# NAME
CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD - passphrase to private key
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, char *pwd);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used as the
password required to use the CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) or
CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE(3) private key. You never need a pass phrase to
load a certificate but you need one to load your private key.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# PROTOCOLS
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "superman");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
