=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
These functions are typically called after X509_verify_cert() has indicated
|
|
an error or in a verification callback to determine the nature of an error.
|
|
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_get_error() returns the error code of B<ctx>, see
|
|
the B<ERROR CODES> section for a full description of all error codes.
|
|
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_set_error() sets the error code of B<ctx> to B<s>. For example
|
|
it might be used in a verification callback to set an error based on additional
|
|
checks.
|
|
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth() returns the B<depth> of the error. This is a
|
|
non-negative integer representing where in the certificate chain the error
|
|
occurred. If it is zero it occurred in the end entity certificate, one if
|
|
it is the certificate which signed the end entity certificate and so on.
|
|
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() returns the certificate in B<ctx> which
|
|
caused the error or B<NULL> if no certificate is relevant.
|
|
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_get1_chain() returns a complete validate chain if a previous
|
|
call to X509_verify_cert() is successful. If the call to X509_verify_cert()
|
|
is B<not> successful the returned chain may be incomplete or invalid. The
|
|
returned chain persists after the B<ctx> structure is freed, when it is
|
|
no longer needed it should be free up using:
|
|
|
|
sk_X509_pop_free(chain, X509_free);
|
|
|
|
X509_verify_cert_error_string() returns a human readable error string for
|
|
verification error B<n>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_get_error() returns B<X509_V_OK> or an error code.
|
|
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth() returns a non-negative error depth.
|
|
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() returns the cerificate which caused the
|
|
error or B<NULL> if no certificate is relevant to the error.
|
|
|
|
X509_verify_cert_error_string() returns a human readable error string for
|
|
verification error B<n>.

=head1 ERROR CODES
|
|
|
|
A list of error codes and messages is shown below. Some of the
|
|
error codes are defined but currently never returned: these are described as
|
|
"unused".

=item B<X509_V_OK: ok>
|
|
|
|
the operation was successful.

|
|
|
=item B<X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT: unable to get issuer certificate>
|
|
|
|
the issuer certificate could not be found: this occurs if the issuer certificate

|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_V_ERR_INVALID_POLICY_EXTENSION: invalid or inconsistent certificate policy extension>
|
|
|

|
|
=item B<X509_V_ERR_NO_EXPLICIT_POLICY: no explicit policy>
|
|
|

this is not supported.
|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_V_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_CONSTRAINT_TYPE: unsupported name constraint type>
|

An unsupported name constraint type was encountered. OpenSSL currently only
|
|
supports directory name, DNS name, email and URI types.
|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_V_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_CONSTRAINT_SYNTAX: unsupported or invalid name constraint syntax>
|
|
|
|
The format of the name constraint is not recognised: for example an email
|
|
address format of a form not mentioned in RFC3280. This could be caused by
|
|
a garbage extension or some new feature not currently supported.
|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_V_ERR_CRL_PATH_VALIDATION_ERROR: CRL path validation error>
|
|

happen if extended CRL checking is enabled.
|
|
|
|
=item B<X509_V_ERR_APPLICATION_VERIFICATION: application verification failure>
|
|
|
|
an application specific error. This will never be returned unless explicitly
|
|
set by an application.

|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The above functions should be used instead of directly referencing the fields
|
|
in the B<X509_VERIFY_CTX> structure.
|
|
|
|
In versions of OpenSSL before 1.0 the current certificate returned by
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() was never B<NULL>. Applications should
|
|
check the return value before printing out any debugging information relating
|
|
to the current certificate.
|
|
|
|
If an unrecognised error code is passed to X509_verify_cert_error_string() the
|
|
numerical value of the unknown code is returned in a static buffer. This is not
|
|
thread safe but will never happen unless an invalid code is passed.
