Question : IRC SSL certificate verification

hello

I'm going to develop an IRC client that supports SSL. I use opnSSL for my SSL connections. I installed Unreal3.2.8.1 as IRC server on my laptop. It works, because I can login using SSL by mIRC. server works using SSL.

now, I have a problem with SSL certificate verification in my application. I got a code that copied in code snipet.

connect_encrypted function connects to localhost:6697 that UnrealIRCd listens for SSL connections. but SSL_get_verify_result function always return:
#define X509_V_ERR_DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT 18

I read a lot and got that there are two ways for verification:
1- SSL_CTX_set_verify
2- SSL_get_verify_result and then SSL_CTX_set_verify (like my code)

how can I verify the certificate of UnrealIRCd?

thank you very much
Best Regards
