gnutls_x509_crt_privkey_sign(3) gnutls gnutls_x509_crt_privkey_sign(3)
NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_privkey_sign - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/abstract.h>
gnutls_x509_crt_privkey_sign(3) crt,
gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer, gnutls_privkey_t issuer_key,
gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig, unsigned int flags);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_x509_crt_t crt
a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t
gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer
is the certificate of the certificate issuer
gnutls_privkey_t issuer_key
holds the issuer's private key
gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig
The message digest to use, GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256 is a safe
choice
unsigned int flags
must be 0
DESCRIPTION
This function will sign the certificate with the issuer's private key,
and will copy the issuer's information into the certificate.
This must be the last step in a certificate generation since all the
previously set parameters are now signed.
A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed certificate
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
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative
error value.
