gnutls_x509_crt_set_dn(3) gnutlsgnutls_x509_crt_set_dn(3)gnutls_x509_crt_set_dn - API function
#include <gnutls/x509.h>int gnutls_x509_crt_set_dn(gnutls_x509_crt_tcrt, const char *dn,const char **err);
gnutls_x509_crt_t crt a certificate of typegnutls_x509_crt_t const char * dn a comma separated DN string (RFC4514) const char ** err indicates the error position (if any)
This function will set the DN on the provided certificate. The input string should be plain ASCII or UTF-8 encoded. On DN parsing errorGNUTLS_E_PARSING_ERRORis returned. Note that DNs are not expected to hold DNS information, and thus no automatic IDNA conversions are attempted when using this function. If that is required (e.g., store a domain in CN), process the corresponding input withgnutls_idna_map().
On success,GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
