gnutls_session_set_verify_cert(3)   gnutls   gnutls_session_set_verify_cert(3)

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_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() function is	intended to be used by
       TLS clients to verify the server's certificate.

SINCE
       3.4.6
