# [NAME](#NAME)

gnutls\_session\_set\_verify\_cert2 - API function

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>**

**void gnutls\_session\_set\_verify\_cert2(gnutls\_session\_t session, gnutls\_typed\_vdata\_st * data, unsigned elements, unsigned flags);**

# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

[gnutls\_session\_t session](#gnutls_session_t)

is a gnutls session

[gnutls\_typed\_vdata\_st * data](#gnutls_typed_vdata_st)

an array of typed data

[unsigned elements](#unsigned)

the number of data elements

[unsigned flags](#unsigned~2)

flags for certificate verification -- **gnutls\_certificate\_verify\_flags**

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This function instructs GnuTLS to verify the peer's certificate using the provided typed data information. If the verification fails the handshake will also fail with **GNUTLS\_E\_CERTIFICATE\_VERIFICATION\_ERROR**. In that case the verification result can be obtained using **gnutls\_session\_get\_verify\_cert\_status()**.

The acceptable typed data are the same as in **gnutls\_certificate\_verify\_peers()**, and once set must remain valid for the lifetime of the session. More precisely they should be available during any subsequent handshakes.

If *flags* is provided which contain a profile, this function should be called after any session priority setting functions.
