SSL_get_verify_result 3 2005-04-23 0.9.9-dev OpenSSL

### NAME

SSL_get_verify_result - get result of peer certificate verification

### LIBRARY

libcrypto, -lcrypto

### SYNOPSIS

     #include

     long SSL_get_verify_result(const SSL *ssl);

### DESCRIPTION

SSL_get_verify_result() returns the result of the verification of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any.

### NOTES

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.

### BUGS

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).

### RETURN VALUES

The following return values can currently occur:

X509_V_OK The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.
Any other value Documented in openssl_verify(1).
