback(int preverify_ok, X509_STORE_CTX *ctx) \& { \& char buf[256]; \& X509 *err_cert; \& int err, depth; \& SSL *ssl; \& mydata_t *mydata; \& \& err_cert = X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert(ctx); \& err = X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(ctx); \& depth = X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth(ctx); \& \& /* \& * Retrieve the pointer to the SSL of the connection currently treated \& * and the application specific data stored into the SSL object. \& */ \& ssl = X509_STORE_CTX_get_ex_data(ctx, SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx()); \& mydata = SSL_get_ex_data(ssl, mydata_index); \& \& X509_NAME_oneline(X509_get_subject_name(err_cert), buf, 256); \& \& /* \& * Catch a too long certificate chain.
