gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname2(3) gnutls gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname2(3)
NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname2 - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname2(3) cert, const
char * hostname, unsigned int flags);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
should contain an gnutls_x509_crt_t type
const char * hostname
A null terminated string that contains a DNS name
unsigned int flags
gnutls_certificate_verify_flags
DESCRIPTION
This function will check if the given certificate's subject matches the
given hostname. This is a basic implementation of the matching
described in RFC6125, and takes into account wildcards, and the
DNSName/IPAddress subject alternative name PKIX extension.
IPv4 addresses are accepted by this function in the dotted-decimal for-
mat (e.g, ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd), and IPv6 addresses in the hexadecimal
x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x format. For them the IPAddress subject alternative name
extension is consulted. Previous versions to 3.6.0 of GnuTLS in case of
a non-match would consult (in a non-standard extension) the DNSname and
CN fields. This is no longer the case.
When the flag GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_WILDCARDS is specified no
wildcards are considered. Otherwise they are only considered if the
domain name consists of three components or more, and the wildcard
starts at the leftmost position. When the flag GNUTLS_VER-
IFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_IP_MATCHES is specified, the input will be treated as
a DNS name, and matching of textual IP addresses against the IPAddress
part of the alternative name will not be allowed.
The function gnutls_x509_crt_check_ip() is available for matching IP
addresses.
RETURNS
non-zero for a successful match, and zero on failure.
SINCE
3.3.0
