# [NAME](#NAME)

gnutls\_x509\_crt\_set\_proxy\_dn - API function

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**#include <gnutls/x509.h>**

**int gnutls\_x509\_crt\_set\_proxy\_dn(gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t crt, gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t eecrt, unsigned int raw\_flag, const void * name, unsigned int sizeof\_name);**

# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

[gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t crt](#gnutls_x509_crt_t)

a gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t type with the new proxy cert

[gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t eecrt](#gnutls_x509_crt_t~2)

the end entity certificate that will be issuing the proxy

[unsigned int raw\_flag](#unsigned)

must be 0, or 1 if the CN is DER encoded

[const void * name](#const)

a pointer to the CN name, may be NULL (but MUST then be added later)

[unsigned int sizeof\_name](#unsigned~2)

holds the size of *name*

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This function will set the subject in *crt* to the end entity's  
*eecrt* subject name, and add a single Common Name component *name* of size *sizeof\_name* . This corresponds to the required proxy certificate naming style. Note that if *name* is **NULL**, you MUST set it later by using **gnutls\_x509\_crt\_set\_dn\_by\_oid()** or similar.

# [RETURNS](#RETURNS)

On success, **GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
