89 <p>To sign a file using X509 certificate,
90 an application need to associate the certificate (or certificates)
91 with the private key using one of the following functions:
95 <li><p> <a href="xmlsec-openssl-app.html#XMLSECOPENSSLAPPKEYCERTLOAD">xmlSecOpenSSLAppKeyCertLoad</a> - loads
96 certificate from a file and adds to the key;
98 <li><p> <a href="xmlsec-openssl-app.html#XMLSECOPENSSLAPPPKCS12LOAD">xmlSecOpenSSLAppPkcs12Load</a> -
99 loads private key and all the certificates associated with it from a PKCS12 file;
101 <li><p> <a href="xmlsec-keys.html#XMLSECKEYADOPTDATA">xmlSecKeyAdoptData</a> - low level
102 function to add key data (including X509 key data) to the key.
105 <div class="EXAMPLE">
106 <a name="AEN423"></a><p><b>Example 1. Loading private key and X509 certificate.</b></p>
107 <pre class="PROGRAMLISTING"> /* load private key, assuming that there is not password */
108 key = xmlSecCryptoAppKeyLoad(key_file, xmlSecKeyDataFormatPem, NULL, NULL, NULL);
110 fprintf(stderr,"Error: failed to load private pem key from \"%s\"\n", key_file);
114 /* load certificate and add to the key */
115 if(xmlSecCryptoAppKeyCertLoad(key, cert_file, xmlSecKeyDataFormatPem) < 0) {
116 fprintf(stderr,"Error: failed to load pem certificate \"%s\"\n", cert_file);
120 <p><a href="xmlsec-examples-sign-x509.html#XMLSEC-EXAMPLE-SIGN3">Full program listing</a></p>
122 <p>Next step is to prepare signature template with <dsig:X509Data/>
123 child of the <dsig:KeyInfo/> element. When XML Security Library finds
124 this node in the template, it automaticaly creates <dsig:X509Certificate/>
125 children of the <dsig:X509Data/> element and writes to result XML document
126 all the certificates associated with the signature key.
