NAME
CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD - passphrase to private key
SYNOPSIS
#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 will be
used as the password required to use the CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) or CUR-
LOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE(3) private key. You never needed 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
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
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");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
This option was known as CURLOPT_SSLKEYPASSWD up to 7.16.4 and CUR-
LOPT_SSLCERTPASSWD up to 7.9.2.
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
