NAME
       X509_STORE_CTX_get_error, X509_STORE_CTX_set_error,
       X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth, X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert,
       X509_STORE_CTX_get1_chain, X509_verify_cert_error_string - get or set

SYNOPSIS
	#include <openssl/x509.h>
	#include <openssl/x509_vfy.h>

	int    X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx);
	void   X509_STORE_CTX_set_error(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx,int s);
	int    X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx);
	X509 * X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx);

	STACK_OF(X509) *X509_STORE_CTX_get1_chain(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx);

	const char *X509_verify_cert_error_string(long n);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions are typically called after X509_verify_cert() has
       indicated an error or in a verification callback to determine the
       nature of an error.

       X509_STORE_CTX_get_error() returns the error code of ctx, see the ERROR
       CODES section for a full description of all error codes.

       X509_STORE_CTX_set_error() sets the error code of ctx to s. For example
       it might be used in a verification callback to set an error based on
       additional checks.

       X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth() returns the depth of the error. This
       is a non-negative integer representing where in the certificate chain
       the error occurred. If it is zero it occured in the end entity
       certificate, one if it is the certificate which signed the end entity
       certificate and so on.

       X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() returns the certificate in ctx which
       caused the error or NULL if no certificate is relevant.

       X509_STORE_CTX_get1_chain() returns a complete validate chain if a
       previous call to X509_verify_cert() is successful. If the call to
       X509_verify_cert() is not successful the returned chain may be
       incomplete or invalid. The returned chain persists after the ctx
       structure is freed, when it is no longer needed it should be free up
       using:

	 sk_X509_pop_free(chain, X509_free);

       X509_verify_cert_error_string() returns a human readable error string
       for verification error n.

RETURN VALUES
       X509_STORE_CTX_get_error() returns X509_V_OK or an error code.

       X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth() returns a non-negative error depth.

       X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() returns the cerificate which caused
       the error or NULL if no certificate is relevant to the error.

       X509_verify_cert_error_string() returns a human readable error string
       for verification error n.

ERROR CODES
       A list of error codes and messages is shown below.  Some of the error
       codes are defined but currently never returned: these are described as
       "unused".

       X509_V_OK: ok
	   the operation was successful.

       X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT: unable to get issuer certificate

	   the CRL of a certificate could not be found.

       X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_DECRYPT_CERT_SIGNATURE: unable to decrypt
       certificate's signature
	   the certificate signature could not be decrypted. This means that
	   the actual signature value could not be determined rather than it
	   not matching the expected value, this is only meaningful for RSA
	   keys.

       X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_DECRYPT_CRL_SIGNATURE: unable to decrypt CRL's
       signature
	   the CRL signature could not be decrypted: this means that the
	   actual signature value could not be determined rather than it not
	   matching the expected value.	 Unused.

       X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_DECODE_ISSUER_PUBLIC_KEY: unable to decode issuer
       public key
	   the public key in the certificate SubjectPublicKeyInfo could not be
	   read.

       X509_V_ERR_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE: certificate signature failure
	   the signature of the certificate is invalid.

       X509_V_ERR_CRL_SIGNATURE_FAILURE: CRL signature failure
	   the signature of the certificate is invalid.

       X509_V_ERR_CERT_NOT_YET_VALID: certificate is not yet valid
	   the certificate is not yet valid: the notBefore date is after the
	   current time.

       X509_V_ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED: certificate has expired
	   the certificate has expired: that is the notAfter date is before
	   the current time.

       X509_V_ERR_CRL_NOT_YET_VALID: CRL is not yet valid
	   the CRL is not yet valid.

       X509_V_ERR_CRL_HAS_EXPIRED: CRL has expired
	   the CRL has expired.

       X509_V_ERR_ERROR_IN_CERT_NOT_BEFORE_FIELD: format error in
       certificate's notBefore field
	   the certificate notBefore field contains an invalid time.

       X509_V_ERR_ERROR_IN_CERT_NOT_AFTER_FIELD: format error in certificate's
       notAfter field
	   the certificate notAfter field contains an invalid time.

       X509_V_ERR_ERROR_IN_CRL_LAST_UPDATE_FIELD: format error in CRL's
       lastUpdate field
	   the CRL lastUpdate field contains an invalid time.

       X509_V_ERR_ERROR_IN_CRL_NEXT_UPDATE_FIELD: format error in CRL's
       nextUpdate field
	   the CRL nextUpdate field contains an invalid time.

       X509_V_ERR_OUT_OF_MEM: out of memory
	   an error occurred trying to allocate memory. This should never
	   happen.

       X509_V_ERR_DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT: self signed certificate
	   the passed certificate is self signed and the same certificate
	   cannot be found in the list of trusted certificates.

       X509_V_ERR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN: self signed certificate in
       certificate chain
	   the certificate chain could be built up using the untrusted
	   certificates but the root could not be found locally.

       X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY: unable to get local
       issuer certificate
	   the issuer certificate of a locally looked up certificate could not
	   be found.  This normally means the list of trusted certificates is
	   not complete.

       X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE: unable to verify the first
       certificate
	   no signatures could be verified because the chain contains only one
	   certificate and it is not self signed.

       X509_V_ERR_CERT_CHAIN_TOO_LONG: certificate chain too long
	   the certificate chain length is greater than the supplied maximum
	   depth. Unused.

       X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED: certificate revoked
	   the certificate has been revoked.

       X509_V_ERR_INVALID_CA: invalid CA certificate
	   a CA certificate is invalid. Either it is not a CA or its
	   extensions are not consistent with the supplied purpose.

       X509_V_ERR_PATH_LENGTH_EXCEEDED: path length constraint exceeded
	   the basicConstraints pathlength parameter has been exceeded.

       X509_V_ERR_INVALID_PURPOSE: unsupported certificate purpose
	   the supplied certificate cannot be used for the specified purpose.

	   the root CA is not marked as trusted for the specified purpose.

       X509_V_ERR_CERT_REJECTED: certificate rejected
	   the root CA is marked to reject the specified purpose.

       X509_V_ERR_SUBJECT_ISSUER_MISMATCH: subject issuer mismatch
	   the current candidate issuer certificate was rejected because its
	   subject name did not match the issuer name of the current
	   certificate. This is only set if issuer check debugging is enabled
	   it is used for status notification and is not in itself an error.

       X509_V_ERR_AKID_SKID_MISMATCH: authority and subject key identifier
       mismatch
	   the current candidate issuer certificate was rejected because its
	   subject key identifier was present and did not match the authority
	   key identifier current certificate. This is only set if issuer
	   check debugging is enabled it is used for status notification and
	   is not in itself an error.

       X509_V_ERR_AKID_ISSUER_SERIAL_MISMATCH: authority and issuer serial
       number mismatch
	   the current candidate issuer certificate was rejected because its
	   issuer name and serial number was present and did not match the
	   authority key identifier of the current certificate. This is only
	   set if issuer check debugging is enabled it is used for status
	   notification and is not in itself an error.

       X509_V_ERR_KEYUSAGE_NO_CERTSIGN:key usage does not include certificate
       signing
	   the current candidate issuer certificate was rejected because its
	   keyUsage extension does not permit certificate signing. This is
	   only set if issuer check debugging is enabled it is used for status
	   notification and is not in itself an error.

       X509_V_ERR_INVALID_EXTENSION: invalid or inconsistent certificate
       extension
	   A certificate extension had an invalid value (for example an
	   incorrect encoding) or some value inconsistent with other
	   extensions.

       X509_V_ERR_INVALID_POLICY_EXTENSION: invalid or inconsistent
       certificate policy extension
	   A certificate policies extension had an invalid value (for example
	   an incorrect encoding) or some value inconsistent with other
	   extensions. This error only occurs if policy processing is enabled.

       X509_V_ERR_NO_EXPLICIT_POLICY: no explicit policy
	   The verification flags were set to require and explicit policy but
	   none was present.

       X509_V_ERR_DIFFERENT_CRL_SCOPE: Different CRL scope
	   The only CRLs that could be found did not match the scope of the
	   certificate.

       X509_V_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_EXTENSION_FEATURE: Unsupported extension feature
	   Some feature of a certificate extension is not supported. Unused.

       X509_V_ERR_PERMITTED_VIOLATION: permitted subtree violation
	   A name constraint violation occured in the permitted subtrees.

       X509_V_ERR_EXCLUDED_VIOLATION: excluded subtree violation
	   A name constraint violation occured in the excluded subtrees.

       X509_V_ERR_SUBTREE_MINMAX: name constraints minimum and maximum not
       supported
	   A certificate name constraints extension included a minimum or
	   maximum field: this is not supported.

       X509_V_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_CONSTRAINT_TYPE: unsupported name constraint
       type
	   An unsupported name constraint type was encountered. OpenSSL
	   currently only supports directory name, DNS name, email and URI
	   types.

       X509_V_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_CONSTRAINT_SYNTAX: unsupported or invalid name
       constraint syntax
	   The format of the name constraint is not recognised: for example an
	   email address format of a form not mentioned in RFC3280. This could
	   be caused by a garbage extension or some new feature not currently
	   supported.

       X509_V_ERR_CRL_PATH_VALIDATION_ERROR: CRL path validation error
	   An error occured when attempting to verify the CRL path. This error
	   can only happen if extended CRL checking is enabled.

       X509_V_ERR_APPLICATION_VERIFICATION: application verification failure
	   an application specific error. This will never be returned unless
	   explicitly set by an application.

NOTES
       The above functions should be used instead of directly referencing the
       fields in the X509_VERIFY_CTX structure.

       In versions of OpenSSL before 1.0 the current certificate returned by
       X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() was never NULL. Applications should
       check the return value before printing out any debugging information
       relating to the current certificate.

       If an unrecognised error code is passed to
       X509_verify_cert_error_string() the numerical value of the unknown code
       is returned in a static buffer. This is not thread safe but will never
       happen unless an invalid code is passed.
