NAME         top

       gnutls_certificate_verify_peers - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
       int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers(gnutls_session_t session,
       gnutls_typed_vdata_st * data, unsigned int elements, unsigned int *
       status);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls session
       gnutls_typed_vdata_st * data
                   an array of typed data
       unsigned int elements
                   the number of data elements
       unsigned int * status
                   is the output of the verification

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.
       The acceptable  data types are GNUTLS_DT_DNS_HOSTNAME,
       GNUTLS_DT_RFC822NAME and GNUTLS_DT_KEY_PURPOSE_OID.  The former two
       accept as data a null-terminated hostname or email address, and the
       latter a null-terminated object identifier (e.g.,
       GNUTLS_KP_TLS_WWW_SERVER).
       If a DNS hostname is provided then this function will compare the
       hostname in the certificate against the given. If names do not match
       the GNUTLS_CERT_UNEXPECTED_OWNER status flag will be set.  If a key
       purpose OID is provided and the end-certificate contains the extended
       key usage PKIX extension, it will be required to be have the provided
       key purpose or be marked for any purpose, otherwise verification
       status will have the GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNER_CONSTRAINTS_FAILURE flag set.

RETURNS         top

       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.
