gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3 - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3(gnutls_session_t session, const
char * hostname, unsigned int * status);
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls session
const char * hostname
is the expected name of the peer; may be NULL
unsigned int * status
is the output of the verification
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). The default verification flags used by this function can be
overridden using gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags(). See the
documentation of gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() for details in
the verification process.
If the hostname provided is non-NULL then this function will compare
the hostname in the certificate against it. The comparison will
follow the RFC6125 recommendations. If names do not match the
GNUTLS_CERT_UNEXPECTED_OWNER status flag will be set.
In order to verify the purpose of the end-certificate (by checking
the extended key usage), use gnutls_certificate_verify_peers().
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) when the validation is performed, or a negative
error code otherwise. A sucessful error code means that the status
parameter must be checked to obtain the validation status.
