The authentication security level determines the acceptable signature and public key strength when verifying certificate chains.

The signature algorithm security level is enforced for all the certificates in the chain except for the chain's <i>trust anchor</i>, which is either directly trusted or validated by means other than its signature. See <a href="../man3/SSL_CTX_set_security_level.html">SSL_CTX_set_security_level(3)</a> for the definitions of the available levels. The default security level is -1, or "not set".

This allows all the problems with a certificate chain to be determined.</p> <p>The verify operation consists of a number of separate steps.</p> <p>Firstly a certificate chain is built up starting from the supplied certificate and ending in the root CA. It is an error if the whole chain cannot be built up. The chain is built up by looking up the issuers certificate of the current certificate. If a certificate is found which is its own issuer it is assumed to be the root CA.</p> <p>The process of 'looking up the issuers certificate' itself involves a number of steps. After all certificates whose subject name matches the issuer name of the current certificate are subject to further tests. The relevant authority key identifier components of the current certificate (if present) must match the subject key identifier (if present) and issuer and serial number of the candidate issuer, in addition the keyUsage extension of the candidate issuer (if present) must permit certificate signing.</p> <p>The lookup first looks in the list of untrusted certificates and if no match is found the remaining lookups are from the trusted certificates. The root CA is always looked up in the trusted certificate list: if the certificate to verify is a root certificate then an exact match must be found in the trusted list.</p> <p>The second operation is to check every untrusted certificate's extensions for consistency with the supplied purpose. If the <b>-purpose</b> option is not included then no checks are done. The supplied or "leaf" certificate must have extensions compatible with the supplied purpose and all other certificates must also be valid CA certificates. The precise extensions required are described in more detail in the <b>CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS</b> section of the <b>x509</b> utility.</p> <p>The third operation is to check the trust settings on the root CA. The root CA should be trusted for the supplied purpose. For compatibility with previous versions of OpenSSL, a certificate with no trust settings is considered to be valid for all purposes.</p> <p>The final operation is to check the validity of the certificate chain. For each element in the chain, including the root CA certificate, the validity period as specified by the <code>notBefore</code> and <code>notAfter</code> fields is checked against the current system time. The <b>-attime</b> flag may be used to use a reference time other than "now." The certificate signature is checked as well (except for the signature of the typically self-signed root CA certificate, which is verified only if the <b>-check_ss_sig</b> option is given).</p> <p>If all operations complete successfully then certificate is considered valid. If any operation fails then the certificate is not valid.</p> <h1 id="DIAGNOSTICS">DIAGNOSTICS</h1> <p>When a verify operation fails the output messages can be somewhat cryptic. The general form of the error message is:</p> <pre><code> server.pem: /C=AU/ST=Queensland/O=CryptSoft Pty Ltd/CN=Test CA (1024 bit) error 24 at 1 depth lookup:invalid CA certificate</code></pre> <p>The first line contains the name of the certificate being verified followed by the subject name of the certificate. The second line contains the error number and the depth. The depth is number of the certificate being verified when a problem was detected starting with zero for the certificate being verified itself then 1 for the CA that signed the certificate and so on. Finally a text version of the error number is presented.</p> <p>A partial list of the error codes and messages is shown below, this also includes the name of the error code as defined in the header file x509_vfy.h Some of the error codes are defined but never returned: these are described as "unused".</p> <dl> <dt id="X509_V_OK"><b>X509_V_OK</b></dt> <dd> <p>The operation was successful.</p> </dd> <dt id="X509_V_ERR_UNSPECIFIED"><b>X509_V_ERR_UNSPECIFIED</b></dt> <dd> <p>Unspecified error; should not happen.</p> </dd> <dt id="X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT"><b>X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT</b></dt> <dd> <p>The issuer certificate of a looked up certificate could not be found.
