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_certificate_ver-
		 ify_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  hand-
     shakes.  If  no hostname is provided, no hostname verification will be per-
     formed.  For  a  more  advanced  verification  function  check  gnutls_ses-
     sion_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
