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 try to verify the peer's certificate and return
its status (trusted, invalid etc.). The value of status should
be one or more of the gnutls_certificate_status_t enumerated
elements bitwise or'd. 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.
This function uses gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify() with the CAs in
the credentials as trusted CAs.
Note that some commonly used X.509 Certificate Authorities are
still using Version 1 certificates. If you want to accept them,
you need to call gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags() with, e.g.,
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT parameter.
RETURNS
a negative error code on error and zero on success.
