int gnutls_x509_crt_sign2(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer, gnutls_x509_privkey_t issuer_key, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_crt_t crt
    a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t

gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer
    is the certificate of the certificate issuer

gnutls_x509_privkey_t issuer_key
    holds the issuer's private key

gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig
    The message digest to use, GNUTLS_DIG_SHA1 is a safe choice

DESCRIPTION
This function will sign the certificate with the issuer's private key, and will copy the issuer's information into the certificate.

This must be the last step in a certificate generation since all the previously set parameters are now signed.
