[stunnel-users] Certificate failure to verify with verify = 4 option

[Thomas Eifert]

Hi Ludolf:

I understand what you're saying. Nevertheless, I'm under the impression
that level 4's purpose was to ignore the CA chain entirely.  From the
Stunnel manual:

"level 4

     Ignore CA chain and only verify peer certificate."

Regards,

Thomas
