     PKCS12_create(3)       9/Oct/2002 (0.9.7e)       PKCS12_create(3)


     NAME
          PKCS12_create - create a PKCS#12 structure

     SYNOPSIS
           #include <openssl/pkcs12.h>

           PKCS12 *PKCS12_create(char *pass, char *name, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, STACK_OF(X509) *ca,
                                          int nid_key, int nid_cert, int iter, int mac_iter, int keytype);


     DESCRIPTION
          PKCS12_create() creates a PKCS#12 structure.

          pass is the passphrase to use. name is the friendlyName to
          use for the supplied certifictate and key. pkey is the
          private key to include in the structure and cert its
          corresponding certificates. ca, if not NULL is an optional
          set of certificates to also include in the structure.

          nid_key and nid_cert are the encryption algorithms that
          should be used for the key and certificate respectively.
          iter is the encryption algorithm iteration count to use and
          mac_iter is the MAC iteration count to use.  keytype is the
          type of key.

     NOTES
          The parameters nid_key, nid_cert, iter, mac_iter and keytype
          can all be set to zero and sensible defaults will be used.

          These defaults are: 40 bit RC2 encryption for certificates,
          triple DES encryption for private keys, a key iteration
          count of PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER (currently 2048) and a MAC
          iteration count of 1.

          The default MAC iteration count is 1 in order to retain
          compatibility with old software which did not interpret MAC
          iteration counts. If such compatibility is not required then
          mac_iter should be set to PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER.

          keytype adds a flag to the store private key. This is a non
          standard extension that is only currently interpreted by
          MSIE. If set to zero the flag is omitted, if set to KEY_SIG
          the key can be used for signing only, if set to KEY_EX it
          can be used for signing and encryption. This option was
          useful for old export grade software which could use signing
          only keys of arbitrary size but had restrictions on the
          permissible sizes of keys which could be used for
          encryption.
