.. zeek:id:: SSL::recently_validated_certs
:source-code: policy/protocols/ssl/validate-certs.zeek 33 33
:Type: :zeek:type:`table` [:zeek:type:`string`] of :zeek:type:`X509::Result`
:Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&read_expire` = ``5.0 mins`` :zeek:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``{}``
Result values for recently validated chains along with the
validation status are kept in this table to avoid constant
validation every time the same certificate chain is seen.
.. zeek:id:: SSL::ssl_cache_intermediate_ca
:source-code: policy/protocols/ssl/validate-certs.zeek 46 46
:Type: :zeek:type:`bool`
:Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``T``
Use intermediate CA certificate caching when trying to validate
certificates. When this is enabled, Zeek keeps track of all valid
intermediate CA certificates that it has seen in the past. When
encountering a host certificate that cannot be validated because
of missing intermediate CA certificate, the cached list is used
to try to validate the cert. This is similar to how Firefox is
doing certificate validation.
Disabling this will usually greatly increase the number of validation warnings
that you encounter. Only disable if you want to find misconfigured servers.
.. zeek:id:: SSL::ssl_store_valid_chain
:source-code: policy/protocols/ssl/validate-certs.zeek 51 51
:Type: :zeek:type:`bool`
:Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``F``
:Redefinition: from :doc:`/scripts/policy/protocols/ssl/validate-sct.zeek`
``=``::
T
Store the valid chain in c$ssl$valid_chain if validation succeeds.
This has a potentially high memory impact, depending on the local environment
and is thus disabled by default.
