NAME         top

       gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int
       gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t
       cred, const char * cafile, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_certificate_credentials_t cred
                   is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type.

       const char * cafile
                   is a file containing the list of trusted CAs (DER or
                   PEM list)

       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type
                   is PEM or DER

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function adds the trusted CAs in order to verify client or
       server certificates. In case of a client this is not required to
       be called if the certificates are not verified using
       gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2().  This function may be called
       multiple times.

       In case of a server the names of the CAs set here will be sent to
       the client if a certificate request is sent. This can be disabled
       using gnutls_certificate_send_x509_rdn_sequence().

       This function can also accept URLs. In that case it will import
       all certificates that are marked as trusted. Note that the
       supported URLs are the ones indicated by
       gnutls_url_is_supported().

RETURNS         top

       the number of certificates processed
