NAME

       gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       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  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().

       This  function will take into account the OCSP Certificate Status TLS extension, as well as the following
       X.509 certificate extensions: Name Constraints, Key Usage, and Basic Constraints (pathlen).

       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, see gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname(), or use gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3().

RETURNS

       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.
