gnutls_x509_crt_set_issuer_dn_by_oid3

Arguments

gnutls_x509_crt_t crt

a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t

const char * oid

holds an Object Identifier in a null terminated string

unsigned int raw_flag

must be 0, or 1 if the data are DER encoded

const void * name

a pointer to the name

unsigned int sizeof_name

Overview

This function will set the part of the name of the Certificate issuer, 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 using gnutls_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.

Normally you do not need to call this function, since the signing operation will copy the signer's name as the issuer of the certificate.

Returns

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
