🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie 🫶, welcome to the SSL_SET_VERIFY_RESULT(3ossl) page from OpenSSL — the manual page for SSL_set_verify_result — and it's literally about one thing: override result of peer certificate verification. Periodt. ✨

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

#include <openssl/ssl.h>

void SSL_set_verify_result(SSL *ssl, long verify_result);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so SSL_set_verify_result() sets verify_result of the object ssl to be the result of the verification of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any. That's the whole entire assignment, and it ate 💅.

📝 NOTES 📝

Big note energy, bestie 🧚: SSL_set_verify_result() overrides the verification result. It only changes the verification result of the ssl object. It does not become part of the established session, so if the session is to be reused later, the original value will reappear. The valid codes for verify_result are documented in openssl-verify(1). No cap.

🫶 RETURN VALUES 🫶

SSL_set_verify_result() does not provide a return value. It literally gives you nothing back — not even a little guy 🙈.
