GTlsCertificate

typedef struct _GTlsCertificate GTlsCertificate;

Abstract base class for TLS certificate types.

Since 2.28

g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem ()

GTlsCertificate *   g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem      (const gchar *data,
                                                         gssize length,
                                                         GError **error);

Creates a new GTlsCertificate from the PEM-encoded data in data. If data includes both a certificate and a private key, then the returned certificate will include the private key data as well. (See the "private-key-pem" property for information about supported formats.)

If data includes multiple certificates, only the first one will be parsed.

Since 2.28

g_tls_certificate_new_from_file ()

GTlsCertificate *   g_tls_certificate_new_from_file     (const gchar *file,
                                                         GError **error);

Creates a GTlsCertificate from the PEM-encoded data in file. If file cannot be read or parsed, the function will return NULL and set error. Otherwise, this behaves like g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem().

Since 2.28

g_tls_certificate_new_from_files ()

GTlsCertificate *   g_tls_certificate_new_from_files    (const gchar *cert_file,
                                                         const gchar *key_file,
                                                         GError **error);

Creates a GTlsCertificate from the PEM-encoded data in cert_file and key_file. If either file cannot be read or parsed, the function will return NULL and set error. Otherwise, this behaves like g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem().

Since 2.28

g_tls_certificate_list_new_from_file ()

GList *             g_tls_certificate_list_new_from_file
                                                        (const gchar *file,
                                                         GError **error);

Creates one or more GTlsCertificates from the PEM-encoded data in file. If file cannot be read or parsed, the function will return NULL and set error. If file does not contain any PEM-encoded certificates, this will return an empty list and not set error.

Since 2.28

g_tls_certificate_get_issuer ()

GTlsCertificate *   g_tls_certificate_get_issuer        (GTlsCertificate *cert);

Gets the GTlsCertificate representing cert's issuer, if known

Since 2.28

g_tls_certificate_verify ()

GTlsCertificateFlags g_tls_certificate_verify           (GTlsCertificate *cert,
                                                         GSocketConnectable *identity,
                                                         GTlsCertificate *trusted_ca);

This verifies cert and returns a set of GTlsCertificateFlags indicating any problems found with it. This can be used to verify a certificate outside the context of making a connection, or to check a certificate against a CA that is not part of the system CA database.

If identity is not NULL, cert's name(s) will be compared against it, and G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_BAD_IDENTITY will be set in the return value if it does not match. If identity is NULL, that bit will never be set in the return value.

If trusted_ca is not NULL, then cert (or one of the certificates in its chain) must be signed by it, or else G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN_CA will be set in the return value. If trusted_ca is NULL, that bit will never be set in the return value.

(All other GTlsCertificateFlags values will always be set or unset as appropriate.)

Since 2.28

g_tls_certificate_is_same ()

gboolean            g_tls_certificate_is_same           (GTlsCertificate *cert_one,
                                                         GTlsCertificate *cert_two);

Check if two GTlsCertificate objects represent the same certificate. The raw DER byte data of the two certificates are checked for equality. This has the effect that two certificates may compare equal even if their "issuer", "private-key", or "private-key-pem" properties differ.

Since 2.34

The "certificate" property

  "certificate"              GByteArray*           : Read / Write / Construct Only

The DER (binary) encoded representation of the certificate. This property and the "certificate-pem" property represent the same data, just in different forms.

Since 2.28

The "certificate-pem" property

  "certificate-pem"          gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct Only

The PEM (ASCII) encoded representation of the certificate. This property and the "certificate" property represent the same data, just in different forms.

Default value: NULL

Since 2.28

The "issuer" property

  "issuer"                   GTlsCertificate*      : Read / Write / Construct Only

A GTlsCertificate representing the entity that issued this certificate. If NULL, this means that the certificate is either self-signed, or else the certificate of the issuer is not available.

Since 2.28

The "private-key" property

  "private-key"              GByteArray*           : Write / Construct Only

The DER (binary) encoded representation of the certificate's private key, in either PKCS#1 format or unencrypted PKCS#8 format. This property (or the "private-key-pem" property) can be set when constructing a key (eg, from a file), but cannot be read.

PKCS#8 format is supported since 2.32; earlier releases only support PKCS#1. You can use the openssl rsa tool to convert PKCS#8 keys to PKCS#1.

Since 2.28

The "private-key-pem" property

  "private-key-pem"          gchar*                : Write / Construct Only

The PEM (ASCII) encoded representation of the certificate's private key in either PKCS#1 format ("BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY") or unencrypted PKCS#8 format ("BEGIN PRIVATE KEY"). This property (or the "private-key" property) can be set when constructing a key (eg, from a file), but cannot be read.

PKCS#8 format is supported since 2.32; earlier releases only support PKCS#1. You can use the openssl rsa tool to convert PKCS#8 keys to PKCS#1.

Default value: NULL
