.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB \- SSL client certificate from memory blob
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB,
                          struct curl_blob *stblob);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains (pointer and size) a
client certificate. The format must be "P12" on Secure Transport or
Schannel. The format must be "P12" or "PEM" on OpenSSL. The format must be
\&"DER" or "PEM" on mbedTLS. The format must be specified with
\fICURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3)\fP.

If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob set to
CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer around after
setting this.

This option is an alternative to \fICURLOPT_SSLCERT(3)\fP which instead
expects a filename as input.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

This option works only with the following TLS backends:
OpenSSL, Schannel, Secure Transport and mbedTLS
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf

extern char *certificateData; /* point to data */
extern size_t filesize; /* size of data */

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    struct curl_blob stblob;
    stblob.data = certificateData;
    stblob.len = filesize;
    stblob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB, &stblob);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, "P12");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.71.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
