g_dtls_client_connection_new (GDatagramBased *base_socket,

                              GError **error);

Creates a new GDtlsClientConnection wrapping base_socket which is assumed to communicate with the server identified by server_identity .

g_dtls_client_connection_set_server_identity ()

void
g_dtls_client_connection_set_server_identity
                               (GDtlsClientConnection *conn,
                                GSocketConnectable *identity);

Sets conn 's expected server identity, which is used both to tell servers on virtual hosts which certificate to present, and also to let conn know what name to look for in the certificate when performing G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_BAD_IDENTITY validation, if enabled.

g_dtls_client_connection_get_server_identity ()

GSocketConnectable *
g_dtls_client_connection_get_server_identity
                               (GDtlsClientConnection *conn);

Gets conn 's expected server identity

void

                               (GDtlsClientConnection *conn,
                                GTlsCertificateFlags flags);

Sets conn 's validation flags, to override the default set of checks performed when validating a server certificate. By default, G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_VALIDATE_ALL is used.

This function does not work as originally designed and is impossible to use correctly. See “validation-flags” for more information.

GTlsCertificateFlags

g_dtls_client_connection_get_accepted_cas ()

GList *
g_dtls_client_connection_get_accepted_cas
                               (GDtlsClientConnection *conn);

Gets the list of distinguished names of the Certificate Authorities that the server will accept certificates from. This will be set during the TLS handshake if the server requests a certificate. Otherwise, it will be NULL.

Each item in the list is a GByteArray which contains the complete subject DN of the certificate authority.

GDtlsClientConnection

typedef struct _GDtlsClientConnection GDtlsClientConnection;

Abstract base class for the backend-specific client connection type.

Since: 2.48

struct GDtlsClientConnectionInterface

struct GDtlsClientConnectionInterface {
  GTypeInterface g_iface;
};

vtable for a GDtlsClientConnection implementation.

Since: 2.48

The “accepted-cas” property

  “accepted-cas”             gpointer

A list of the distinguished names of the Certificate Authorities that the server will accept client certificates signed by. If the server requests a client certificate during the handshake, then this property will be set after the handshake completes.

Each item in the list is a GByteArray which contains the complete subject DN of the certificate authority.

The “server-identity” property

  “server-identity”          GSocketConnectable *

A GSocketConnectable describing the identity of the server that is expected on the other end of the connection.

If the G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_BAD_IDENTITY flag is set in “validation-flags”, this object will be used to determine the expected identify of the remote end of the connection; if “server-identity” is not set, or does not match the identity presented by the server, then the G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_BAD_IDENTITY validation will fail.

In addition to its use in verifying the server certificate, this is also used to give a hint to the server about what certificate we expect, which is useful for servers that serve virtual hosts.

The “validation-flags” property

  “validation-flags”         GTlsCertificateFlags

What steps to perform when validating a certificate received from a server. Server certificates that fail to validate in any of the ways indicated here will be rejected unless the application overrides the default via “accept-certificate”.

GLib guarantees that if certificate verification fails, at least one flag will be set, but it does not guarantee that all possible flags will be set. Accordingly, you may not safely decide to ignore any particular type of error. For example, it would be incorrect to mask G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_EXPIRED if you want to allow expired certificates, because this could potentially be the only error flag set even if other problems exist with the certificate. Therefore, there is no safe way to use this property. This is not a horrible problem, though, because you should not be attempting to ignore validation errors anyway. If you really must ignore TLS certificate errors, connect to “accept-certificate”.
