[Help-gnutls] Re: Load Server private key problem

[Simon Josefsson]

Check out the manual:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/PKCS-_002312-structures.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/PKCS-_002312-structure-generation.html

Also see the source code for the certtool tool, in src/certtool.c, it
does both PKCS#8 and PKCS#12 operations.

If you develop some code that you think would be useful to include as an
example, please consider to contribute it so others can be helped by it!
