CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_SSLKEY - private key file for TLS and SSL client cert
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, char *keyfile);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string
should be the filename of your private key. The default format is "PEM"
and can be changed with CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3).
(Windows, iOS and Mac OS X) This option is ignored by Secure Transport
and Schannel SSL backends because they expect the private key to be
already present in the key-chain or PKCS#12 file containing the
certificate.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS,
POP3S, SMTPS etc.
This option works only with the following TLS backends: OpenSSL,
Schannel, mbedTLS and wolfSSL
EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.9.3
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
