gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(3) gnutls gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(3)
NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(3) cert, const void *
serial, size_t serial_size);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t
const void * serial
The serial number
size_t serial_size
Holds the size of the serial field.
DESCRIPTION
This function will set the X.509 certificate's serial number. While the
serial number is an integer, it is often handled as an opaque field by
several CAs. For this reason this function accepts any kind of data as a
serial number. To be consistent with the X.509/PKIX specifications the
provided serial should be a big-endian positive number (i.e. its
leftmost bit should be zero).
The size of the serial is restricted to 20 bytes maximum by RFC5280.
This function allows writing more than 20 bytes but the generated
certificates in that case may be rejected by other implementations.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error
value.
