InterimValidationResult Property

Contains the validation status of the moment.

Syntax

 certificatevalidator.getInterimValidationResult([callback])
 certificatevalidator.setInterimValidationResult( interimValidationResult, [callback])

Possible Values

  0 (cvtValid), 
  1 (cvtValidButUntrusted), 
  2 (cvtInvalid), 
  3 (cvtCantBeEstablished)

Default Value

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getInterimValidationResult([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setInterimValidationResult([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Over the course of the validation process, the validator maintains an interim validity status for the chain that is being processed. This status is influenced by every single step of the validation routine, and may change along the way, before the end of the chain is reached and the final validation conclusion is drawn.

Use this property to check the interim validity status mid-flight.


cvtValid	`0`	The chain is valid
cvtValidButUntrusted	`1`	The chain is valid, but the root certificate is not trusted
cvtInvalid	`2`	The chain is not valid (some of certificates are revoked, expired, or contain an invalid signature)
cvtCantBeEstablished	`3`	The validity of the chain cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses)

This property is not available at design time.
