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