💖 gnutls_certifi...09_rdn_sequence(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual — yes, the TLS/SSL library one, she's iconic — and today we're learning about gnutls_certificate_send_x509_rdn_sequence. that name is a mouthful fr fr but like... it's fine, we got this. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_certificate_send_x509_rdn_sequence — an API function, and honestly? a little bit of a control freak (affectionate) 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_certificate_send_x509_rdn_sequence(gnutls_session_t session,
int status);

like. look at her. no return value. she just does the thing. main character energy, no notes 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_session_t session — a gnutls_session_t type. that's your session bestie, the whole vibe container, she holds the state 💖
  • int status — is 0 or 1. two moods. that's it. binary queen 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea ☕

if status is non zero, this function will order gnutls not to send the rdnSequence in the certificate request message. which basically means: the server will not advertise its trusted CAs to the peer. she's playing hard to get. mysterious. lowkey iconic 🙈

if status is zero then the default behaviour will take effect, which is to advertise the server's trusted CAs. back to being an open book ✨

and now the important part, bestie, don't skip this: this function has no effect in clients, and in authentication methods other than certificate with X.509 certificates. so if that's your situation, she's just gonna sit there being decorative. no cap 💀
