CURLOPT_SSLCERT(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options						CURLOPT_SSLCERT(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_SSLCERT - set SSL client certificate SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, char *cert); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be the file name of your client certificate. The default format is "P12" on Secure Transport and "PEM" on other engines, and can be changed with CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3). With NSS or Secure Transport, this can also be the nickname of the certificate you wish to authenticate with as it is named in the security database. If you want to use a file from the current directory, please precede it with "./" prefix, in order to avoid confusion with a nickname. When using a client certificate, you most likely also need to provide a private key with CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3). The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. DEFAULT
NULL PROTOCOLS
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc. EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
If built TLS enabled. RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. SEE ALSO

CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					     CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE - set type of the private key file SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE, char *type); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be the format of your private key. Supported formats are "PEM", "DER" and "ENG". The format "ENG" enables you to load the private key from a crypto engine. In this case CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) is used as an identifier passed to the engine. You have to set the crypto engine with CURLOPT_SSLENGINE(3). "DER" format key file currently does not work because of a bug in OpenSSL. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. DEFAULT
"PEM" PROTOCOLS
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc. EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
If built TLS enabled. RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. SEE ALSO
