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.
