<p>X509_check_issued - checks if certificate is apparently issued by another certificate</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/x509v3.h&gt;

int X509_check_issued(X509 *issuer, X509 *subject);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>X509_check_issued() checks if certificate <i>subject</i> was apparently issued using (CA) certificate <i>issuer</i>. This function takes into account not only matching of the issuer field of <i>subject</i> with the subject field of <i>issuer</i>, but also compares all sub-fields of the <b>authorityKeyIdentifier</b> extension of <i>subject</i>, as far as present, with the respective <b>subjectKeyIdentifier</b>, serial number, and issuer fields of <i>issuer</i>, as far as present. It also checks if the <b>keyUsage</b> field (if present) of <i>issuer</i> allows certificate signing. It does not actually check the certificate signature. An error is returned if the <i>issuer</i> or the <i>subject</i> are incomplete certificates.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>X509_check_issued() returns <b>X509_V_OK</b> if all checks are successful or some <b>X509_V_ERR*</b> constant to indicate an error.</p>
