SSL_get_verify_result(3)					      OpenSSL						  SSL_get_verify_result(3)

NAME

       SSL_get_verify_result - get result of peer certificate verification

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/ssl.h>

	long SSL_get_verify_result(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION

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

NOTES

       SSL_get_verify_result() 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.

BUGS

       If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is X509_V_OK. This is because no verification error occurred, it does how-
       ever not indicate success. SSL_get_verify_result() is only useful in connection with SSL_get_peer_certificate(3).

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).
