NAME
----
nng_tls_config_ca_cert - configure certificate authority certificate chain

SYNOPSIS
--------

[source, c]
-----------
#include <nng/nng.h>

int nng_tls_config_ca_cert(nni_tls_config *cfg, const uint8_t *chain, size_t size)
-----------

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The `nng_tls_config_ca_cert()` function configures a certificate or
certificate chain to be used when validating peers using the configuragion
'cfg'.

NOTE: This function *must* be called when the TLS authentication mode SYNOPSIS
`NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_REQUIRED` or `NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_OPTIONAL`.  It will have
no effect if the authentication mode is `NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_NONE`.

TIP: This function may be called multiple times, to add additional chains
to a configuration, without affecting those added previously.

The certificates located in 'chain' may be in either
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7468[PEM] or DER format.  When the 'chain' is
in PEM format, the certificates will be ASCII encoded, and concatenated
together.  In this case the value of 'size' will be length of the
corresponding string (without any terminating NUL byte).

When using DER encoding, the 'size' will be the total number of bytes, after
encoding.


RETURN VALUES
-------------

This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.

ERRORS
------

`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient memory is available.
`NNG_EBUSY`:: The configuration 'cfg' is already in use, and cannot be modified.
`NNG_EINVAL`:: An invalid 'chain' or 'size' was supplied.
