NAME

       gnutls_x509_crq_privkey_sign - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

       gnutls_x509_crq_privkey_sign(3)         crq,
       gnutls_privkey_t  key,  gnutls_digest_algorithm_t  dig,  unsigned   int
       flags);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crq_t crq
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type

       gnutls_privkey_t key
                   holds a private key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig
                   The message digest to use, i.e., GNUTLS_DIG_SHA1

       unsigned int flags
                   must be 0


DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will  sign  the certificate request with a private key.
       This must be the same key as the one used in  gnutls_x509_crt_set_key()
       since a certificate request is self signed.

       This  must  be  the last step in a certificate request generation since
       all the previously set parameters are now signed.

       A known limitation of this function is,  that  a  newly-signed  request
       will  not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until
       it is exported an re-imported.

       After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of  dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN, and  in
       that  case,  a  suitable  but  reasonable for the key algorithm will be
       selected.


RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS  on  success,  otherwise  a   negative   error   code.
       GNUTLS_E_ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND  is returned if you didn't set all infor-
       mation  in  the  certificate   request   (e.g.,   the   version   using
       gnutls_x509_crq_set_version()).


SINCE

       2.12.0
