NAME

       gnutls_credentials_set - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       gnutls_credentials_set(3)  session,  gnutls_creden-
       tials_type_t type, void * cred);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       gnutls_credentials_type_t type
                   is the type of the credentials

       void * cred the credentials to set


DESCRIPTION

       Sets the needed credentials for the  specified  type.   E.g.  username,
       password  -  or  public and private keys etc.  The  cred parameter is a
       structure that depends on the specified type and on the current session
       (client or server).

       In  order  to minimize memory usage, and share credentials between sev-
       eral threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and  not  the  whole  cred
       structure.   Thus  you  will have to keep the structure allocated until
       you call gnutls_deinit().

       For GNUTLS_CRD_ANON,  cred should  be  gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t
       in   case   of   a   client.    In  case  of  a  server  it  should  be
       gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_SRP,  cred should be gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t  in
       case  of  a  client,  and gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t, in case of a
       server.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE,  cred should be  gnutls_certificate_creden-
       tials_t.


RETURNS

       On  success,  GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS  (0)  is  returned, otherwise a negative
       error code is returned.
