Hello everyone, I am writing a client-server application in C++ with open-ssl to secure the connection.
At this stage I successfully implemented all communication between my server and client with ssl encryption, but I am still missing a feature : checking the certificate of my server. As I am using this for securing a connection between my server and my client application installed on different machines, I do not plan to get a certificate from verisign or another ssl authority : I plan to generate my self-signed certificate and to embed it in my client. Now, my problem is that, when I configure openssl to check the peer certificate, with the SSL_set_verify command and the SSL_VERIFY_PEER option, I get the error X509_V_ERR_DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT when handshaking the connection on the client side. My understanding of this error is that, by default, open-ssl is not accepting self-signed certificates. So, my question is how can I configure open-ssl to accept self-signed certificates ? Thanks in advance, Brice ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
