- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- These functions configure server hostname checks in the SSL client.
- .PP
- \&\fBSSL_set1_host()\fR sets the expected DNS hostname to \fBname\fR clearing
- any previously specified hostname. If \fBname\fR is NULL
- or the empty string, the list of hostnames is cleared and name
- checks are not performed on the peer certificate. When a nonempty
- \&\fBname\fR is specified, certificate verification automatically checks
- the peer hostname via \fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3) with \fBflags\fR as specified
- via \fBSSL_set_hostflags()\fR. Clients that enable DANE TLSA authentication
- via \fBSSL_dane_enable\fR\|(3) should leave it to that function to set
- the primary reference identifier of the peer, and should not call
- \&\fBSSL_set1_host()\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBSSL_add1_host()\fR adds \fBname\fR as an additional reference identifier
- that can match the peer's certificate. Any previous names set via
- \&\fBSSL_set1_host()\fR or \fBSSL_add1_host()\fR are retained, no change is made
- if \fBname\fR is NULL or empty. When multiple names are configured,
- the peer is considered verified when any name matches. This function
- is required for DANE TLSA in the presence of service name indirection
- via CNAME, MX or SRV records as specified in RFC7671, RFC7672 or
- RFC7673.
- .PP
- \&\fBSSL_set_hostflags()\fR sets the \fBflags\fR that will be passed to
- \&\fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3) when name checks are applicable, by default
- the \fBflags\fR value is 0. See \fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3) for the list
- of available flags and their meaning.
- .PP
- \&\fBSSL_get0_peername()\fR returns the DNS hostname or subject CommonName
- from the peer certificate that matched one of the reference
- identifiers. When wildcard matching is not disabled, the name
- matched in the peer certificate may be a wildcard name. When one
- of the reference identifiers configured via \fBSSL_set1_host()\fR or
- \&\fBSSL_add1_host()\fR starts with ".", which indicates a parent domain prefix
- rather than a fixed name, the matched peer name may be a sub-domain
- of the reference identifier. The returned string is allocated by
- the library and is no longer valid once the associated \fBssl\fR handle
- is cleared or freed, or a renegotiation takes place. Applications
- must not free the return value.
- .PP
- SSL clients are advised to use these functions in preference to
- explicitly calling \fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3). Hostname checks may be out
- of scope with the RFC7671 \fBDANE\-EE\fR\|(3) certificate usage, and the
- internal check will be suppressed as appropriate when DANE is
- enabled.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBSSL_set1_host()\fR and \fBSSL_add1_host()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for
- failure.
- .PP
- \&\fBSSL_get0_peername()\fR returns NULL if peername verification is not
- applicable (as with RFC7671 \fBDANE\-EE\fR\|(3)), or no trusted peername was
- matched. Otherwise, it returns the matched peername. To determine
- whether verification succeeded call \fBSSL_get_verify_result\fR\|(3).
- .SH EXAMPLES
- .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
- Suppose "smtp.example.com" is the MX host of the domain "example.com".
- The calls below will arrange to match either the MX hostname or the
- destination domain name in the SMTP server certificate. Wildcards
- are supported, but must match the entire label. The actual name
- matched in the certificate (which might be a wildcard) is retrieved,
- and must be copied by the application if it is to be retained beyond
- the lifetime of the SSL connection.
