NAME

       gnutls_x509_crt_sign2 - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_sign2(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, gnutls_x509_crt_t
       issuer, gnutls_x509_privkey_t issuer_key, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t
       dig, unsigned int flags);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crt_t crt
                   a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t

       gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer
                   is the certificate of the certificate issuer

       gnutls_x509_privkey_t issuer_key
                   holds the issuer's private key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig
                   The message digest to use, GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256 is a safe
                   choice

       unsigned int flags
                   must be 0


DESCRIPTION

       This function will sign the certificate with the issuer's private key,
       and will copy the issuer's information into the certificate.

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

       A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed certificate
       will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until
       it is exported an re-imported.

       After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of  dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN, and in
       that case, a suitable but reasonable for the key algorithm will be
       selected.


RETURNS

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