gnutls_x509_crq_set_dn_by_oid(3) gnutlsgnutls_x509_crq_set_dn_by_oid(3)gnutls_x509_crq_set_dn_by_oid - API function
#include <gnutls/x509.h>int gnutls_x509_crq_set_dn_by_oid(gnutls_x509_crq_tcrq, constchar *oid, unsigned intraw_flag, const void *data, unsigned intsizeof_data);
gnutls_x509_crq_t crq should contain agnutls_x509_crq_ttype const char * oid holds an Object Identifier in a (0)-terminated string unsigned int raw_flag must be 0, or 1 if the data are DER encoded const void * data a pointer to the input data unsigned int sizeof_data holds the size ofdata
This function will set the part of the name of the Certificate request subject, specified by the given OID. The input string should be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded. Some helper macros with popular OIDs can be found in gnutls/x509.h With this function you can only set the known OIDs. You can test for known OIDs usinggnutls_x509_dn_oid_known(). For OIDs that are not known (by gnutls) you should properly DER encode your data, and call this function with raw_flag set.
On success,GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
