*Paul Dale*
+ * The negative return value handling of the certificate verification callback
+ was reverted. The replacement is to set the verification retry state with
+ the SSL_set_retry_verify() function.

### Changes between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 [14 dec 2021]
* Fixed invalid handling of X509_verify_cert() internal errors in libssl

In client mode, the behaviour is as follows.
All values, including 0, are ignored
if the verification mode is B<SSL_VERIFY_NONE>.
-Otherwise, when the return value is 0, the handshake will fail.
-
-In client mode I<callback> may also return -1,
-typically on failure verifying the server certificate.
-This makes the handshake suspend and return control to the calling application
-with B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY>.
-The app can for instance fetch further certificates or cert status information
-needed for the verification.
-Calling L<SSL_connect(3)> again resumes the connection attempt
-by retrying the server certificate verification step.
+Otherwise, when the return value is less than or equal to 0, the handshake will
+fail.

+In client mode I<callback> may also call the L<SSL_set_retry_verify(3)>
+function on the B<SSL> object set in the I<x509_store_ctx> ex data (see
+L<SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx(3)>) and return 1. This would be
+typically done in case the certificate verification was not yet able
+to succeed. This makes the handshake suspend and return control to the

This process may even be repeated if need be.

+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_set_retry_verify - indicate that certificate verification should be retried
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ int SSL_set_retry_verify(SSL *ssl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_set_retry_verify() should be called from the certificate verification
+callback on a client when the application wants to indicate that the handshake
+should be suspended and the control should be returned to the application.
+L<SSL_want_retry_verify(3)> will return 1 as a consequence until the handshake
+is resumed again by the application, retrying the verification step.
+
+Please refer to L<SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(3)> for further details.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The effect of calling SSL_set_retry_verify() outside of the certificate
+verification callback on the client side is undefined.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+SSL_set_retry verify() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+The following code snippet shows how to obtain the B<SSL> object associated
+with the B<X509_STORE_CTX> to call the SSL_set_retry_verify() function:
+
+ int idx = SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx();
+ SSL *ssl;
+
+ /* this should not happen but check anyway */
+ if (idx < 0
+ || (ssl = X509_STORE_CTX_get_ex_data(ctx, idx)) == NULL)
+ return 0;
+
+ if (/* we need to retry verification callback */)
+ return SSL_set_retry_verify(ssl);
+
+ /* do normal processing of the verification callback */
+

+L<SSL_want_retry_verify(3)>
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+SSL_set_retry_verify() was added in OpenSSL 3.0.2 to replace backwards
+incompatible handling of a negative return value from the verification
+callback.
