TLS parameters example ============================= This examples demonstrates a TLS session with RabbitMQ using server authentication. It was tested against RabbitMQ 3.6.10, using Python 3.6.1 and pre-release Pika `0.11.0` Note the use of `ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1`. The recent versions of RabbitMQ disable older versions of SSL due to security vulnerabilities. See https://www.rabbitmq.com/ssl.html for certificate creation and rabbitmq SSL configuration instructions. tls_example.py:: import ssl import pika import logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1) context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED context.load_verify_locations('/Users/me/tls-gen/basic/testca/cacert.pem') cp = pika.ConnectionParameters(ssl_options=pika.SSLOptions(context)) conn = pika.BlockingConnection(cp) ch = conn.channel() print(ch.queue_declare("sslq")) ch.publish("", "sslq", "abc") print(ch.basic_get("sslq")) rabbitmq.config:: %% Both the client and rabbitmq server were running on the same machine, a MacBookPro laptop. %% %% rabbitmq.config was created in its default location for OS X: /usr/local/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config. %% %% The contents of the example rabbitmq.config are for demonstration purposes only. See https://www.rabbitmq.com/ssl.html for instructions about creating the test certificates and the contents of rabbitmq.config. %% %% Note that the {fail_if_no_peer_cert,false} option, states that RabbitMQ should accept clients that don't have a certificate to send to the broker, but through the {verify,verify_peer} option, we state that if the client does send a certificate to the broker, the broker must be able to establish a chain of trust to it.
