The X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags() function sets the flags in B by oring it with B. See the B section for a complete description of values the B parameter can take. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_flags() returns the flags in B. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_clear_flags() clears the flags B in B. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_purpose() sets the verification purpose in B to B. This determines the acceptable purpose of the certificate chain, for example SSL client or SSL server. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_trust() sets the trust setting in B to B. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_time() sets the verification time in B to B. Normally the current time is used. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() enables policy checking (it is disabled by default) and adds B to the acceptable policy set. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies() enables policy checking (it is disabled by default) and sets the acceptable policy set to B. Any existing policy set is cleared. The B parameter can be B to clear an existing policy set. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_depth() sets the maximum verification depth to B. That is the maximum number of untrusted CA certificates that can appear in a chain. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host() sets the expected DNS hostname to B clearing any previously specified host name or names. If B is NULL, or empty the list of hostnames is cleared, and name checks are not performed on the peer certificate. If B is NUL-terminated, B may be zero, otherwise B must be set to the length of B. When a hostname is specified, certificate verification automatically invokes L with flags equal to the B argument given to X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_hostflags() (default zero). Applications are strongly advised to use this interface in preference to explicitly calling L, hostname checks are out of scope with the DANE-EE(3) certificate usage, and the internal check will be suppressed as appropriate when DANE support is added to OpenSSL. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add1_host() adds B as an additional reference identifier that can match the peer's certificate. Any previous names set via X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host() or X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add1_host() are retained, no change is made if B is NULL or empty. When multiple names are configured, the peer is considered verified when any name matches. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get0_peername() returns the DNS hostname or subject CommonName from the peer certificate that matched one of the reference identifiers. When wildcard matching is not disabled, or when a reference identifier specifies a parent domain (starts with ".") rather than a hostname, the peer name may be a wildcard name or a sub-domain of the reference identifier respectively. The return string is allocated by the library and is no longer valid once the associated B argument is freed. Applications must not free the return value. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_email() sets the expected RFC822 email address to B. If B is NUL-terminated, B may be zero, otherwise B must be set to the length of B. When an email address is specified, certificate verification automatically invokes L. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_ip() sets the expected IP address to B. The B argument is in binary format, in network byte-order and B must be set to 4 for IPv4 and 16 for IPv6. When an IP address is specified, certificate verification automatically invokes L. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_ip_asc() sets the expected IP address to B. The B argument is a NUL-terminal ASCII string: dotted decimal quad for IPv4 and colon-separated hexadecimal for IPv6. The condensed "::" notation is supported for IPv6 addresses. =head1 RETURN VALUES X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_clear_flags(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_purpose(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_trust(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add1_host(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_email(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_ip() and X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_ip_asc() return 1 for success and 0 for failure. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_flags() returns the current verification flags. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_time() and X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_depth() do not return values. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_depth() returns the current verification depth. =head1 VERIFICATION FLAGS The verification flags consists of zero or more of the following flags ored together. B enables CRL checking for the certificate chain leaf certificate. An error occurs if a suitable CRL cannot be found. B enables CRL checking for the entire certificate chain. B disabled critical extension checking. By default any unhandled critical extensions in certificates or (if checked) CRLs results in a fatal error. If this flag is set unhandled critical extensions are ignored. B setting this option for anything other than debugging purposes can be a security risk. Finer control over which extensions are supported can be performed in the verification callback. The B flag disables workarounds for some broken certificates and makes the verification strictly apply B rules. B enables proxy certificate verification. B enables certificate policy checking, by default no policy checking is performed. Additional information is sent to the verification callback relating to policy checking. B, B and B set the B, B and B flags respectively as defined in B. Policy checking is automatically enabled if any of these flags are set. If B is set and the policy checking is successful a special status code is set to the verification callback. This permits it to examine the valid policy tree and perform additional checks or simply log it for debugging purposes. By default some additional features such as indirect CRLs and CRLs signed by different keys are disabled. If B is set they are enabled. If B is set delta CRLs (if present) are used to determine certificate status. If not set deltas are ignored. B enables checking of the root CA self signed certificate signature. By default this check is disabled because it doesn't add any additional security but in some cases applications might want to check the signature anyway. A side effect of not checking the root CA signature is that disabled or unsupported message digests on the root CA are not treated as fatal errors. The B flag enables debugging of certificate issuer checks. It is B needed unless you are logging certificate verification. If this flag is set then additional status codes will be sent to the verification callback and it B be prepared to handle such cases without assuming they are hard errors. If B is set, when constructing the certificate chain, L will search the trust store for issuer certificates before searching the provided untrusted certificates. As of OpenSSL 1.1.0 this option is on by default and cannot be disabled. The B flag suppresses checking for alternative chains. By default, unless B is set, when building a certificate chain, if the first certificate chain found is not trusted, then OpenSSL will attempt to replace untrusted certificates supplied by the peer with certificates from the trust store to see if an alternative chain can be found that is trusted. As of OpenSSL 1.1.0, with B always set, this option has no effect. The B flag suppresses checking the validity period of certificates and CRLs against the current time. If X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_time() is used to specify a verification time, the check is not suppressed. =head1 NOTES The above functions should be used to manipulate verification parameters instead of legacy functions which work in specific structures such as X509_STORE_CTX_set_flags(). =head1 BUGS Delta CRL checking is currently primitive. Only a single delta can be used and (partly due to limitations of B) constructed CRLs are not maintained. If CRLs checking is enable CRLs are expected to be available in the corresponding B structure. No attempt is made to download CRLs from the CRL distribution points extension. =head1 EXAMPLE Enable CRL checking when performing certificate verification during SSL connections associated with an B structure B: X509_VERIFY_PARAM *param; param = X509_VERIFY_PARAM_new(); X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags(param, X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK); SSL_CTX_set1_param(ctx, param); X509_VERIFY_PARAM_free(param); =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L =head1 HISTORY The B flag was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0 =cut
