Description
The function is used to import a key (usually an asymmetric key like RSA or DSA) into user's space from a certificate.
Parameters
name
The name of the key to be registered
cert
String containing the certificate
type
'X.509' is only supported value
fmt
The input format of the certificate: 3 - "DER", 1 - "PEM" or 2 - "PKCS#12".
pkey
When an X.509 certificate is imported, this can be supplied to load the corresponding private key also. This is optional. Note that when the PKCS#12 format is used to import an X.509 certificate, the private key is in the 'cert', hence this parameter in such case must be omitted.
pass
The password to unlock the private key. If not required this can be NULL to indicate no password is needed.
