- .SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
- .IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS"
- When a verify operation fails the output messages can be somewhat cryptic. The
- general form of the error message is:
- .PP
- .Vb 2
- \& server.pem: /C=AU/ST=Queensland/O=CryptSoft Pty Ltd/CN=Test CA (1024 bit)
- \& error 24 at 1 depth lookup:invalid CA certificate
- .Ve
- .PP
- 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 target (\*(L"leaf\*(R") certificate
- itself then 1 for the \s-1CA\s0 that signed the target certificate and so on.
- Finally a textual version of the error number is presented.
- .PP
- A list of the error codes and messages can be found in
- \&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_error\fR\|(3); the full list is defined in the header file
- \&\fI<openssl/x509_vfy.h>\fR.
- .PP
- This command ignores many errors, in order to allow all the problems with a
- certificate chain to be determined.
