NAME

6       gnutls_credentials_set  - Sets the needed credentials for the specified
7       authentication algorithm.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
11
12       int  gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_t  session,   gnutls_creden‐
13       tials_type_t type, void * cred);
14

ARGUMENTS

16       gnutls_session_t session
17                   is a gnutls_session_t structure.
18
19       gnutls_credentials_type_t type
20                   is the type of the credentials
21
22       void * cred is a pointer to a structure.
23

DESCRIPTION

25       Sets the needed credentials for the specified type.  Eg username, pass‐
26       word - or public and private keys etc.  The (void* cred) parameter is a
27       structure that depends on the specified type and on the current session
28       (client or server).  [ In order to minimize  memory  usage,  and  share
29       credentials between several threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and
30       not the whole cred structure. Thus you will have to keep the  structure
31       allocated until you call gnutls_deinit(). ]
32
33       For  GNUTLS_CRD_ANON cred should be gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t in
34       case  of  a   client.    In   case   of   a   server   it   should   be
35       gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.
36
37       For  GNUTLS_CRD_SRP  cred  should be gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t in
38       case of a client, and gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t,  in  case  of  a
39       server.
40
41       For  GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE  cred  should be gnutls_certificate_creden‐
42       tials_t.
