NAME
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h> int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned int * status);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session is a gnutls session unsigned int * status is the output of the verification
DESCRIPTION
This function will verify the peer's certificate and store the status in the status variable as a bitwise or'd gnutls_certificate_status_t values or zero if the certificate is trusted. Note that value in status is set only when the return value of this function is success (i.e, failure to trust a certificate does not imply a negative return value). If available the OCSP Certificate Status extension will be utilized by this function. To avoid denial of service attacks some default upper limits regarding the certificate key size and chain size are set. To override them use gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits(). Note that you must also check the peer's name in order to check if the verified certificate belongs to the actual peer, see gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname(), or use gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3().
RETURNS
a negative error code on error and GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) on success.
