# nng_tls_config_ca_file(3tls) Manual Page

## NAME

nng_tls_config_ca_file - load certificate authority from file

## SYNOPSIS

    #include <nng/nng.h>
    #include <nng/supplemental/tls/tls.h>

    int nng_tls_config_ca_file(nng_tls_config *cfg, const char *path);

## DESCRIPTION

The `nng_tls_config_ca_file()` function configures the certificate authority certificate chain and optional revocation list by loading the certificates (and revocation list if present) from a single named file. The file must at least one X.509 certificate in PEM format, and may contain multiple such certificates, as well as zero or more PEM CRL objects. This information is used to validate certificates that are presented by peers, when using the configuration cfg.

| Certificates must be configured when using the authentication mode `NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_REQUIRED`.

| This function may be called multiple times, to add additional chains to a configuration, without affecting those added previously.

## RETURN VALUES

This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.

## ERRORS

`NNG_ENOMEM` | Insufficient memory is available.
`NNG_EBUSY` | The configuration cfg is already in use, and cannot be modified.
`NNG_EINVAL` | The contents of path are invalid or do not contain a valid PEM certificate.
`NNG_ENOENT` | The file path does not exist.
`NNG_EPERM` | The file path is not readable.
