DRb::DRbSSLSocket::SSLConfig

Create a new DRb::DRbSSLSocket::SSLConfig instance

The DRb::DRbSSLSocket will take either a config Hash or an instance of SSLConfig, and will setup the certificate for its session for the configuration. If want it to generate a generic certificate, the bare minimum is to provide the :SSLCertName

Config options¶ ↑

From config Hash:

:SSLCertificate

An instance of OpenSSL::X509::Certificate. If this is not provided, then a generic X509 is generated, with a correspond :SSLPrivateKey

:SSLPrivateKey

A private key instance, like OpenSSL::PKey::RSA. This key must be the key that signed the :SSLCertificate

:SSLClientCA

An OpenSSL::X509::Certificate, or Array of certificates that will used as ClientCAs in the SSL Context

:SSLCACertificatePath

A path to the directory of CA certificates. The certificates must be in PEM format.

:SSLCACertificateFile

A path to a CA certificate file, in PEM format.

:SSLTmpDhCallback

A DH callback. See OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.tmp_dh_callback

:SSLVerifyMode

This is the SSL verification mode. See OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_* for available modes. The default is OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

:SSLVerifyDepth

Number of CA certificates to walk, when verifying a certificate chain.

:SSLVerifyCallback

A callback to be used for additional verification. See OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.verify_callback

:SSLCertificateStore

A OpenSSL::X509::Store used for verification of certificates

:SSLCertName

Issuer name for the certificate. This is required when generating the certificate (if :SSLCertificate and :SSLPrivateKey were not given). The value of this is to be an Array of pairs:

[["C", "Raleigh"], ["ST","North Carolina"],
 ["CN","fqdn.example.com"]]

See also OpenSSL::X509::Name

:SSLCertComment

A comment to be used for generating the certificate. The default is “Generated by Ruby/OpenSSL”

Example¶ ↑

These values can be added after the fact, like a Hash.

require 'drb/ssl'
c = DRb::DRbSSLSocket::SSLConfig.new {}
c[:SSLCertificate] =
  OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(File.read('mycert.crt'))
c[:SSLPrivateKey] = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.read('mycert.key'))
c[:SSLVerifyMode] = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER
c[:SSLCACertificatePath] = "/etc/ssl/certs/"
c.setup_certificate

or

require 'drb/ssl'
c = DRb::DRbSSLSocket::SSLConfig.new({
        :SSLCertName => [["CN" => DRb::DRbSSLSocket.getservername]]
        })
c.setup_certificate

 
               # File drb/ssl.rb, line 127
def initialize(config)
  @config  = config
  @cert    = config[:SSLCertificate]
  @pkey    = config[:SSLPrivateKey]
  @ssl_ctx = nil
end
            

A convenience method to access the values like a Hash

 
               # File drb/ssl.rb, line 135
def [](key);
  @config[key] || DEFAULT[key]
end
            

Accept connection to IO tcp, with context of the current certificate configuration

 
               # File drb/ssl.rb, line 150
def accept(tcp)
  ssl = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(tcp, @ssl_ctx)
  ssl.sync = true
  ssl.accept
  ssl
end
            

Connect to IO tcp, with context of the current certificate configuration

 
               # File drb/ssl.rb, line 141
def connect(tcp)
  ssl = ::OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(tcp, @ssl_ctx)
  ssl.sync = true
  ssl.connect
  ssl
end
            

Ensures that :SSLCertificate and :SSLPrivateKey have been provided or that a new certificate is generated with the other parameters provided.

 
               # File drb/ssl.rb, line 160
def setup_certificate
  if @cert && @pkey
    return
  end

  rsa = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(2048){|p, n|
    next unless self[:verbose]
    case p
    when 0; $stderr.putc "."  # BN_generate_prime
    when 1; $stderr.putc "+"  # BN_generate_prime
    when 2; $stderr.putc "*"  # searching good prime,
                              # n = #of try,
                              # but also data from BN_generate_prime
    when 3; $stderr.putc "\n" # found good prime, n==0 - p, n==1 - q,
                              # but also data from BN_generate_prime
    else;   $stderr.putc "*"  # BN_generate_prime
    end
  }

  cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new
  cert.version = 3
  cert.serial = 0
  name = OpenSSL::X509::Name.new(self[:SSLCertName])
  cert.subject = name
  cert.issuer = name
  cert.not_before = Time.now
  cert.not_after = Time.now + (365*24*60*60)
  cert.public_key = rsa.public_key

  ef = OpenSSL::X509::ExtensionFactory.new(nil,cert)
  cert.extensions = [
    ef.create_extension("basicConstraints","CA:FALSE"),
    ef.create_extension("subjectKeyIdentifier", "hash") ]
  ef.issuer_certificate = cert
  cert.add_extension(ef.create_extension("authorityKeyIdentifier",
                                         "keyid:always,issuer:always"))
  if comment = self[:SSLCertComment]
    cert.add_extension(ef.create_extension("nsComment", comment))
  end
  cert.sign(rsa, OpenSSL::Digest::SHA256.new)
