CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD - passphrase to private key
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, char *pwd);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used as
the password required to use the CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) or
CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE(3) private key. You never need a passphrase
to load a certificate but you need one to load your private key.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.
DEFAULT
NULL
