NAME

       gnutls_session_set_verify_cert - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_session_set_verify_cert(gnutls_session_t session, const char * hostname, unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls session

       const char * hostname
                   is the expected name of the peer; may be NULL

       unsigned flags
                   flags for certificate verification -- gnutls_certificate_verify_flags

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  instructs  GnuTLS  to  verify  the peer's certificate using the provided hostname. If the
       verification fails the handshake will also fail  with  GNUTLS_E_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_ERROR.  In  that
       case the verification result can be obtained using gnutls_session_get_verify_cert_status().

       The   hostname  pointer  provided  must  remain  valid for the lifetime of the session. More precisely it
       should be  available  during  any  subsequent  handshakes.  If  no  hostname  is  provided,  no  hostname
       verification    will    be    performed.    For    a    more   advanced   verification   function   check
       gnutls_session_set_verify_cert2().

       If  flags is provided which contain a profile, this function should be called after any session  priority
       setting functions.

       The  gnutls_session_set_verify_cert()  function  is  intended  to  be  used  by TLS clients to verify the
       server's certificate.
