openssl-verify

OpenSSL Certificate validation utility
======================================

A wrapper around OpenSSL commands to allow certificate validation for Node.js

Usage
-----

Install with npm: npm install openssl-verify --save

``js
var openssl = require('openssl-verify');
var fs = require('fs');

var certificate = fs.readFileSync('certificate.pem', "utf8");

openssl.verifyCertificate(certificate, 'resources/cafolder', function(result) {
console.log(result);
})
`

API
---

#### verifyCertificate(cert, caDir, caFile, cb)
Checks the validity of a provided certificate, and wheter or not it is trusted by any CA present in caDir.

* __cert__: String contents of the certificate (PEM encoded)
* __caDir__: String folder with trusted CA's
* __caFile__: String file of trusted CA's
* __cb__: Function in the form of function(err, result) where result is an object containing boolean flags
validCert, verifiedCA and expired; as well as output` containing the raw output from OpenSSL.
Those flags are evaluated in order, so if one of them is false the rest won't be included (they would be meaningless)
