.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The certificate matching functions are used to check whether a
certificate matches a given hostname, email address, or \s-1IP\s0 address.
The validity of the certificate and its trust level has to be checked by
other means.
.PP
\&\fBX509_check_host()\fR checks if the certificate Subject Alternative
Name (\s-1SAN\s0) or Subject CommonName (\s-1CN\s0) matches the specified hostname,
which must be encoded in the preferred name syntax described
in section 3.5 of \s-1RFC 1034.\s0  By default, wildcards are supported
and they match  only in the left-most label; but they may match
part of that label with an explicit prefix or suffix.  For example,
by default, the host \fBname\fR \*(L"www.example.com\*(R" would match a
certificate with a \s-1SAN\s0 or \s-1CN\s0 value of \*(L"*.example.com\*(R", \*(L"w*.example.com\*(R"
or \*(L"*w.example.com\*(R".
.PP
Per section 6.4.2 of \s-1RFC 6125,\s0 \fBname\fR values representing international
domain names must be given in A\-label form.  The \fBnamelen\fR argument
must be the number of characters in the name string or zero in which
case the length is calculated with strlen(\fBname\fR).  When \fBname\fR starts
with a dot (e.g. \*(L".example.com\*(R"), it will be matched by a certificate
valid for any sub-domain of \fBname\fR, (see also
\&\fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_SINGLE_LABEL_SUBDOMAINS\fR below).
.PP
When the certificate is matched, and \fBpeername\fR is not \s-1NULL,\s0 a
pointer to a copy of the matching \s-1SAN\s0 or \s-1CN\s0 from the peer certificate
is stored at the address passed in \fBpeername\fR.  The application
is responsible for freeing the peername via \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR when it
is no longer needed.
.PP
\&\fBX509_check_email()\fR checks if the certificate matches the specified
email \fBaddress\fR. The mailbox syntax of \s-1RFC 822\s0 is supported,
comments are not allowed, and no attempt is made to normalize quoted
characters. The mailbox syntax of \s-1RFC 6531\s0 is supported for
SmtpUTF8Mailbox address in subjectAltName according to \s-1RFC 8398,\s0
with similar limitations as for \s-1RFC 822\s0 syntax, and no attempt
is made to convert from A\-label to U\-label before comparison.
The \fBaddresslen\fR argument must be the number of
characters in the address string or zero in which case the length
is calculated with strlen(\fBaddress\fR).
.PP
\&\fBX509_check_ip()\fR checks if the certificate matches a specified IPv4 or
IPv6 address.  The \fBaddress\fR array is in binary format, in network
byte order.  The length is either 4 (IPv4) or 16 (IPv6).  Only
explicitly marked addresses in the certificates are considered; \s-1IP\s0
addresses stored in \s-1DNS\s0 names and Common Names are ignored. There are
currently no \fBflags\fR that would affect the behavior of this call.
.PP
\&\fBX509_check_ip_asc()\fR is similar, except that the NUL-terminated
string \fBaddress\fR is first converted to the internal representation.
.PP
The \fBflags\fR argument is usually 0.  It can be the bitwise \s-1OR\s0 of the
flags:

.IX Item "X509_CHECK_FLAG_SINGLE_LABEL_SUBDOMAINS."
.PD
.PP
The \fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_ALWAYS_CHECK_SUBJECT\fR flag causes the function
to consider the subject \s-1DN\s0 even if the certificate contains at least
one subject alternative name of the right type (\s-1DNS\s0 name or email
address as appropriate); the default is to ignore the subject \s-1DN\s0
when at least one corresponding subject alternative names is present.
.PP
The \fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_NEVER_CHECK_SUBJECT\fR flag causes the function to never
consider the subject \s-1DN\s0 even if the certificate contains no subject alternative
names of the right type (\s-1DNS\s0 name or email address as appropriate); the default
is to use the subject \s-1DN\s0 when no corresponding subject alternative names are
present.
If both \fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_ALWAYS_CHECK_SUBJECT\fR and
\&\fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_NEVER_CHECK_SUBJECT\fR are specified, the latter takes
precedence and the subject \s-1DN\s0 is not checked for matching names.
.PP
If set, \fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_WILDCARDS\fR disables wildcard
expansion; this only applies to \fBX509_check_host\fR.
.PP
If set, \fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_PARTIAL_WILDCARDS\fR suppresses support
for \*(L"*\*(R" as wildcard pattern in labels that have a prefix or suffix,
such as: \*(L"www*\*(R" or \*(L"*www\*(R"; this only applies to \fBX509_check_host\fR.
.PP
If set, \fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_MULTI_LABEL_WILDCARDS\fR allows a \*(L"*\*(R" that
constitutes the complete label of a \s-1DNS\s0 name (e.g. \*(L"*.example.com\*(R")
to match more than one label in \fBname\fR; this flag only applies
to \fBX509_check_host\fR.
.PP
If set, \fBX509_CHECK_FLAG_SINGLE_LABEL_SUBDOMAINS\fR restricts \fBname\fR
values which start with \*(L".\*(R", that would otherwise match any sub-domain
in the peer certificate, to only match direct child sub-domains.
Thus, for instance, with this flag set a \fBname\fR of \*(L".example.com\*(R"
would match a peer certificate with a \s-1DNS\s0 name of \*(L"www.example.com\*(R",
but would not match a peer certificate with a \s-1DNS\s0 name of
\&\*(L"www.sub.example.com\*(R"; this flag only applies to \fBX509_check_host\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The functions return 1 for a successful match, 0 for a failed match
and \-1 for an internal error: typically a memory allocation failure
or an \s-1ASN.1\s0 decoding error.
.PP
All functions can also return \-2 if the input is malformed. For example,
\&\fBX509_check_host()\fR returns \-2 if the provided \fBname\fR contains embedded
NULs.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
Applications are encouraged to use \fBX509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host()\fR
rather than explicitly calling \fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3). Hostname
checks may be out of scope with the \s-1\fBDANE\-EE\s0\fR\|(3) certificate usage,
and the internal checks will be suppressed as appropriate when
\&\s-1DANE\s0 support is enabled.
