# OPTIONS

-help

  Print out a usage message.

  打印使用信息。

-CAfile file

  A file of trusted certificates. The file should contain one or more certificates in PEM format.

  可信证书文件。该文件应包含在一个或多个PEM格式的证书里。

-CApath directory

  A directory of trusted certificates. The certificates should have names of the form: hash.0 or have symbolic links to them of this form ("hash" is the hashed certificate subject name: see the -hash option of the x509 utility). Under Unix the c_rehash script will automatically create symbolic links to a directory of certificates.

  可信证书目录。 证书应具有以下格式的名称：hash.0或具有此表单的符号链接 （“哈希”是散列的证书主题名称：请参阅x509实用程序的-hash选项）。 在Unix下， c_rehash脚本将自动创建到证书目录的符号链接。

-no-CAfile

  Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default file location

  不要从默认文件位置加载受信任的CA证书。

-no-CApath

  Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default directory location

  不要从默认目录位置加载受信任的CA证书。

-allow_proxy_certs

  Allow the verification of proxy certificates

  允许验证代理证书。

-attime timestamp

  Perform validation checks using time specified by timestamp and not current system time. timestamp is the number of seconds since 01.01.1970 (UNIX time).

  使用由时间戳指定的时间而不是当前系统时间执行验证检查。 时间戳是自01.01.1970（UNIX时间）以来的秒数。

-check_ss_sig

  Verify the signature on the self-signed root CA. This is disabled by default because it doesn't add any security.

  验证自签名根CA上的签名。 这是默认禁用的，因为它不添加任何安全性。

-CRLfile file

  The file should contain one or more CRLs in PEM format. This option can be specified more than once to include CRLs from multiple files.

  文件应包含一个或多个PEM格式的CRL。 可以多次指定此选项以包含来自多个文件的CRL。

-crl_download

  Attempt to download CRL information for this certificate.

  尝试下载此证书的CRL信息。

-crl_check

  Checks end entity certificate validity by attempting to look up a valid CRL. If a valid CRL cannot be found an error occurs.

  通过尝试查找有效的CRL来检查终端实体证书的有效性。 如果找不到有效的CRL，则会发生错误。

-crl_check_all

  Checks the validity of all certificates in the chain by attempting to look up valid CRLs.

  通过尝试查找有效的CRL来检查链中所有证书的有效性。

-engine id

  Specifying an engine id will cause -explicit_policy

  Set policy variable require-explicit-policy (see RFC5280).

  设置策略变量require-explicit-policy（参见RFC5280）。

-extended_crl

  Enable extended CRL features such as indirect CRLs and alternate CRL signing keys.

  启用扩展CRL功能，如间接CRL和备用CRL签名密钥

-ignore_critical

  Normally if an unhandled critical extension is present which is not supported by GmSSL the certificate is rejected (as required by RFC5280). If this option is set critical extensions are ignored.

  通常如果GmSSL不支持未处理的关键扩展，那么证书将被拒绝（根据RFC5280的要求）。 如果设置了此选项，则将忽略关键扩展。

-inhibit_any

  Set policy variable inhibit-any-policy (see RFC5280).

  设置策略变量suppress-any-policy（参见RFC5280）。

-inhibit_map

  Set policy variable inhibit-policy-mapping (see RFC5280).

  设置策略变量inhibit-policy-mapping（参见RFC5280）。

-no_check_time

  This option suppresses checking the validity period of certificates and CRLs against the current time. If option -attime timestamp is used to specify a verification time, the check is not suppressed.

  此选项禁止根据当前时间检查证书和CRL的有效期。 如果选项-attime时间戳用于指定验证时间，则不会抑制该检查。

-partial_chain

  Allow verification to succeed even if a complete chain cannot be built to a self-signed trust-anchor, provided it is possible to construct a chain to a trusted certificate that might not be self-signed.

  即使完整的链不能构建一个自签署的信任锚点也可以允许验证成功， 这可以构建一个链链接到一个不是自签署的受信任证书。

-policy arg

  Enable policy processing and add arg to the user-initial-policy-set (see RFC5280). The policy arg can be an object name an OID in numeric form. This argument can appear more than once.

-policy_print

  Print out diagnostics related to policy processing.

  打印与策略处理有关的诊断。

-purpose purpose

  The intended use for the certificate. If this option is not specified, verify will not consider certificate purpose during chain verification. Currently accepted uses are sslclient, sslserver, nssslserver, smimesign, smimeencrypt. See the VERIFY OPERATION section for more information.

  证书的预期用途。 如果未指定此选项，验证将不会在链验证期间考虑证书目的。 目前接受的用途是sslclient，sslserver，nssslserver，smimesign，smimeencrypt。 有关详细信息，请参阅“验证操作”部分。

-suiteB_128_only, -suiteB_128, -suiteB_192

  enable the Suite B mode operation at 128 bit Level of Security, 128 bit or 192 bit, or only 192 bit Level of Security respectively. See RFC6460 for details. In particular the supported signature algorithms are reduced to support only ECDSA and SHA256 or SHA384 and only the elliptic curves P-256 and P-384.

  启用Suite B模式操作，分别为128位安全级别，128位或192位或仅192位安全级别。 有关详细信息，请参阅RFC6460。 特别地，支持的签名算法被减少以仅支持ECDSA 和SHA256或SHA384，并且仅支持椭圆曲线P-256和P-384。

-trusted_first

  When constructing the certificate chain, use the trusted certificates specified via -CAfile, -CApath or -trusted before any certificates specified via -untrusted. This can be useful in environments with Bridge or Cross-Certified CAs. As of GmSSL 1.1.0 this option is on by default and cannot be disabled.

  在构建证书链时，请使用通过-CAfile指定的受信任证书，-CApath或-trusted，然后通过-rustrusted指定任何证书。 这可以在具有桥接或交叉认证CA的环境中使用。 从GmSSL 1.1.0开始，默认情况下，该选项处于打开状态，无法禁用。

-no_alt_chains

  By default, unless -trusted_first is specified, when building a certificate chain, if the first certificate chain found is not trusted, then GmSSL will attempt to replace untrusted issuer certificates with certificates from the trust store to see if an alternative chain can be found that is trusted. As of GmSSL 1.1.0, with -trusted_first always on, this option has no effect.

  默认情况下，除非指定了-trusted_first，否则在构建证书链时，如果发现第一个证书链不受信任， 则GmSSL将尝试用信任存储中的证书替换不受信任的颁发者证书，以查看是否可以找到可信任的替代链。 从GmSSL 1.1.0开始，使用-trusted_first始终处于打开状态，此选项不起作用。

-untrusted file

  A file of additional untrusted certificates (intermediate issuer CAs) used to construct a certificate chain from the subject certificate to a trust-anchor. The file should contain one or more certificates in PEM format. This option can be specified more than once to include untrusted certificates from multiple files.

  用于构建从主题证书到信任锚的证书链的其他不可信证书（中间颁发者CA）的文件。 该文件应包含一个或多个PEM格式的证书。 可以多次指定此选项以包含来自多个文件的不受信任的证书。

-trusted file

  A file of trusted certificates, which must be self-signed, unless the -partial_chain option is specified. The file contains one or more certificates in PEM format. With this option, no additional (e.g., default) certificate lists are consulted. That is, the only trust-anchors are those listed in file. This option can be specified more than once to include trusted certificates from multiple files. This option implies the -no-CAfile and -no-CApath options. This option cannot be used in combination with either of the -CAfile or -CApath options.

  可信证书的文件，必须是自签名的，除非指定了-partial_chain选项。 该文件包含一个或多个PEM格式的证书。 使用此选项，不会查询附加（例如，默认）证书列表。 也就是说，唯一的信任锚是列出的文件。 可以多次指定此选项以包含来自多个文件的可信证书。 此选项意味着-no-CAfile和-no-CApath选项。 此选项不能与-CAfile或-CApath选项中的任何一个组合使用。

-use_deltas

  Enable support for delta CRLs.

  启用对delta CRL的支持。

-verbose

  Print extra information about the operations being performed.

  打印有关正在执行的操作的额外信息。

-auth_level level

  Set the certificate chain authentication security level to level. The authentication security level determines the acceptable signature and public key strength when verifying certificate chains. For a certificate chain to validate, the public keys of all the certificates must meet the specified security level. The signature algorithm security level is enforced for all the certificates in the chain except for the chain's trust anchor, which is either directly trusted or validated by means other than its signature. See -verify_depth num

  Limit the certificate chain to num intermediate CA certificates. A maximal depth chain can have up to num+2 certificates, since neither the end-entity certificate nor the trust-anchor certificate count against the -verify_depth limit.

  将证书链限制为中间CA证书。 最大深度链可以具有最多num + 2个证书，因为终端实体证书和信任锚证书都不符合-verify_depth限制。

-verify_email email

  Verify if the email matches the email address in Subject Alternative Name or the email in the subject Distinguished Name.

  验证电子邮件是否匹配主题备用名称中的电子邮件地址或主题可分辨名称中的电子邮件。

-verify_hostname hostname

  Verify if the hostname matches DNS name in Subject Alternative Name or Common Name in the subject certificate.

  验证主题名称是否匹配主题证书中主题备用名称或公用名称中的DNS名称。

-verify_ip ip

  Verify if the ip matches the IP address in Subject Alternative Name of the subject certificate.

  验证IP匹配主题证书的主题备用名称中的IP地址。

-verify_name name

  Use default verification policies like trust model and required certificate policies identified by name. The trust model determines which auxiliary trust or reject OIDs are applicable to verifying the given certificate chain. See the -addtrust and -addreject options of the -x509_strict

  For strict X.509 compliance, disable non-compliant workarounds for broken certificates.

  对于严格的X.509合规性，请禁用破坏的证书的不符合标准的解决方法。

-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 "untrusted".

  显示有关已建立的证书链的信息（如果成功）。 来自不受信任名单的链中的证书将被标记为“不受信任”。

-

  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 -.

  表示最后一个选项。 以下所有参数都被认为是证书文件。 如果第一个证书文件名以 - 开头，这将非常有用。

certificates

  One or more certificates to verify. If no certificates are given, verify will attempt to read a certificate from standard input. Certificates must be in PEM format.

  一个或多个验证证书。 如果没有给出证书，验证将尝试从标准输入读取证书。 证书必须采用PEM格式。

# VERIFY OPERATION

The verify program uses the same functions as the internal SSL and S/MIME verification, therefore this description applies to these verify operations too.

There is one crucial difference between the verify operations performed by the verify program: wherever possible an attempt is made to continue after an error whereas normally the verify operation would halt on the first error. This allows all the problems with a certificate chain to be determined.

The verify operation consists of a number of separate steps.

Firstly a certificate chain is built up starting from the supplied certificate and ending in the root CA. It is an error if the whole chain cannot be built up. The chain is built up by looking up the issuers certificate of the current certificate. If a certificate is found which is its own issuer it is assumed to be the root CA.

The process of 'looking up the issuers certificate' itself involves a number of steps. After all certificates whose subject name matches the issuer name of the current certificate are subject to further tests. The relevant authority key identifier components of the current certificate (if present) must match the subject key identifier (if present) and issuer and serial number of the candidate issuer, in addition the keyUsage extension of the candidate issuer (if present) must permit certificate signing.

The lookup first looks in the list of untrusted certificates and if no match is found the remaining lookups are from the trusted certificates. The root CA is always looked up in the trusted certificate list: if the certificate to verify is a root certificate then an exact match must be found in the trusted list.

The second operation is to check every untrusted certificate's extensions for consistency with the supplied purpose. If the -purpose option is not included then no checks are done. The supplied or "leaf" certificate must have extensions compatible with the supplied purpose and all other certificates must also be valid CA certificates. The precise extensions required are described in more detail in the CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS section of the x509 utility.

The third operation is to check the trust settings on the root CA. The root CA should be trusted for the supplied purpose. For compatibility with previous versions of GmSSL, a certificate with no trust settings is considered to be valid for all purposes.

The final operation is to check the validity of the certificate chain. The validity period is checked against the current system time and the notBefore and notAfter dates in the certificate. The certificate signatures are also checked at this point.

If all operations complete successfully then certificate is considered valid. If any operation fails then the certificate is not valid.

# DIAGNOSTICS

When a verify operation fails the output messages can be somewhat cryptic. The general form of the error message is:

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

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 certificate being verified itself then 1 for the CA that signed the certificate and so on. Finally a text version of the error number is presented.

A partial list of the error codes and messages is shown below, this also includes the name of the error code as defined in the header file x509_vfy.h Some of the error codes are defined but never returned: these are described as "unused".

  Although the issuer checks are a considerable improvement over the old technique they still suffer from limitations in the underlying X509_LOOKUP API. One consequence of this is that trusted certificates with matching subject name must either appear in a file (as specified by the -CAfile option) or a directory (as specified by -CApath). If they occur in both then only the certificates in the file will be recognised.

  Previous versions of GmSSL assume certificates with matching subject name are identical and mishandled them.

  Previous versions of this documentation swapped the meaning of the X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT and X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY error codes.
