Hi,
We are using SSL for secure communication. In this both the parties verify
each other
(ctx.set_verify_mode(boost::asio::ssl::context::verify_peer|boost::asio::ssl::context::verify_fail_if_no_peer_cert);).
Both the communicating parties uses self signed certificates. Both client
and server loads the each others public key for peer verification, for that
we use the call ctx.load_verify_file().
At the client side when we call "load_verify_file()" only once with the
other parties public key it works perfectly. If we load one more public key
of some other application again using "load_verify_file()" the peer
authentication fails. So what I understood is "load_verify_file()" loads
only one latest certificate, but the documentation says it can be used for
loading one or more CA files.
To solve this, I also merged the two certificates into one file and tried
loading it. If the valid certificate is in the second position in the file
the verification is performed successfully. Otherwise it fails!!
What could be the reason, is there any method available for peer
authentication?
Thanks,
Lloyd
