Loading an SSL certificate located in code

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

Hey,

I want to make load a QsslCertificate which I have copied from the .pem file into the code. It looks like this:

      const char * certData = "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\
 dY32TQ==\
(...)\
 -----END CERTIFICATE-----";
    QSslCertificate cert(certData);
    if (cert.isNull()) {
        QMessageBox::information(0,"Certificate is null.", certData);
    }

But cert.isNull() returns true. How do I need to reformat my certificate data for it to load correctly?

Thanks!
Nathan

Well, I managed to load my certificate using

QList<QSslCertificate>  certs = QSslCertificate::fromPath(":/certificate.pem");

And adding certificate.pem to the resources.

Please this code from me where I did exactly this:
https://github.com/cybercatalyst/qtwebserver/blob/master/tcp/tcpmultithreadedserver.cpp#L141

void MultithreadedServer::setDefaultSslConfiguration() {
// Set a default SSL configuration just to have it running out of the
// box. Only for development purposes, never distribute an application
// that relies on SSL with the default configuration set. You can
// generate your own key and self-signed certificate:
//
// $ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -nodes -days 365 -out server.crt

QSslConfiguration sslConfiguration;
