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.
