## Detailed Description

Functions that operate on Ecore connection objects pertaining to SSL.

## Function Documentation

EAPI 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 provided by openssl, 0 if it is not available.

Referenced by ecore_ipc_ssl_available_get().

Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_cert_add | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj,
|  | const char * | cert
| ) |  |

Add 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

  svr | The server object
  cert | The path to the certificate.

Returns
  `EINA_FALSE` if the file cannot be loaded, otherwise `EINA_TRUE`.

Examples:
  ecore_con_server_example.c.

References ECORE_CON_LOAD_CERT, ECORE_CON_USE_MIXED, EINA_FALSE, and EINA_TRUE.

Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_privkey_add | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj,
|  | const char * | key_file
| ) |  |

Add 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

  svr | The server object
  key_file | The path to the key file.

Returns
  `EINA_FALSE` if the file cannot be loaded, otherwise `EINA_TRUE`.

Examples:
  ecore_con_server_example.c.

References ECORE_CON_LOAD_CERT, ECORE_CON_USE_MIXED, EINA_FALSE, and EINA_TRUE.

Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_crl_add | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj,
|  | const char * | crl_file
| ) |  |

Add 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

  svr | The server object
  crl_file | The path to the CRL file.

Returns
  `EINA_FALSE` if the file cannot be loaded, otherwise `EINA_TRUE`.

References ECORE_CON_LOAD_CERT, ECORE_CON_USE_MIXED, EINA_FALSE, and EINA_TRUE.

Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_cafile_add | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj,
|  | const char * | ca_file
| ) |  |

Add 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

  svr | The server object
  ca_file | The 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 directores

Examples:
  ecore_con_client_example.c.

References ECORE_CON_LOAD_CERT, ECORE_CON_USE_MIXED, EINA_FALSE, and EINA_TRUE.

void ecore_con_ssl_server_verify | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj | ) |

Enable 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

  svr | The server object

Examples:
  ecore_con_client_example.c.

References EINA_TRUE.

void ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_basic | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj | ) |

Enable 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

  svr | The server object

Note
  This function has no effect when used on a listening server created by ecore_con_server_add

Since
  1.1

References EINA_TRUE.

void ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_name_set | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj,
|  | const char * | name
| ) |  |

Set 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

  svr | The server object
  name | The hostname to verify against

Since
  1.2

const char * ecore_con_ssl_server_verify_name_get | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj | ) |

Get 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

  svr | The server object

Returns
  The hostname which will be used

Since
  1.2

Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_server_upgrade | ( | Ecore_Con_Server * | obj,
|  | Ecore_Con_Type | ssl_type
| ) |  |

Upgrade 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

  svr | The server object
  ssl_type | The 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 `compl_type` WILL mess up your program.

Since
  1.1

References EINA_FALSE, and EINA_TRUE.

Eina_Bool ecore_con_ssl_client_upgrade | ( | Ecore_Con_Client * | obj,
|  | Ecore_Con_Type | ssl_type
| ) |  |

Upgrade 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

  cl | The client object
  ssl_type | The SSL connection type (ONLY).

Returns
  `EINA_FALSE` if the connection cannot be upgraded, otherwise `EINA_TRUE`.

Warning
  Setting a wrong value for `compl_type` WILL mess up your program.

Since
  1.1
