Description: Reference for Gio.TlsCertificate

### Class

# GioTlsCertificate

since: 2.28

#### Description [src]

    abstract class Gio.TlsCertificate : GObject.Object
    {
      GTlsCertificatePrivate* priv
    }

A certificate used for TLS authentication and encryption. This can represent either a certificate only (eg, the certificate received by a client from a server), or the combination of a certificate and a private key (which is needed when acting as a `GTlsServerConnection`).

Available since: 2.28

#### Ancestors

- GObject

#### Constructors

###### g_tls_certificate_new_from_file

Creates a `GTlsCertificate` from the data in `file`.

since: 2.28

###### g_tls_certificate_new_from_file_with_password

Creates a `GTlsCertificate` from the data in `file`.

since: 2.72

###### g_tls_certificate_new_from_files

Creates a `GTlsCertificate` from the PEM-encoded data in `cert_file` and `key_file`. The returned certificate will be the first certificate found in `cert_file`. As of GLib 2.44, if `cert_file` contains more certificates it will try to load a certificate chain. All certificates will be verified in the order found (top-level certificate should be the last one in the file) and the `GTlsCertificate:issuer` property of each certificate will be set accordingly if the verification succeeds. If any certificate in the chain cannot be verified, the first certificate in the file will still be returned.

since: 2.28

###### g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem

Creates a `GTlsCertificate` from the PEM-encoded data in `data`. If `data` includes both a certificate and a private key, then the returned certificate will include the private key data as well. (See the `GTlsCertificate:private-key-pem` property for information about supported formats.).

since: 2.28

###### g_tls_certificate_new_from_pkcs11_uris

Creates a `GTlsCertificate` from a PKCS #11 URI.

since: 2.68

###### g_tls_certificate_new_from_pkcs12

Creates a `GTlsCertificate` from the data in `data`. It must contain a certificate and matching private key.

since: 2.72

#### Functions

###### g_tls_certificate_list_new_from_file

Creates one or more `GTlsCertificates` from the PEM-encoded data in `file`. If `file` cannot be read or parsed, the function will return `NULL` and set `error`. If `file` does not contain any PEM-encoded certificates, this will return an empty list and not set `error`.

since: 2.28

#### Instance methods

###### g_tls_certificate_get_dns_names

Gets the value of `GTlsCertificate:dns-names`.

since: 2.70

###### g_tls_certificate_get_ip_addresses

Gets the value of `GTlsCertificate:ip-addresses`.

since: 2.70

###### g_tls_certificate_get_issuer

Gets the `GTlsCertificate` representing `cert`‘s issuer, if known.

since: 2.28

###### g_tls_certificate_get_issuer_name

Returns the issuer name from the certificate.

since: 2.70

###### g_tls_certificate_get_not_valid_after

Returns the time at which the certificate became or will become invalid.

since: 2.70

###### g_tls_certificate_get_not_valid_before

Returns the time at which the certificate became or will become valid.

since: 2.70

###### g_tls_certificate_get_subject_name

Returns the subject name from the certificate.

since: 2.70

###### g_tls_certificate_is_same

Check if two `GTlsCertificate` objects represent the same certificate. The raw DER byte data of the two certificates are checked for equality. This has the effect that two certificates may compare equal even if their `GTlsCertificate:issuer`, `GTlsCertificate:private-key`, or `GTlsCertificate:private-key-pem` properties differ.

since: 2.34

###### g_tls_certificate_verify

This verifies `cert` and returns a set of `GTlsCertificateFlags` indicating any problems found with it. This can be used to verify a certificate outside the context of making a connection, or to check a certificate against a CA that is not part of the system CA database.

since: 2.28

##### Methods inherited from GObject (43)

Please see GObject for a full list of methods.

#### Properties

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:certificate

The DER (binary) encoded representation of the certificate. This property and the `GTlsCertificate:certificate-pem` property represent the same data, just in different forms.

since: 2.28

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:certificate-pem

The PEM (ASCII) encoded representation of the certificate. This property and the `GTlsCertificate:certificate` property represent the same data, just in different forms.

since: 2.28

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:dns-names

The DNS names from the certificate’s Subject Alternative Names (SANs), `NULL` if unavailable.

since: 2.70

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:ip-addresses

The IP addresses from the certificate’s Subject Alternative Names (SANs), `NULL` if unavailable.

since: 2.70

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:issuer

A `GTlsCertificate` representing the entity that issued this certificate. If `NULL`, this means that the certificate is either self-signed, or else the certificate of the issuer is not available.

since: 2.28

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:issuer-name

The issuer from the certificate, `NULL` if unavailable.

since: 2.70

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:not-valid-after

The time at which this cert is no longer valid, `NULL` if unavailable.

since: 2.70

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:not-valid-before

The time at which this cert is considered to be valid, `NULL` if unavailable.

since: 2.70

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:password

An optional password used when constructed with GTlsCertificate:pkcs12-data.

since: 2.72

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:pkcs11-uri

A URI referencing the PKCS #11 objects containing an X.509 certificate and optionally a private key.

since: 2.68

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:pkcs12-data

The PKCS #12 formatted data used to construct the object.

since: 2.72

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:private-key

The DER (binary) encoded representation of the certificate’s private key, in either PKCS #1 format or unencrypted PKCS #8 format. PKCS #8 format is supported since 2.32; earlier releases only support PKCS #1. You can use the `openssl rsa` tool to convert PKCS #8 keys to PKCS #1.

since: 2.28

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:private-key-pem

The PEM (ASCII) encoded representation of the certificate’s private key in either PKCS #1 format (“`BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY`“) or unencrypted PKCS #8 format (“`BEGIN PRIVATE KEY`“). PKCS #8 format is supported since 2.32; earlier releases only support PKCS #1. You can use the `openssl rsa` tool to convert PKCS #8 keys to PKCS #1.

since: 2.28

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:private-key-pkcs11-uri

A URI referencing a PKCS #11 object containing a private key.

since: 2.68

###### Gio.TlsCertificate:subject-name

The subject from the cert, `NULL` if unavailable.

since: 2.70

#### Signals

##### Signals inherited from GObject (1)

###### GObject::notify

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.
