gnutls_session_set_verify_cert(3) gnutls gnutls_session_set_verify_cert(3)
NAME
gnutls_session_set_verify_cert - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
gnutls_session_set_verify_cert(3) 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_certifi-
cate_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_ver-
ify_cert_status().
The hostname pointer provided must remain valid for the lifetime of
the session. More precisely it should be available during any subse-
quent 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(3) function is intended to be used by
TLS clients to verify the server's certificate.

3.4.6
