If it is zero then an error condition is indicated. If it is 1 then no error occurred. If the flag <b>X509_V_FLAG_NOTIFY_POLICY</b> is set then <b>ok</b> is set to 2 to indicate the policy checking is complete.</p> <p>The <b>ctx</b> parameter to the callback is the <b>X509_STORE_CTX</b> structure that is performing the verification operation. A callback can examine this structure and receive additional information about the error, for example by calling X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert(). Additional application data can be passed to the callback via the <b>ex_data</b> mechanism.</p> <p>X509_STORE_CTX_get_verify_cb() returns the value of the current callback for the specific <b>ctx</b>.</p> <p>X509_STORE_CTX_get_get_issuer(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_issued(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_revocation(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_get_crl(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_crl(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_cert_crl(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_policy(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_lookup_certs(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_lookup_crls() and X509_STORE_CTX_get_cleanup() return the function pointers cached from the corresponding <b>X509_STORE</b>, please see <a href="../man3/X509_STORE_set_verify.html">X509_STORE_set_verify(3)</a> for more information.</p> <h1 id="WARNINGS">WARNINGS</h1> <p>In general a verification callback should <b>NOT</b> unconditionally return 1 in all circumstances because this will allow verification to succeed no matter what the error. This effectively removes all security from the application because <b>any</b> certificate (including untrusted generated ones) will be accepted.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>The verification callback can be set and inherited from the parent structure performing the operation. In some cases (such as S/MIME verification) the <b>X509_STORE_CTX</b> structure is created and destroyed internally and the only way to set a custom verification callback is by inheriting it from the associated <b>X509_STORE</b>.</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() does not return a value.</p> <h1 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h1> <p>Default callback operation:</p> <pre><code> int verify_callback(int ok, X509_STORE_CTX *ctx) { return ok; }</code></pre> <p>Simple example, suppose a certificate in the chain is expired and we wish to continue after this error:</p> <pre><code> int verify_callback(int ok, X509_STORE_CTX *ctx) { /* Tolerate certificate expiration */ if (X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(ctx) == X509_V_ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED) return 1; /* Otherwise don't override */ return ok; }</code></pre> <p>More complex example, we don't wish to continue after <b>any</b> certificate has expired just one specific case:</p> <pre><code> int verify_callback(int ok, X509_STORE_CTX *ctx) { int err = X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(ctx); X509 *err_cert = X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert(ctx); if (err == X509_V_ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED) { if (check_is_acceptable_expired_cert(err_cert) return 1; } return ok; }</code></pre> <p>Full featured logging callback.
