=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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Whenever a certificate is verified during a SSL/TLS 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 I<callback> is specified via
 | 
						|
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(), the supplied callback function is called
 | 
						|
instead. By setting I<callback> to NULL, the default behaviour is restored.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When the verification must be performed, I<callback> will be called 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>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I<callback> should return 1 to indicate verification success and 0 to
 | 
						|
indicate verification failure. If SSL_VERIFY_PEER is set and I<callback>
 | 
						|
returns 0, the handshake will fail. As the verification procedure may
 | 
						|
allow the connection to continue in the case of failure (by always
 | 
						|
returning 1) the verification result must be set in any case using the
 | 
						|
B<error> member of I<x509_store_ctx> so that the calling application
 | 
						|
will be informed about the detailed result of the verification procedure!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.
