NAME

gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_mem - Used to set keys in a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_mem(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res, const gnutls_datum_t * cert, const gnutls_datum_t * key, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res: is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure.
const gnutls_datum_t * cert: contains a certificate list (path) for the specified private key
const gnutls_datum_t * key: is the private key, or NULL
gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type: is PEM or DER

DESCRIPTION

This function sets a certificate/private key pair in the gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure. This function may be called more than once (in case multiple keys/certificates exist for the server).

CURRENTLY ARE SUPPORTED

RSA PKCS-1 encoded private keys, DSA private keys.

DSA private keys are encoded the OpenSSL way, which is an ASN.1 DER sequence of 6 INTEGERs - version, p, q, g, pub, priv.

Note that the keyUsage (2.5.29.15) PKIX extension in X.509 certificates is supported. This means that certificates intended for signing cannot be used for ciphersuites that require encryption.

If the certificate and the private key are given in PEM encoding then the strings that hold their values must be null terminated.

The key may be NULL if you are using a sign callback, see gnutls_sign_callback_set().

RETURNS

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
