Thanks for answer, Stephen. Does it mean that if I want to perform Certificate Verification with Windows CryptoAPI I must manually extract certificate from handshake procedure or get it through callback function, change its format (to be compatible with WinAPI functions) and give it to WinAPI functions for next verifications of certificate with Windows CryptoAPI?

Note that the ENGINE API currently only accesses keys and not
certificates. The CryptoAPI ENGINE can be used to redirect operations to
private keys stored on Windows.
