DESCRIPTION

X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify() configures ctx to use the verify argument as the X.509 certificate chain verification function instead of the default verification function built into the library when X509_verify_cert(3) is called.

The verify function provided by the user is only called if the X509_V_FLAG_LEGACY_VERIFY or X509_V_FLAG_NO_ALT_CHAINS flag was set on ctx using X509_STORE_CTX_set_flags(3) or X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags(3). Otherwise, it is ignored and a different algorithm is used that does not support replacing the verification function.

X509_STORE_set_verify() saves the function pointer verify in the given store object. That pointer will be copied to an X509_STORE_CTX object when store is later passed as an argument to X509_STORE_CTX_init(3).

X509_STORE_set_verify_func() is an alias for X509_STORE_set_verify() implemented as a macro.

X509_STORE_set_check_issued() saves the function pointer check_issued in the given store object. That pointer will be copied to an X509_STORE_CTX object when store is later passed as an argument to X509_STORE_CTX_init(3).

The check_issued function provided by the user should check whether a given certificate subject was issued using the CA certificate issuer, and must return 0 on failure and 1 on success.

RETURN VALUES

X509_STORE_CTX_verify_fn() is supposed to return 1 to indicate that the chain is valid or 0 if it is not or if an error occurred.

X509_STORE_CTX_get_verify() returns a function pointer previously set with X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify() or X509_STORE_CTX_init(3), or NULL if ctx is uninitialized.

X509_STORE_get_verify() returns the function pointer previously set with X509_STORE_set_verify(), or NULL if that function was not called on the store.

X509_STORE_get_check_issued() returns the function pointer previously set with X509_STORE_set_check_issued(), or NULL if that function was not called on the store.

X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_issued() returns the check_issued() function pointer set on the X509_STORE_CTX. This is either the check_issued() function inherited from the store used in X509_STORE_CTX_init(3) or the library's default implementation.
