NAME

       gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file(3)
       tials_t  res,  const  char  *   certfile,   const   char   *   keyfile,
       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res
                   is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type.

       const char * certfile
                   is  a  file that containing the certificate list (path) for
                   the specified private key, in PKCS7 format, or  a  list  of
                   certificates

       const char * keyfile
                   is a file that contains the private key

       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type
                   is PEM or DER


DESCRIPTION

       This  function  sets  a certificate/private key pair in the gnutls_cer-
       tificate_credentials_t type.  This function may  be  called  more  than
       once,  in  case  multiple  keys/certificates exist for the server.  For
       clients that need to send more than its  own  end  entity  certificate,
       e.g., also an intermediate CA cert, then the
        certfile must contain the ordered certificate chain.

       Note that the names in the certificate provided will be considered when
       selecting the appropriate certificate to use (in case of multiple  cer-
       tificate/key pairs).

       This  function can also accept URLs at  keyfile and  certfile . In that
       case it will use the private key and certificate indicated by the URLs.
       Note   that   the   supported   URLs   are   the   ones   indicated  by
       gnutls_url_is_supported().

       In case the  certfile is provided as a PKCS 11 URL, then  the  certifi-
       cate,  and its present issuers in the token are imported (i.e., forming
       the required trust chain).

       If that function fails to load the  res structure is  at  an  undefined
       state, it must not be reused to load other keys or certificates.

       Note that, this function by default returns zero on success and a nega-
       tive value on  error.   Since  3.5.6,  when  the  flag  GNUTLS_CERTIFI-
       CATE_API_V2  is  set using gnutls_certificate_set_flags() it returns an
       index (greater or equal to zero). That index can be used to other func-
       tions to refer to the added key-pair.


RETURNS

       On  success this functions returns zero, and otherwise a negative value
       on error (see above for modifying that behavior).
