     SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() returns the index
     number under which the pointer to the SSL object is stored
     into the X509_STORE_CTX object.

NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS
     Whenever a X509_STORE_CTX object is created for the
     verification of the peers certificate during a handshake, a
     pointer to the SSL object is stored into the X509_STORE_CTX
     object to identify the connection affected.  To retrieve
     this pointer the X509_STORE_CTX_get_ex_data() function can
     be used with the correct index. This index is globally the
     same for all X509_STORE_CTX objects and can be retrieved
     using SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx(). The index value
     is set when SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() is first
     called either by the application program directly or
     indirectly during other SSL setup functions or during the
     handshake.

     The value depends on other index values defined for
     X509_STORE_CTX objects before the SSL index is created.

     >=0 The index value to access the pointer.

     <0  An error occurred, check the error stack for a detailed
         error message.

     The index returned from SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx()
     allows to access the SSL object for the connection to be
     accessed during the verify_callback() when checking the
     peers certificate. Please check the example in
     SSL_CTX_set_verify(3),
