gnutls_credentials_set(3) [suse man page]

gnutls_credentials_set(3)					      gnutls						 gnutls_credentials_set(3)

NAME

       gnutls_credentials_set - Sets the needed credentials for the specified authentication algorithm.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_credentials_type_t type, void * cred);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_credentials_type_t type
		   is the type of the credentials

       void * cred is a pointer to a structure.

DESCRIPTION

       Sets  the  needed  credentials  for  the  specified type.  Eg username, password - or public and private keys etc.  The cred parameter is a
       structure that depends on the specified type and on the current session (client or server).

       In order to minimize memory usage, and share credentials between several threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and  not  the  whole  cred
       structure.  Thus you will have to keep the structure allocated until you call gnutls_deinit().

       For  GNUTLS_CRD_ANON,  cred  should  be	gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t  in  case  of	a  client.   In  case  of  a  server  it should be
       gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_SRP, cred should be gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t in case of a client, and gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t, in case  of  a
       server.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE, cred should be gnutls_certificate_credentials_t.

RETURNS

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (zero) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.

NAME

       gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t cred, gnutls_certificate_verify_function * func);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_certificate_credentials_t cred
		   is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure.

       gnutls_certificate_verify_function * func
		   is the callback function

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  sets  a	callback to be called when peer's certificate has been received in order to verify it on receipt rather than doing
       after the handshake is completed.

       The callback's function prototype is: int (*callback)(gnutls_session_t);

       If the callback function is provided then gnutls will call it, in the handshake, just after the certificate message has been received.	To
       verify  or  obtain  the	certificate  the gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(), gnutls_certificate_type_get(), gnutls_certificate_get_peers()
       functions can be used.

       The callback function should return 0 for the handshake to continue or non-zero to terminate.

SINCE

       2.10.0
