Name

gnutls_ocsp_resp_verify_direct — API function

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/ocsp.h>
int gnutls_ocsp_resp_verify_direct( gnutls_ocsp_resp_t resp,
  gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer,
  unsigned int * verify,
  unsigned int flags);
 

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_ocsp_resp_t resp

should contain a gnutls_ocsp_resp_t structure

gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer

certificate believed to have signed the response

unsigned int * verify

output variable with verification status, an gnutls_ocsp_cert_status_t

unsigned int flags

verification flags, 0 for now.

DESCRIPTION

Verify signature of the Basic OCSP Response against the public key in the issuer certificate.

The output verify variable will hold verification status codes (e.g., GNUTLS_OCSP_VERIFY_SIGNER_NOT_FOUND, GNUTLS_OCSP_VERIFY_INSECURE_ALGORITHM) which are only valid if the function returned GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS.

Note that the function returns GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS even when verification failed. The caller must always inspect the verify variable to find out the verification status.

The flags variable should be 0 for now.

RETURNS

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
