Hi Victor,

thanks :D I just tried to set it and I get a different error now : 22 (certificate chain too long)... I suspect it is a side effect of using theĀ  X509_V_FLAG_PARTIAL_CHAIN flag... ? (no chain restrictions are set in the certificates themselves...), but I have not dug into the vfy code yet...

... any suggestion on how to fix this ? Do you think it is actually a bug ? ... or am I missing some other configs / setting I should have done for the verify param ?

Cheers,
Max

Hi all,

I am trying to verify a certificate and provide the possibility to directly trust an intermediate CA's 
certificate (not self-signed). After setting up the STORE and STORE_CTX and add the intermediate CA to the 
trusted certificates, when I use the "X509_verify_cert(ctx)" I get the usual "unable to get 
issuer certificate" - which would be fine for a "non-trusted" cert, but I would expect that to 
not be an issue for a trusted certificate.

Therefore, my question is what is the best method to have that behavior ?

I tried to use the certificate callback to do that, but there is no function to 
get the trusted certificates' stack (i.e., there is a 
X509_STORE_CTX_get0_untrusted() but there is no equivalent for the trusted 
certificates' stack) - so I could not verify if the current certificate (in the 
verify callback call) is in the trusted stack or not...

Maybe there are flags / trust settings that can be used instead ?
It seems we've neglected to document the X509_V_FLAG_PARTIAL_CHAIN
flag, which can be passed to X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags() to
permit intermediate trust-anchors.
