NAME

SSL_get_verify_result − Get result of peer certificate verification

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/ssl.h>
long SSL_get_verify_result(
        SSL ∗ssl );

DESCRIPTION

The SSL_get_verify_result() function returns the result of the verification of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any. 

NOTES

The SSL_get_verify_result() function can only return one error code while the verification of a certificate can fail because of many reasons at the same time. Only the last verification error that occurred during the processing is available from SSL_get_verify_result(). 

The verification result is part of the established session and is restored when a session is reused. 

RESTRICTIONS

If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is X509_V_OK.  This is because no verification error occurred; it does not indicate success.  The SSL_get_verify_result() function is only useful in connection with the SSL_get_peer_certificate() function. 

RETURN VALUES

The following return values can currently occur:

X509_V_OK
The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.

Any other value
Documented in verify(1).
