178 .IP "\fB\-CApath directory\fR" 4
179 .IX Item "-CApath directory"
180 A directory of trusted certificates. The certificates should have names
181 of the form: hash.0 or have symbolic links to them of this
182 form (\*(L"hash\*(R" is the hashed certificate subject name: see the \fB\-hash\fR option
183 of the \fBx509\fR utility). Under Unix the \fBc_rehash\fR script will automatically
184 create symbolic links to a directory of certificates.

192 in \s-1PEM\s0 format concatenated together.
193 .IP "\fB\-purpose purpose\fR" 4
194 .IX Item "-purpose purpose"
195 The intended use for the certificate. If this option is not specified,
196 \&\fBverify\fR will not consider certificate purpose during chain verification.
197 Currently accepted uses are \fBsslclient\fR, \fBsslserver\fR, \fBnssslserver\fR,
198 \&\fBsmimesign\fR, \fBsmimeencrypt\fR. See the \fB\s-1VERIFY OPERATION\s0\fR section for more
199 information.

204 .IX Item "-verbose"
205 Print extra information about the operations being performed.
206 .IP "\fB\-issuer_checks\fR" 4
207 .IX Item "-issuer_checks"
208 Print out diagnostics relating to searches for the issuer certificate of the
209 current certificate. This shows why each candidate issuer certificate was
210 rejected. The presence of rejection messages does not itself imply that
211 anything is wrong; during the normal verification process, several
212 rejections may take place.
213 .IP "\fB\-attime timestamp\fR" 4
214 .IX Item "-attime timestamp"
215 Perform validation checks using time specified by \fBtimestamp\fR and not
216 current system time. \fBtimestamp\fR is the number of seconds since
217 01.01.1970 (\s-1UNIX\s0 time).

235 .IP "\fB\-no_alt_chains\fR" 4
236 .IX Item "-no_alt_chains"
237 When building a certificate chain, if the first certificate chain found is not
238 trusted, then OpenSSL will continue to check to see if an alternative chain can
239 be found that is trusted. With this option that behaviour is suppressed so that
240 only the first chain found is ever used. Using this option will force the
241 behaviour to match that of previous OpenSSL versions.
242 .IP "\fB\-policy_print\fR" 4
243 .IX Item "-policy_print"
244 Print out diagnostics related to policy processing.
245 .IP "\fB\-crl_check\fR" 4
246 .IX Item "-crl_check"
247 Checks end entity certificate validity by attempting to look up a valid \s-1CRL.\s0
248 If a valid \s-1CRL\s0 cannot be found an error occurs.
249 .IP "\fB\-crl_check_all\fR" 4
250 .IX Item "-crl_check_all"
251 Checks the validity of \fBall\fR certificates in the chain by attempting
252 to look up valid CRLs.
253 .IP "\fB\-ignore_critical\fR" 4
254 .IX Item "-ignore_critical"
255 Normally if an unhandled critical extension is present which is not
256 supported by OpenSSL the certificate is rejected (as required by \s-1RFC5280\s0).
257 If this option is set critical extensions are ignored.
258 .IP "\fB\-x509_strict\fR" 4
259 .IX Item "-x509_strict"

269 .IP "\fB\-check_ss_sig\fR" 4
270 .IX Item "-check_ss_sig"
271 Verify the signature on the self-signed root \s-1CA.\s0 This is disabled by default
272 because it doesn't add any security.
273 .IP "\fB\-\fR" 4
274 .IX Item "-"
275 Indicates the last option. All arguments following this are assumed to be
276 certificate files. This is useful if the first certificate filename begins
277 with a \fB\-\fR.
278 .IP "\fBcertificates\fR" 4
279 .IX Item "certificates"
280 One or more certificates to verify. If no certificates are given, \fBverify\fR
281 will attempt to read a certificate from standard input. Certificates must be
282 in \s-1PEM\s0 format.
283 .SH "VERIFY OPERATION"
284 .IX Header "VERIFY OPERATION"
285 The \fBverify\fR program uses the same functions as the internal \s-1SSL\s0 and S/MIME
286 verification, therefore this description applies to these verify operations
287 too.
288 .PP
289 There is one crucial difference between the verify operations performed
290 by the \fBverify\fR program: wherever possible an attempt is made to continue
291 after an error whereas normally the verify operation would halt on the
292 first error. This allows all the problems with a certificate chain to be
293 determined.
294 .PP
295 The verify operation consists of a number of separate steps.
296 .PP
297 Firstly a certificate chain is built up starting from the supplied certificate
298 and ending in the root \s-1CA.\s0 It is an error if the whole chain cannot be built
299 up. The chain is built up by looking up the issuers certificate of the current
300 certificate. If a certificate is found which is its own issuer it is assumed
301 to be the root \s-1CA.\s0
302 .PP
303 The process of 'looking up the issuers certificate' itself involves a number
304 of steps. In versions of OpenSSL before 0.9.5a the first certificate whose
305 subject name matched the issuer of the current certificate was assumed to be
306 the issuers certificate. In OpenSSL 0.9.6 and later all certificates
307 whose subject name matches the issuer name of the current certificate are
308 subject to further tests. The relevant authority key identifier components
309 of the current certificate (if present) must match the subject key identifier
310 (if present) and issuer and serial number of the candidate issuer, in addition
311 the keyUsage extension of the candidate issuer (if present) must permit
312 certificate signing.
313 .PP
314 The lookup first looks in the list of untrusted certificates and if no match
315 is found the remaining lookups are from the trusted certificates. The root \s-1CA\s0
316 is always looked up in the trusted certificate list: if the certificate to
317 verify is a root certificate then an exact match must be found in the trusted
318 list.
319 .PP
320 The second operation is to check every untrusted certificate's extensions for
321 consistency with the supplied purpose. If the \fB\-purpose\fR option is not included
322 then no checks are done. The supplied or \*(L"leaf\*(R" certificate must have extensions
323 compatible with the supplied purpose and all other certificates must also be valid
324 \&\s-1CA\s0 certificates. The precise extensions required are described in more detail in
325 the \fB\s-1CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS\s0\fR section of the \fBx509\fR utility.
326 .PP
327 The third operation is to check the trust settings on the root \s-1CA.\s0 The root
328 \&\s-1CA\s0 should be trusted for the supplied purpose. For compatibility with previous
329 versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL a certificate with no trust settings is considered
330 to be valid for all purposes.
331 .PP
332 The final operation is to check the validity of the certificate chain. The validity
333 period is checked against the current system time and the notBefore and notAfter
334 dates in the certificate. The certificate signatures are also checked at this
335 point.
336 .PP
337 If all operations complete successfully then certificate is considered valid. If
338 any operation fails then the certificate is not valid.
339 .SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
340 .IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS"
341 When a verify operation fails the output messages can be somewhat cryptic. The
342 general form of the error message is:
343 .PP
344 .Vb 2
345 \& server.pem: /C=AU/ST=Queensland/O=CryptSoft Pty Ltd/CN=Test CA (1024 bit)
346 \& error 24 at 1 depth lookup:invalid CA certificate
347 .Ve
348 .PP
349 The first line contains the name of the certificate being verified followed by
350 the subject name of the certificate. The second line contains the error number
351 and the depth. The depth is number of the certificate being verified when a
352 problem was detected starting with zero for the certificate being verified itself
353 then 1 for the \s-1CA\s0 that signed the certificate and so on. Finally a text version
354 of the error number is presented.
355 .PP
356 An exhaustive list of the error codes and messages is shown below, this also
357 includes the name of the error code as defined in the header file x509_vfy.h
358 Some of the error codes are defined but never returned: these are described
359 as \*(L"unused\*(R".
360 .IP "\fB0 X509_V_OK: ok\fR" 4
361 .IX Item "0 X509_V_OK: ok"
362 the operation was successful.

364 .IX Item "2 X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT: unable to get issuer certificate"
365 the issuer certificate of a looked up certificate could not be found. This
366 normally means the list of trusted certificates is not complete.

368 .IX Item "3 X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_CRL: unable to get certificate CRL"

371 .IX Item "4 X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_DECRYPT_CERT_SIGNATURE: unable to decrypt certificate's signature"
372 the certificate signature could not be decrypted. This means that the actual signature value
373 could not be determined rather than it not matching the expected value, this is only
374 meaningful for \s-1RSA\s0 keys.
375 .IP "\fB5 X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_DECRYPT_CRL_SIGNATURE: unable to decrypt \s-1CRL\s0's signature\fR" 4
376 .IX Item "5 X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_DECRYPT_CRL_SIGNATURE: unable to decrypt CRL's signature"
377 the \s-1CRL\s0 signature could not be decrypted: this means that the actual signature value
378 could not be determined rather than it not matching the expected value. Unused.

474 an application specific error. Unused.
475 .SH "BUGS"
476 .IX Header "BUGS"
477 Although the issuer checks are a considerable improvement over the old technique they still
478 suffer from limitations in the underlying X509_LOOKUP \s-1API.\s0 One consequence of this is that
479 trusted certificates with matching subject name must either appear in a file (as specified by the
480 \&\fB\-CAfile\fR option) or a directory (as specified by \fB\-CApath\fR. If they occur in both then only
481 the certificates in the file will be recognised.
482 .PP
483 Previous versions of OpenSSL assume certificates with matching subject name are identical and
484 mishandled them.
