NAME

       gnutls_session_set_verify_cert - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       gnutls_session_set_verify_cert(3)  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_certifi-
                   cate_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_ver-
       ify_cert_status().

       The   hostname  pointer  provided must remain valid for the lifetime of
       the session. More precisely it should be available  during  any  subse-
       quent  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(3) function is intended to be used by
       TLS clients to verify the server's certificate.
