NAME

       CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD - passphrase to private key

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, char *pwd);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  pointer  to  a  null-terminated  string  as parameter. It is used as the password
       required to use the CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) or CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE(3) private key.   You
       never need a pass phrase to load a certificate but you need one to load your private key.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "superman");
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }
