libressl-X509_STORE_set_verify_cb_func3

Set verification callback

Usage

Crypto Library (libcrypto, -lcrypto)

#include <openssl/x509_vfy.h>

void

X509_STORE_set_verify_cb(X509_STORE *st, X509_STORE_CTX_verify_cb verify_cb);

void

X509_STORE_set_verify_cb_func(X509_STORE *st, X509_STORE_CTX_verify_cb verify_cb);

X509_STORE_CTX_verify_cb

X509_STORE_get_verify_cb(X509_STORE *st);

Overview

X509_STORE_set_verify_cb() sets the verification callback of ctx to verify_cb, overwriting any existing callback.

X509_STORE_set_verify_cb_func() also sets the verification callback but it is implemented as a macro.

The verification callback from an X509_STORE is inherited by the corresponding X509_STORE_CTX structure when it is initialized. This can be used to set the verification callback when the X509_STORE_CTX is otherwise inaccessible (for example during S/MIME verification).

Return values

X509_STORE_get_verify_cb() returns the function pointer set with X509_STORE_set_verify_cb(), or NULL if that function was not called on st.
