NAME

       gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits  - set the upper limits to be used
       at certificate verification

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void
       gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t
       res, unsigned int max_bits, unsigned int max_depth);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res
                   is a gnutls_certificate_credentials structure

       unsigned int max_bits
                   is the number of bits of an acceptable certificate (default
                   8200)

       unsigned int max_depth
                   is maximum depth of the verification of a certificate chain
                   (default 5)

DESCRIPTION

       This function will set some upper limits for the  default  verification
       function,   gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(),   to  avoid  denial  of
       service attacks.  You can set them to zero to disable limits.
