|
|
|

|
|
SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb, SSL_CTX_get_client_cert_cb - handle client certificate callback function
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx,
|
||
|
|
int (*client_cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, X509 **x509,
|
||
|
|
EVP_PKEY **pkey));
|
||
|
|
int (*SSL_CTX_get_client_cert_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx))(SSL *ssl, X509 **x509,
|
||
|
|
EVP_PKEY **pkey);
|
||
|
|
int (*client_cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, X509 **x509, EVP_PKEY **pkey);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb() sets the client_cert_cb() callback, that is
|
||
|
|
called when a client certificate is requested by a server and no certificate
|
||
|
|
was yet set for the SSL object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When client_cert_cb() is NULL, no callback function is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSL_CTX_get_client_cert_cb() returns a pointer to the currently set callback
|
||
|
|
function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
client_cert_cb() is the application defined callback. If it wants to
|
||
|
|
set a certificate, a certificate/private key combination must be set
|
||
|
|
using the B<x509> and B<pkey> arguments and "1" must be returned. The
|
||
|
|
certificate will be installed into B<ssl>, see the NOTES and BUGS sections.
|
||
|
|
If no certificate should be set, "0" has to be returned and no certificate
|
||
|
|
will be sent. A negative return value will suspend the handshake and the
|
||
|
|
handshake function will return immediately. L<SSL_get_error(3)>
|
||
|
|
will return SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP to indicate, that the handshake was
|
||
|
|
suspended. The next call to the handshake function will again lead to the call
|
||
|
|
of client_cert_cb(). It is the job of the client_cert_cb() to store information
|
||
|
|
about the state of the last call, if required to continue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During a handshake (or renegotiation) a server may request a certificate
|
||
|
|
from the client. A client certificate must only be sent, when the server
|
||
|
|
did send the request.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When a certificate was set using the
|
||
|
|
L<SSL_CTX_use_certificate(3)> family of functions,
|
||
|
|
it will be sent to the server. The TLS standard requires that only a
|
||
|
|
certificate is sent, if it matches the list of acceptable CAs sent by the
|
||
|
|
server. This constraint is violated by the default behavior of the OpenSSL
|
||
|
|
library. Using the callback function it is possible to implement a proper
|
||
|
|
selection routine or to allow a user interaction to choose the certificate to
|
||
|
|
be sent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a callback function is defined and no certificate was yet defined for the
|
||
|
|
SSL object, the callback function will be called.
|
||
|
|
If the callback function returns a certificate, the OpenSSL library
|
||
|
|
will try to load the private key and certificate data into the SSL
|
||
|
|
object using the SSL_use_certificate() and SSL_use_private_key() functions.
|
||
|
|
Thus it will permanently install the certificate and key for this SSL
|
||
|
|
object. It will not be reset by calling L<SSL_clear(3)>.
|
||
|
|
If the callback returns no certificate, the OpenSSL library will not send
|
||
|
|
a certificate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSL_CTX_get_client_cert_cb() returns function pointer of client_cert_cb() or
|
||
|
|
NULL if the callback is not set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The client_cert_cb() cannot return a complete certificate chain, it can
|
||
|
|
only return one client certificate. If the chain only has a length of 2,
|
||
|
|
the root CA certificate may be omitted according to the TLS standard and
|
||
|
|
thus a standard conforming answer can be sent to the server. For a
|
||
|
|
longer chain, the client must send the complete chain (with the option
|
||
|
|
to leave out the root CA certificate). This can only be accomplished by
|
||
|
|
either adding the intermediate CA certificates into the trusted
|
||
|
|
certificate store for the SSL_CTX object (resulting in having to add
|
||
|
|
CA certificates that otherwise maybe would not be trusted), or by adding
|
||
|
|
the chain certificates using the
|
||
|
|
L<SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3)>
|
||
|
|
function, which is only available for the SSL_CTX object as a whole and that
|
||
|
|
therefore probably can only apply for one client certificate, making
|
||
|
|
the concept of the callback function (to allow the choice from several
|
||
|
|
certificates) questionable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the SSL object has been used in conjunction with the callback function,
|
||
|
|
the certificate will be set for the SSL object and will not be cleared
|
||
|
|
even when L<SSL_clear(3)> is being called. It is therefore
|
||
|
|
mandatory to destroy the SSL object using L<SSL_free(3)>
|
||
|
|
and create a new one to return to the previous state.
