Detailed Description

Functions that operate on Ecore connection objects pertaining to SSL.

Function Documentation

◆ ecore_con_ssl_available_get()

ECORE_CON_API int ecore_con_ssl_available_get ( void  )

Returns if SSL support is available.

Returns
1 if SSL is available and provided by gnutls, 2 if SSL is available and provided by openssl, 0 if it is not available.

Referenced by ecore_ipc_ssl_available_get().

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_cert_add()

ECORE_CON_API Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_cert_add ( Ecore_Con_Server svr,
const char *  cert 
)

Adds an SSL certificate for use in ecore_con functions.

Use this function to add a SSL PEM certificate. Simply specify the cert here to use it in the server object for connecting or listening. If there is an error loading the certificate, an error will automatically be logged.

Parameters
svrThe server object
certThe path to the certificate.
Returns
EINA_FALSE if the file cannot be loaded, otherwise EINA_TRUE.
Examples
ecore_con_server_example.c.

References EINA_FALSE, eina_list_append(), EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN_VAL, EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_RETURN_VAL, eina_stringshare_add(), and EINA_TRUE.

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_privkey_add()

ECORE_CON_API Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_privkey_add ( Ecore_Con_Server svr,
const char *  key_file 
)

Adds an SSL private key for use in ecore_con functions.

Use this function to add a SSL PEM private key. Simply specify the key file here to use it in the server object for connecting or listening. If there is an error loading the key, an error will automatically be logged.

Parameters
svrThe server object.
key_fileThe path to the key file.
Returns
EINA_FALSE if the file cannot be loaded, otherwise EINA_TRUE.
Examples
ecore_con_server_example.c.

References EINA_FALSE, eina_list_append(), EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN_VAL, EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_RETURN_VAL, eina_stringshare_add(), and EINA_TRUE.

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_crl_add()

ECORE_CON_API Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_crl_add ( Ecore_Con_Server svr,
const char *  crl_file 
)

Adds an SSL CRL for use in ecore_con functions.

Use this function to add a SSL PEM CRL file. Simply specify the CRL file here to use it in the server object for connecting or listening. If there is an error loading the CRL, an error will automatically be logged.

Parameters
svrThe server object.
crl_fileThe path to the CRL file.
Returns
EINA_FALSE if the file cannot be loaded, otherwise EINA_TRUE.

References EINA_FALSE, eina_list_append(), EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN_VAL, EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_RETURN_VAL, eina_stringshare_add(), and EINA_TRUE.

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_cafile_add()

ECORE_CON_API Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_cafile_add ( Ecore_Con_Server svr,
const char *  ca_file 
)

Adds an SSL CA file for use in ecore_con functions.

Use this function to add a SSL PEM CA file. Simply specify the file here to use it in the server object for connecting or listening. If there is an error loading the CAs, an error will automatically be logged.

Parameters
svrThe server object.
ca_fileThe path to the CA file.
Returns
EINA_FALSE if the file cannot be loaded, otherwise EINA_TRUE.
Note
since 1.2, this function can load directories.
Examples
ecore_con_client_example.c.

References EINA_FALSE, eina_list_append(), EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN_VAL, EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_RETURN_VAL, eina_stringshare_add(), and EINA_TRUE.

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_verify()

ECORE_CON_API void ecore_con_ssl_server_verify ( Ecore_Con_Server svr)

Enables certificate verification on a server object.

Call this function on a server object before main loop has started to enable verification of certificates against loaded certificates.

Parameters
svrThe server object
Examples
ecore_con_client_example.c.

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN, EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_RETURN, EINA_TRUE, and WRN.

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_basic()

ECORE_CON_API void ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_basic ( Ecore_Con_Server svr)

Enables hostname-based certificate verification on a server object.

Call this function on a server object before main loop has started to enable verification of certificates using ONLY their hostnames.

Parameters
svrThe server object.
Note
This function has no effect when used on a listening server created by ecore_con_server_add.
Since
1.1
Examples
ecore_con_client_example.c.

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN, EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_RETURN, EINA_TRUE, and WRN.

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_name_set()

ECORE_CON_API void ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_name_set ( Ecore_Con_Server svr,
const char *  name 
)

Sets the hostname to verify against in certificate verification.

Sometimes the certificate hostname will not match the hostname that you are connecting to, and will instead match a different name. An example of this is that if you connect to talk.google.com to use Google Talk, you receive Google's certificate for gmail.com. This certificate should be trusted, and so you must call this function with "gmail.com" as name. See RFC2818 for more details.

Parameters
svrThe server object.
nameThe hostname to verify against
Since
1.2

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN, EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_RETURN, and eina_stringshare_replace().

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_name_get()

ECORE_CON_API const char * ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_name_get ( Ecore_Con_Server svr)

Gets the hostname to verify against in certificate verification.

This function returns the name which will be used to validate the SSL certificate common name (CN) or alt name (subjectAltName). It will default to the name param in ecore_con_server_connect(), but can be changed with ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_name_set().

Parameters
svrThe server object.
Returns
The hostname which will be used
Since
1.2

◆ ecore_con_ssl_server_upgrade()

ECORE_CON_API Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_upgrade ( Ecore_Con_Server svr,
Ecore_Con_Type  ssl_type 
)

Upgrades a connection to a specified level of encryption.

Use this function to begin an SSL handshake on a connection (STARTTLS or similar). Once the upgrade has been completed, an ECORE_CON_EVENT_SERVER_UPGRADE event will be emitted. The connection should be treated as disconnected until the next event.

Parameters
svrThe server object.
ssl_typeThe SSL connection type (ONLY).
Returns
EINA_FALSE if the connection cannot be upgraded, otherwise EINA_TRUE.
Note
This function is NEVER to be used on a server object created with ecore_con_server_add.
Warning
Setting a wrong value for ssl_type WILL mess up your program.
Since
1.1
Examples
ecore_con_client_example.c.

References ecore_animator_frametime_get(), ecore_con_server_flush(), ecore_time_get(), EINA_FALSE, EINA_SAFETY_ON_FALSE_RETURN_VAL, EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN_VAL, EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_RETURN_VAL, EINA_TRUE, and ERR.

◆ ecore_con_ssl_client_upgrade()

ECORE_CON_API Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_client_upgrade ( Ecore_Con_Client cl,
Ecore_Con_Type  ssl_type 
)

Upgrades a connection to a specified level of encryption.

Use this function to begin an SSL handshake on a connection (STARTTLS or similar). Once the upgrade has been completed, an ECORE_CON_EVENT_CLIENT_UPGRADE event will be emitted. The connection should be treated as disconnected until the next event.

Parameters
clThe client object.
ssl_typeThe SSL connection type (ONLY).
Returns
EINA_FALSE if the connection cannot be upgraded, otherwise EINA_TRUE.
Warning
Setting a wrong value for ssl_type WILL mess up your program.
