gnutls_credentials_set(3)	    gnutls	     gnutls_credentials_set(3)

NAME
       gnutls_credentials_set  - Sets the needed credentials for the specified
       authentication algorithm.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int  gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_t  session,	gnutls_creden‐
       tials_type_t type, void * cred);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_credentials_type_t type
		   is the type of the credentials

       void * cred is a pointer to a structure.

DESCRIPTION
       Sets the needed credentials for the specified type.  Eg username, pass‐
       word - or public and private keys etc.  The (void* cred) parameter is a
       structure that depends on the specified type and on the current session
       (client or server).  [ In order to minimize  memory  usage,  and	 share
       credentials between several threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and
       not the whole cred structure. Thus you will have to keep the  structure
       allocated until you call gnutls_deinit(). ]

       For  GNUTLS_CRD_ANON cred should be gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t in
       case  of	 a   client.	In   case   of	 a   server   it   should   be
       gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.

       For  GNUTLS_CRD_SRP  cred  should be gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t in
       case of a client, and gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t,  in  case	 of  a
       server.

       For  GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE  cred  should be gnutls_certificate_creden‐
       tials_t.
