✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_set_issuer_dn — bestie, this is the API function that sets the issuer DN on your certificate 💖 (and yes, this whole page lives inside the gnutls manual, section 3, so consider that your vibe check 🫶)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_set_issuer_dn(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, const char *
dn, const char ** err);

okay so like, one header, one function, three args, we love a low-effort include 🌸

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t crt — the certificate, and it has to be of type gnutls_x509_crt_t. That's the whole personality trait. literally just a cert 💅
  • const char * dn — a comma separated DN string following RFC4514. commas, bestie, commas matter ✨
  • const char ** err — this one points at the error position, if there even is one. like it'll tell you where things went wrong. not me being a snitch 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This function will set the DN on the provided certificate. That's it, that's the job, main character energy 👑

The input string should be plain ASCII or UTF-8 encoded. No weird encodings, no chaos, we keep it clean 🧚

and if the DN parsing goes sideways? You get GNUTLS_E_PARSING_ERROR back. periodt. 💀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — slay, zero, the good number 🌈

Otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the cert equivalent of a "we need to talk" text 😭
