I frequently find myself having to validate a given certificate by verifying that it has a valid trust chain and as such that I possess all CA certificates in that signing chain.
Openssl gives us
openssl verify -CAfile /path/to/ca.file /path/to/cert.file
to do this so this PR adds a function to callopenssl verify
, docs and some tests to verify that a certificate does indeed have a valid signing chain.So:
Happy to discuss, make changes, etc.
