NAME

       gnutls_srp_set_server_credentials_function - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void            gnutls_srp_set_server_credentials_function(gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t
       cred, gnutls_srp_server_credentials_function         * func);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t         cred
                   is a gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t type.

       gnutls_srp_server_credentials_function         * func
                   is the callback function

DESCRIPTION

       This function can be used to set a callback to retrieve the user's SRP  credentials.   The
       callback's function form is:

       int    (*callback)(gnutls_session_t,   const   char*   username,   gnutls_datum_t   *salt,
       gnutls_datum_t *verifier, gnutls_datum_t *generator, gnutls_datum_t *prime);

        username contains the actual username.  The  salt ,  verifier  ,   generator  and   prime
       must  be  filled  in  using the gnutls_malloc(). For convenience  prime and  generator may
       also be one of the static parameters defined in gnutls.h.

       Initially, the data field is NULL in every gnutls_datum_t structure that the callback  has
       to  fill  in.  When the callback is done GnuTLS deallocates all of those buffers which are
       non-NULL, regardless of the return value.

       In order to prevent attackers from guessing valid usernames, if a user does not  exist,  g
       and  n  values  should  be  filled  in  using a random user's parameters. In that case the
       callback must return the special value (1).  See gnutls_srp_set_server_fake_salt_seed too.
       If  this  is not required for your application, return a negative number from the callback
       to abort the handshake.

       The callback function will only be called  once  per  handshake.   The  callback  function
       should return 0 on success, while -1 indicates an error.
