HTTPS Client Authentication (Mutual Authentication)

[cbourne]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a quick prototype that makes an HTTPS request to a server. However, the server requires the client to present a certificate to identify itself. i.e. Mutual Authentication.

I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find even a basic example or documentation of where to start here. I did the same thing using a Ruby script in about 5 mins.

Can anybody provide a simple example or point me at some documentation?

Best Regards,

Carl

QSslSocket::addCaCertificate(), QSslSocket::setLocalCertificate(), QSslSocket::setPrivateKey() or QSslSocket::setSslConfiguration(). There is also QNetworkRequest::setSslConfiguration() in case you want to use QNetworkAccessManager directly.

Thanks for the pointers - I'll give this a try. Guess theres no working examples available?
