OpenSSL Ignore Self-signed certificate error

Question

I\'m writing a small program with the OpenSSL library that is suppose to establish a connection with an SSLv3 server. This server dispenses a self-signed certificate, which caus

Answer 1

My sample client code (link) works fine with self signed server cert. I have the below code after SSL_connect and have full control over self signed certificates acceptability in my client

SSL_CTX* ctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_method());

// TCP connection and SSL handshake ...

/* Check the certificate */

rc = SSL_get_verify_result(ssl);
if(rc != X509_V_OK) {
  if (rc == X509_V_ERR_DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT || rc == X509_V_ERR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN) {
    fprintf(stderr, "self signed certificate\n");
  }
  else {
    fprintf(stderr, "Certificate verification error: %ld\n", SSL_get_verify_result(ssl));
    SSL_CTX_free(ctx);
    return 0;
  }
}
