.TH CURLOPT_SSLKEY 3 "November 04, 2020" "libcurl 7.77.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SSLKEY \- specify private keyfile for TLS and SSL client cert
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, char *keyfile);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string should be
the file name of your private key. The default format is "PEM" and can be
changed with \fICURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3)\fP.
(iOS and Mac OS X only) This option is ignored if curl was built against
Secure Transport. Secure Transport expects the private key to be already
present in the keychain or PKCS#12 file containing the certificate.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
.SH PROTOCOLS
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
.fi
