# NAME
CURLOPT_SSLCERT - SSL client certificate
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, char *cert);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string should be
the filename of your client certificate. The default format is "P12" on Secure
Transport and "PEM" on other engines, and can be changed with
CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3).
With Secure Transport, this can also be the nickname of the certificate you
wish to authenticate with as it is named in the security database. If you want
to use a file from the current directory, please precede it with "./" prefix,
in order to avoid confusion with a nickname.
(Schannel only) Client certificates can be specified by a path expression to a
certificate store. (You can import *PFX* to a store first). You can use
"<store location><store name><thumbprint>" to refer to a certificate in the
system certificates store, for example,
**"CurrentUserMY934a7ac6f8a5d579285a74fa"**. The thumbprint is usually a SHA-1
hex string which you can see in certificate details. Following store locations
are supported: **CurrentUser**, **LocalMachine**, **CurrentService**,
**Services**, **CurrentUserGroupPolicy**, **LocalMachineGroupPolicy**,
**LocalMachineEnterprise**. Schannel also support P12 certificate file, with
the string "P12" specified with CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3).
When using a client certificate, you most likely also need to provide a
private key with CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3).
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/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
