Name

gnutls_x509_crq_sign2 — Sign a Certificate request with a key

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_x509_crq_sign2( gnutls_x509_crq_t crq,
  gnutls_x509_privkey_t key,
  gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig,
  unsigned int flags);
 

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_crq_t crq

should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t structure

gnutls_x509_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.

RETURNS

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise an error. GNUTLS_E_ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND is returned if you didn't set all information in the certificate request (e.g., the version using gnutls_x509_crq_set_version()).
