The input string should be ASCII or UTF\-8 encoded. Some helper macros with popular OIDs can be found in gnutls/x509.h With this function you can only set the known OIDs. You can test for known OIDs using \fBgnutls_x509_dn_oid_known()\fP. For OIDs that are not known (by gnutls) you should properly DER encode your data, and call this function with \fIraw_flag\fP set. Normally you do not need to call this function, since the signing operation will copy the signer's name as the issuer of the certificate. .SH "RETURNS" On success, \fBGNUTLS_E_SUCCESS\fP is returned, otherwise a negative error value. .SH "REPORTING BUGS" Report bugs to . .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright \(co 2008 Free Software Foundation. .br Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved on all copies. .SH "SEE ALSO" The full documentation for .B gnutls is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
