NAME

       gnutls_x509_crq_sign2 - Sign a Certificate request with a key

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int  gnutls_x509_crq_sign2(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, gnutls_x509_privkey_t
       key, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crq_t crq
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t structure

       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
                   holds a private key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig
                   The message digest to  use,  GNUTLS_DIG_SHA1  is  the  safe
                   choice unless you know what you’re doing.

       unsigned int flags
                   must be 0

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will  sign  the certificate request with a private key.
       This must be the same key as the one used in  gnutls_x509_crt_set_key()
       since a certificate request is self signed.

       This  must  be  the last step in a certificate request generation since
       all the previously set parameters are now signed.

RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS     on     success,      otherwise      an      error.
       GNUTLS_E_ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND   is  returned  if  you  didn’t  set  all
       information  in  the  certificate  request  (e.g.,  the  version  using
       gnutls_x509_crq_set_version()).
