Hi, I am using openssl 1.0.2 on windows. as on windows, openssl could not use os's default root ca folder as on ubuntu (/etc/ssl/certs). and I do not use X509_STORE_add_cert() to add any root ca certificate files. But when I use X509_verify_cert() to verify certificate that I get from some url (ex. https://www.google.com), I found it will return 1. why it can be pass verified even I do not set any root CA files on windows. As I thought, we need root ca PEM files to verify certificate chain. Thanks~ -- Rejoice,I Desire!
