Hi : I haven't tried that. In the command line: openssl verify -CAfile root.cert inter.crt OK. That means intermediate cert can be verified with root cert, so as a first step i try to perform this two level verify with C program. but it failed. If I combine the server's cert and intermediate into single file, and use d2i_X509(), would it return a china of certificates then? I will try it. But I still concern why intermediate cert verification would fail.

Have you tried combining the intermediate and the server cert into a single file? That should work, and is more akin to the actual behavior (the server sends its certificate plus any intermediates, and the client should only need the root).
