NAME¶

gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file - API function

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res, const char * cafile, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type);

ARGUMENTS¶

gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res

is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure.

const char * cafile

is a file containing the list of trusted CAs (DER or PEM list)

gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type

is PEM or DER

DESCRIPTION¶

This function adds the trusted CAs in order to verify client or server certificates. In case of a client this is not required to be called if the certificates are not verified using gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(). This function may be called multiple times.

In case of a server the names of the CAs set here will be sent to the client if a certificate request is sent. This can be disabled using gnutls_certificate_send_x509_rdn_sequence().

This function can also accept PKCS 11 URLs. In that case it will import all certificates that are marked as trusted.

RETURNS¶

number of certificates processed, or a negative value on error.
