  19. =head1 DESCRIPTION
  20. These functions manipulate the B<X509_VERIFY_PARAM> structure associated with
  21. a certificate verification operation.
  22. The X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags() function sets the flags in B<param> by oring
  23. it with B<flags>. See the B<VERIFICATION FLAGS> section for a complete
  24. description of values the B<flags> parameter can take.
  25. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_flags() returns the flags in B<param>.
  26. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_clear_flags() clears the flags B<flags> in B<param>.
  27. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_purpose() sets the verification purpose in B<param>
  28. to B<purpose>. This determines the acceptable purpose of the certificate
  29. chain, for example SSL client or SSL server.
  30. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_trust() sets the trust setting in B<param> to
  31. B<trust>.
  32. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_time() sets the verification time in B<param> to
  33. B<t>. Normally the current time is used.
  34. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() enables policy checking (it is disabled
  35. by default) and adds B<policy> to the acceptable policy set.
  36. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies() enables policy checking (it is disabled
  37. by default) and sets the acceptable policy set to B<policies>. Any existing
  38. policy set is cleared. The B<policies> parameter can be B<NULL> to clear
  39. an existing policy set.
  40. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_depth() sets the maximum verification depth to B<depth>.
  41. That is the maximum number of untrusted CA certificates that can appear in a
  42. chain.
  43. =head1 RETURN VALUES
  44. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_clear_flags(),
  45. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_purpose(), X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_trust(),
  46. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() and X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies() return 1
  47. for success and 0 for failure.
  48. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_flags() returns the current verification flags.
  49. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_time() and X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_depth() do not return
  50. values.
  51. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get_depth() returns the current verification depth.
  52. =head1 VERIFICATION FLAGS
  53. The verification flags consists of zero or more of the following flags
  54. ored together.
  55. B<X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK> enables CRL checking for the certificate chain leaf
  56. certificate. An error occurs if a suitable CRL cannot be found.
  57. B<X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK_ALL> enables CRL checking for the entire certificate
  58. chain.
  59. B<X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL> disabled critical extension checking. By default
  60. any unhandled critical extensions in certificates or (if checked) CRLs results
  61. in a fatal error. If this flag is set unhandled critical extensions are
  62. ignored. B<WARNING> setting this option for anything other than debugging
  63. purposes can be a security risk. Finer control over which extensions are
  64. supported can be performed in the verification callback.
  65. THe B<X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT> flag disables workarounds for some broken
  66. certificates and makes the verification strictly apply B<X509> rules.
  67. B<X509_V_FLAG_ALLOW_PROXY_CERTS> enables proxy certificate verification.
  68. B<X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK> enables certificate policy checking, by default
  69. no policy checking is peformed. Additional information is sent to the
  70. verification callback relating to policy checking.
  71. B<X509_V_FLAG_EXPLICIT_POLICY>, B<X509_V_FLAG_INHIBIT_ANY> and
  72. B<X509_V_FLAG_INHIBIT_MAP> set the B<require explicit policy>, B<inhibit any
  73. policy> and B<inhibit policy mapping> flags respectively as defined in
  74. B<RFC3280>. Policy checking is automatically enabled if any of these flags
  75. are set.
  76. If B<X509_V_FLAG_NOTIFY_POLICY> is set and the policy checking is successful
  77. a special status code is set to the verification callback. This permits it
  78. to examine the valid policy tree and perform additional checks or simply
  79. log it for debugging purposes.
  80. By default some additional features such as indirect CRLs and CRLs signed by
  81. different keys are disabled. If B<X509_V_FLAG_EXTENDED_CRL_SUPPORT> is set
  82. they are enabled.
  83. If B<X509_V_FLAG_USE_DELTAS> ise set delta CRLs (if present) are used to
  84. determine certificate status. If not set deltas are ignored.
  85. B<X509_V_FLAG_CHECK_SS_SIGNATURE> enables checking of the root CA self signed
  86. cerificate signature. By default this check is disabled because it doesn't
  87. add any additional security but in some cases applications might want to
  88. check the signature anyway. A side effect of not checking the root CA
  89. signature is that disabled or unsupported message digests on the root CA
  90. are not treated as fatal errors.
  91. The B<X509_V_FLAG_CB_ISSUER_CHECK> flag enables debugging of certificate
  92. issuer checks. It is B<not> needed unless you are logging certificate
  93. verification. If this flag is set then additional status codes will be sent
  94. to the verification callback and it B<must> be prepared to handle such cases
  95. without assuming they are hard errors.
  96. The B<X509_V_FLAG_NO_ALT_CHAINS> flag suppresses checking for alternative
  97. chains. By default, when building a certificate chain, if the first certificate
  98. chain found is not trusted, then OpenSSL will continue to check to see if an
  99. alternative chain can be found that is trusted. With this flag set the behaviour
  100. will match that of OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.1n and 1.0.2b.
  101. =head1 NOTES
  102. The above functions should be used to manipulate verification parameters
  103. instead of legacy functions which work in specific structures such as
  104. X509_STORE_CTX_set_flags().
  105. =head1 BUGS
  106. Delta CRL checking is currently primitive. Only a single delta can be used and
  107. (partly due to limitations of B<X509_STORE>) constructed CRLs are not
  108. maintained.
  109. If CRLs checking is enable CRLs are expected to be available in the
  110. corresponding B<X509_STORE> structure. No attempt is made to download
  111. CRLs from the CRL distribution points extension.
  112. =head1 EXAMPLE
  113. Enable CRL checking when performing certificate verification during SSL
  114. connections associated with an B<SSL_CTX> structure B<ctx>:
  115. X509_VERIFY_PARAM *param;
  116. param = X509_VERIFY_PARAM_new();
  117. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags(param, X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK);
  118. SSL_CTX_set1_param(ctx, param);
  119. X509_VERIFY_PARAM_free(param);
