	    Added the functionality so that the verification fun will
	    be called when a certificate is considered valid by the
	    path validation to allow access to each certificate in
	    the path to the user application. Also try to verify
	    subject-AltName, if unable to verify it let the
	    application verify it.</p>

            (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One

          <p>
            X509 certificate handling has been extended and improved
            as a result of more extensive testing of both the ssl
            and public_key application. Even more extensions of the
            certificate handling is yet to be implemented.</p>
