NAME

       gnutls_x509_crq_set_dn_by_oid  - This function will set the Certificate
       request subject’s distinguished name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crq_set_dn_by_oid(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, const  char  *
       oid,   unsigned   int   raw_flag,  const  void  *  data,  unsigned  int
       sizeof_data);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crq_t crq
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_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 * data
                   a pointer to the input data

       unsigned int sizeof_data
                   holds the size of data

DESCRIPTION

       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 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

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