Synopsis

#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_x509_crt_set_dn_by_oid( gnutls_x509_crt_t   crt,
  const char *   oid,
  unsigned int   raw_flag,
  const void *   name,
  unsigned int   sizeof_name);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_crt_t crt

should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure

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

holds the size of name

DESCRIPTION

This function will set the part of the name of the Certificate 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 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.

Returns 0 on success.
