NAME

6       gnutls_x509_crq_sign2 - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
10
11       int  gnutls_x509_crq_sign2(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, gnutls_x509_privkey_t
12       key, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig, unsigned int flags);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_x509_crq_t crq
16                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type
17
18       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
19                   holds a private key
20
21       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig
22                   The message digest to use, i.e., GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256
23
24       unsigned int flags
25                   must be 0
26

DESCRIPTION

28       This function will sign the certificate request  with  a  private  key.
29       This  must be the same key as the one used in gnutls_x509_crt_set_key()
30       since a certificate request is self signed.
31
32       This must be the last step in a certificate  request  generation  since
33       all the previously set parameters are now signed.
34
35       A  known  limitation  of  this function is, that a newly-signed request
36       will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification),  until
37       it is exported an re-imported.
38
39       After  GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of  dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN, and in
40       that case, a suitable but reasonable for  the  key  algorithm  will  be
41       selected.
42

RETURNS

44       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS   on   success,   otherwise  a  negative  error  code.
45       GNUTLS_E_ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND is returned if you didn't set all  infor‐
46       mation   in   the   certificate   request   (e.g.,  the  version  using
47       gnutls_x509_crq_set_version()).
