.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "OPENSSL-VERIFY 1"
OPENSSL-VERIFY 1 "2023-06-02" "3.0.9" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
openssl-verify - certificate verification command
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" \fBopenssl verify [-help] [-CRLfile filename|uri] [-crl_download] [-show_chain] [-verbose] [-trusted filename|uri] [-untrusted filename|uri] [-vfyopt nm:v] [-nameopt option] [-CAfile file] [-no-CAfile] [-CApath dir] [-no-CApath] [-CAstore uri] [-no-CAstore] [-engine id] [-allow_proxy_certs] [-attime timestamp] [-no_check_time] [-check_ss_sig] [-crl_check] [-crl_check_all] [-explicit_policy] [-extended_crl] [-ignore_critical] [-inhibit_any] [-inhibit_map] [-partial_chain] [-policy arg] [-policy_check] [-policy_print] [-purpose purpose] [-suiteB_128] [-suiteB_128_only] [-suiteB_192] [-trusted_first] [-no_alt_chains] [-use_deltas] [-auth_level num] [-verify_depth num] [-verify_email email] [-verify_hostname hostname] [-verify_ip ip] [-verify_name name] [-x509_strict] [-issuer_checks] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq] [--] [certificate ...]
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" This command verifies certificate chains. If a certificate chain has multiple problems, this program attempts to display all of them.
"OPTIONS"
Header "OPTIONS"
"-help" 4
Item "-help" Print out a usage message.
"-CRLfile filename|uri" 4
Item "-CRLfile filename|uri" The file or \s-1URI\s0 should contain one or more CRLs in \s-1PEM\s0 or \s-1DER\s0 format. This option can be specified more than once to include CRLs from multiple sources.
"-crl_download" 4
Item "-crl_download" Attempt to download \s-1CRL\s0 information for certificates via their \s-1CDP\s0 entries.
"-show_chain" 4
Item "-show_chain" Display information about the certificate chain that has been built (if successful). Certificates in the chain that came from the untrusted list will be flagged as \*(L"untrusted\*(R".
"-verbose" 4
Item "-verbose" Print extra information about the operations being performed.
"-trusted filename|uri" 4
Item "-trusted filename|uri" A file or \s-1URI\s0 of (more or less) trusted certificates. See openssl-verification-options\|(1) for more information on trust settings. .Sp This option can be specified more than once to load certificates from multiple sources.
"-untrusted filename|uri" 4
Item "-untrusted filename|uri" A file or \s-1URI\s0 of untrusted certificates to use for chain building. This option can be specified more than once to load certificates from multiple sources.
"-vfyopt nm:v" 4
Item "-vfyopt nm:v" Pass options to the signature algorithm during verify operations. Names and values of these options are algorithm-specific.
"-nameopt option" 4
Item "-nameopt option" This specifies how the subject or issuer names are displayed. See openssl-namedisplay-options\|(1) for details.
"-engine id" 4
Item "-engine id" See \*(L"Engine Options\*(R" in openssl\|(1). This option is deprecated. .Sp To load certificates or CRLs that require engine support, specify the \fB-engine option before any of the \fB-trusted, -untrusted or -CRLfile options.
"-CAfile file, -no-CAfile, -CApath dir, -no-CApath, -CAstore uri, -no-CAstore" 4
Item "-CAfile file, -no-CAfile, -CApath dir, -no-CApath, -CAstore uri, -no-CAstore" See \*(L"Trusted Certificate Options\*(R" in openssl-verification-options\|(1) for details.
"-allow_proxy_certs, -attime, -no_check_time, -check_ss_sig, -crl_check, -crl_check_all, -explicit_policy, -extended_crl, -ignore_critical, -inhibit_any, -inhibit_map, -no_alt_chains, -partial_chain, -policy, -policy_check, -policy_print, -purpose, -suiteB_128, -suiteB_128_only, -suiteB_192, -trusted_first, -use_deltas, -auth_level, -verify_depth, -verify_email, -verify_hostname, -verify_ip, -verify_name, -x509_strict -issuer_checks" 4

See \*(L"Verification Options\*(R" in openssl-verification-options\|(1) for details.
"-provider name" 4
Item "-provider name"

0

"-provider-path path" 4
Item "-provider-path path"
"-propquery propq" 4
Item "-propquery propq"

See \*(L"Provider Options\*(R" in openssl\|(1), provider\|(7), and property\|(7).

"--" 4
Item "--" Indicates the last option. All arguments following this are assumed to be certificate files. This is useful if the first certificate filename begins with a -.
"certificate ..." 4
Item "certificate ..." One or more target certificates to verify, one per file. If no certificates are given, this command will attempt to read a single certificate from standard input.
"DIAGNOSTICS"
Header "DIAGNOSTICS" When a verify operation fails the output messages can be somewhat cryptic. The general form of the error message is:

.Vb 2 server.pem: /C=AU/ST=Queensland/O=CryptSoft Pty Ltd/CN=Test CA (1024 bit) error 24 at 1 depth lookup:invalid CA certificate .Ve

The first line contains the name of the certificate being verified followed by the subject name of the certificate. The second line contains the error number and the depth. The depth is number of the certificate being verified when a problem was detected starting with zero for the target (\*(L"leaf\*(R") certificate itself then 1 for the \s-1CA\s0 that signed the target certificate and so on. Finally a textual version of the error number is presented.

A list of the error codes and messages can be found in \fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_error\|(3); the full list is defined in the header file \fI<openssl/x509_vfy.h>.

This command ignores many errors, in order to allow all the problems with a certificate chain to be determined.

"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" The -show_chain option was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

The -engine option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
