# certverifypeer

## certverifypeer <a href="#certverifypeer" id="certverifypeer"></a>

**Default Value:** true

Determines whether the platform should confirm that the certificate was signed by a valid certificate authority (CA) when establishing an HTTPS connection.

### Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="gatherinfo.php" %}

```php
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n");
?>
<vxml version="2.0">

<form>
  <field name="customerid" type="digits?length=7">
    <property name="certverifypeer" value="false"/>
    <prompt>
      Please enter your customer identification number.
    </prompt>
    <filled>
      <prompt>
        You entered <value expr="id"/>.
      </prompt>
    <goto next="https://ivr.selfcertifiedcert.com/retrieveinfo.php"/>
    </filled>
  </field>  
</form>
</vxml>
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="retrieveinfo.php" %}

```php
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n");
?>

<vxml version="2.0">
<form>
  <block>
    <prompt>
      Your bank statement is zero.
    </prompt>
  </block>
</form>
</vxml>
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Explanation

From this example, in gatherinfo.php, the developer has set the value of property name, certverifypeer, to false so that when the platform does a \<goto> to the retrieveinfo.php script, the platform won't throw an error. If the developer is using a self-signed certificate (meaning the certificate wasn't verified by a valid certificate authority), the developer would want to set the certverifypeer property to false so that the platform wouldn't confirm if the certificate was signed by a valid certificate authority. If this property weren't set to false, the platform would throw an error.badfetch due to an SSL certificate problem.

### Notes

This property can be implemented at the field-level, form-level, page-level, and root-level scope of your application.
