# SSL\_set\_verify\_result(3ssl)

override result of peer certificate verification

## NAME

SSL\_set\_verify\_result - override result of peer certificate verification

## SYNOPSIS

```
 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
 void SSL_set_verify_result(SSL *ssl, long verify_result);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**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.

## NOTES

**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).

## RETURN VALUES

**SSL\_set\_verify\_result()** does not provide a return value.

## SEE ALSO
