# [NAME](#NAME)

gnutls\_x509\_crq\_sign - API function

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

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

**int gnutls\_x509\_crq\_sign(gnutls\_x509\_crq\_t crq, gnutls\_x509\_privkey\_t key);**

# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

[gnutls\_x509\_crq\_t crq](#gnutls_x509_crq_t)

should contain a **gnutls\_x509\_crq\_t** type

[gnutls\_x509\_privkey\_t key](#gnutls_x509_privkey_t)

holds a private key

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This function is the same a **gnutls\_x509\_crq\_sign2()** with no flags, and an appropriate hash algorithm. The hash algorithm used may vary between versions of GnuTLS, and it is tied to the security level of the issuer's public key.

A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed request will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until it is exported an re-imported.

# [RETURNS](#RETURNS)

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