SSL_GET_PEER_CERTIFICATE(3)  OpenSSL  SSL_GET_PEER_CERTIFICATE(3)

NAME
     SSL_get_peer_certificate - get the X509 certificate of the
     peer

SYNOPSIS
      #include <openssl/ssl.h>

      X509 *SSL_get_peer_certificate(const SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
     SSL_get_peer_certificate() returns a pointer to the X509
     certificate the peer presented. If the peer did not present
     a certificate, NULL is returned.

NOTES
     Due to the protocol definition, a TLS/SSL server will always
     send a certificate, if present. A client will only send a
     certificate when explicitly requested to do so by the server
     (see SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)). If an anonymous cipher is used,
     no certificates are sent.

     That a certificate is returned does not indicate information
     about the verification state, use SSL_get_verify_result(3)
     to check the verification state.

     The reference count of the X509 object is incremented by
     one, so that it will not be destroyed when the session con-
     taining the peer certificate is freed. The X509 object must
     be explicitly freed using X509_free().

RETURN VALUES
     The following return values can occur:

     NULL
	 No certificate was presented by the peer or no connec-
	 tion was established.

     Pointer to an X509 certificate
	 The return value points to the certificate presented by
	 the peer.
