=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback - set peer certificate verification procedure
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
|
|
|
|
void SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx,
|
|
int (*callback)(X509_STORE_CTX *, void *),
|
|
void *arg);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() sets the verification callback function for
|
|
I<ctx>. SSL objects that are created from I<ctx> inherit the setting valid at
|
|
the time when L<SSL_new(3)> is called.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
When a peer certificate has been received during an SSL/TLS handshake,
|
|
a verification function is called regardless of the verification mode.
|
|
If the application does not explicitly specify a verification callback function,
|
|
the built-in verification function is used.
|
|
If a verification callback I<callback> is specified via
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(), the supplied callback function is called
|
|
instead with the arguments callback(X509_STORE_CTX *x509_store_ctx, void *arg).
|
|
The argument I<arg> is specified by the application when setting I<callback>.
|
|
By setting I<callback> to NULL, the default behaviour is restored.
|
|
|
|
I<callback> should return 1 to indicate verification success
|
|
and 0 to indicate verification failure.
|
|
In server mode, a return value of 0 leads to handshake failure.
|
|
In client mode, the behaviour is as follows.
|
|
All values, including 0, are ignored
|
|
if the verification mode is B<SSL_VERIFY_NONE>.
|
|
Otherwise, when the return value is less than or equal to 0, the handshake will
|
|
fail.
|
|
|
|
In client mode I<callback> may also call the L<SSL_set_retry_verify(3)>
|
|
function on the B<SSL> object set in the I<x509_store_ctx> ex data (see
|
|
L<SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx(3)>) and return 1. This would be
|
|
typically done in case the certificate verification was not yet able
|
|
to succeed. This makes the handshake suspend and return control to the
|
|
calling application with B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY>. The app can for
|
|
instance fetch further certificates or cert status information needed for
|
|
the verification. Calling L<SSL_connect(3)> again resumes the connection
|
|
attempt by retrying the server certificate verification step.
|
|
This process may even be repeated if need be.
|
|
|
|
In any case a viable verification result value must be reflected
|
|
in the B<error> member of I<x509_store_ctx>,
|
|
which can be done using L<X509_STORE_CTX_set_error(3)>.
|
|
This is particularly important in case
|
|
the I<callback> allows the connection to continue (by returning 1).
|
|
Note that the verification status in the store context is a possibly durable
|
|
indication of the chain's validity!
|
|
This gets recorded in the SSL session (and thus also in session tickets)
|
|
and the validity of the originally presented chain is then visible
|
|
on resumption, even though no chain is presented int that case.
|
|
Moreover, the calling application will be informed about the detailed result of
|
|
the verification procedure and may elect to base further decisions on it.
|
|
|
|
Within I<x509_store_ctx>, I<callback> has access to the I<verify_callback>
|
|
function set using L<SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() does not return a value.
|
|
|
|
=head1 WARNINGS
|
|
|
|
Do not mix the verification callback described in this function with the
|
|
B<verify_callback> function called during the verification process. The
|
|
latter is set using the L<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 B<verify_callback> function.
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS

|

SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() does not provide diagnostic information.
