This function will check if the given certificate's subject matches the given hostname. This is a basic implementation of the matching described in RFC6125, and takes into account wildcards, and the DNSName/IPAddress subject alternative name PKIX extension.

IPv4 addresses are accepted by this function in the dotted-decimal format (e.g, ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd), and IPv6 addresses in the hexadecimal x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x format. For them the IPAddress subject alternative name extension is consulted. Previous versions to 3.6.0 of GnuTLS in case of a non-match would consult (in a non-standard extension) the DNSname and CN fields. This is no longer the case.

When the flag GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_WILDCARDS is specified no wildcards are considered. Otherwise they are only considered if the domain name consists of three components or more, and the wildcard starts at the leftmost position.

When the flag GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_IP_MATCHES is specified, the input will be treated as a DNS name, and matching of textual IP addresses against the IPAddress part of the alternative name will not be allowed.

The function gnutls_x509_crt_check_ip() is available for matching IP addresses.

This function will return the X.509 authority key identifier when stored as a general name (authorityCertIssuer) and serial number.

Because more than one general names might be stored seq can be used as a counter to request them all until GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.

                                       size_t *buf_size);

This function will extract the subjectUniqueID value (if present) for the given certificate.

If the user allocated memory buffer is not large enough to hold the full subjectUniqueID, then a GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER error will be returned, and buf_size will be set to the actual length.

This function had a bug prior to 3.4.8 that prevented the setting of NULL buf to discover the buf_size . To use this function safely with the older versions the buf must be a valid buffer that can hold at least a single byte if buf_size is zero.

                                unsigned int *critical);

Note that a simpler API to access the authority info data is provided by gnutls_x509_aia_get() and gnutls_x509_ext_import_aia().

This function extracts the Authority Information Access (AIA) extension, see RFC 5280 section 4.2.2.1 for more information. The AIA extension holds a sequence of AccessDescription (AD) data.

The seq input parameter is used to indicate which member of the sequence the caller is interested in. The first member is 0, the second member 1 and so on. When the seq value is out of bounds, GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.

The type of data returned in data is specified via what which should be gnutls_info_access_what_t values.

If what is GNUTLS_IA_ACCESSMETHOD_OID then data will hold the accessMethod OID (e.g., "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1").

If what is GNUTLS_IA_ACCESSLOCATION_GENERALNAME_TYPE, data will hold the accessLocation GeneralName type (e.g., "uniformResourceIdentifier").

If what is GNUTLS_IA_URI, data will hold the accessLocation URI data. Requesting this what value leads to an error if the accessLocation is not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type.

If what is GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI, data will hold the OCSP URI. Requesting this what value leads to an error if the accessMethod is not 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1 aka OCSP, or if accessLocation is not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type. In that case GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM will be returned, and seq should be increased and this function called again.

If what is GNUTLS_IA_CAISSUERS_URI, data will hold the caIssuers URI. Requesting this what value leads to an error if the accessMethod is not 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2 aka caIssuers, or if accessLocation is not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type. In that case handle as in GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI.

More what values may be allocated in the future as needed.

If data is NULL, the function does the same without storing the output data, that is, it will set critical and do error checking as usual.

The value of the critical flag is returned in *critical . Supply a NULL critical if you want the function to make sure the extension is non-critical, as required by RFC 5280.

                                      unsigned int *critical);

This function will return an intermediate type containing the name constraints of the provided CA certificate. That structure can be used in combination with gnutls_x509_name_constraints_check() to verify whether a server's name is in accordance with the constraints.

When the flags is set to GNUTLS_EXT_FLAG_APPEND, then if the nc structure is empty this function will behave identically as if the flag was not set. Otherwise if there are elements in the nc structure then the constraints will be merged with the existing constraints following RFC5280 p6.1.4 (excluded constraints will be appended, permitted will be intersected).

This function will sign the CRL with the issuer's private key, and will copy the issuer's information into the CRL.

This must be the last step in a certificate CRL since all the previously set parameters are now signed.

A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed CRL will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until it is exported an re-imported.

After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN, and in that case, a suitable but reasonable for the key algorithm will be selected.
