Subject: [PATCH proxmox v3 3/6] client: use proxmox-http's openssl verification callback
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:59:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617085949.1528300-4-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260617085949.1528300-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com>

This changes the validation logic by always checking the fingerprint of
the leaf certificate, ignoring the openssl verification if a fingerprint
is configured. This now aligns with our perl implementation and the one
for proxmox-websocket-tunnel.

Before, a valid certificate chain would have precedence over an explicit
fingerprint.
