SSL_GET_VERIFY_RESULT(3) OpenSSL SSL_GET_VERIFY_RESULT(3)
SSL_get_verify_result - get result of peer certificate
verification
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
long SSL_get_verify_result(const SSL *ssl);
SSL_get_verify_result() returns the result of the verifica-
tion of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any.
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.
If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result
code is X509_V_OK. This is because no verification error
occurred, it does however not indicate success.
SSL_get_verify_result() is only useful in connection with
SSL_get_peer_certificate(3).
The following return values can currently occur:
X509_V_OK
The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was
presented.
Any other value
