# NAME
CURLOPT_SSLCERT - SSL client certificate
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, char *cert);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string should be
the filename of your client certificate. The default format is `PEM` but can
be changed with CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3).
(Schannel) Client certificates can be specified by a path expression to a
certificate store. (You can import *PFX* to a store first). You can use
"\<store location\>\\\<store name\>\\\<thumbprint\>" to refer to a certificate
in the system certificates store, for example,
**"CurrentUser\\MY\\934a7ac6f8a5d5"**. The thumbprint is usually a SHA-1 hex
string which you can see in certificate details. Following store locations are
supported: **CurrentUser**, **LocalMachine**, **CurrentService**,
**Services**, **CurrentUserGroupPolicy**, **LocalMachineGroupPolicy**,
**LocalMachineEnterprise**. Schannel also support P12 certificate file, with
the string `P12` specified with CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3).
When using a client certificate, you most likely also need to provide a
private key with CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3).
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
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");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
