class OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext

An SSLContext is used to set various options regarding certificates, algorithms, verification, session caching, etc. The SSLContext is used to create an SSLSocket.

All attributes must be set before creating an SSLSocket as the SSLContext will be frozen afterward.

Constants

DEFAULT_2048
METHODS

The list of available SSL/TLS methods. This constant is only provided for backwards compatibility.

METHODS_MAP
SESSION_CACHE_BOTH

Both client and server sessions are added to the session cache

SESSION_CACHE_CLIENT

Client sessions are added to the session cache

SESSION_CACHE_NO_AUTO_CLEAR

Normally the session cache is checked for expired sessions every 255 connections. Since this may lead to a delay that cannot be controlled, the automatic flushing may be disabled and flush_sessions can be called explicitly.

SESSION_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL

Enables both SESSION_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP and SESSION_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE.

SESSION_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP

Always perform external lookups of sessions even if they are in the internal cache.

This flag has no effect on clients

SESSION_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE

Never automatically store sessions in the internal store.

SESSION_CACHE_OFF

No session caching for client or server

SESSION_CACHE_SERVER

Server sessions are added to the session cache

Attributes

alpn_protocols[RW]

An Enumerable of Strings. Each String represents a protocol to be advertised as the list of supported protocols for Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation. Supported in OpenSSL 1.0.2 and higher. Has no effect on the server side. If not set explicitly, the ALPN extension will not be included in the handshake.

Example ↑

ctx.alpn_protocols = ["http/1.1", "spdy/2", "h2"]
alpn_select_cb[RW]

A callback invoked on the server side when the server needs to select a protocol from the list sent by the client. Supported in OpenSSL 1.0.2 and higher. The callback must return a protocol of those advertised by the client. If none is acceptable, raising an error in the callback will cause the handshake to fail. Not setting this callback explicitly means not supporting the ALPN extension on the server - any protocols advertised by the client will be ignored.

Example ↑

ctx.alpn_select_cb = lambda do |protocols|
  # inspect the protocols and select one
  protocols.first
end
ca_file[RW]

The path to a file containing a PEM-format CA certificate

ca_path[RW]

The path to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format.

Files are looked up by subject's X509 name's hash value.

cert[RW]

Context certificate

The cert, key, and extra_chain_cert attributes are deprecated. It is recommended to use add_certificate instead.

cert_store[RW]

An OpenSSL::X509::Store used for certificate verification.

client_ca[RW]

A certificate or Array of certificates that will be sent to the client.

client_cert_cb[RW]

A callback invoked when a client certificate is requested by a server and no certificate has been set.

The callback is invoked with a Session and must return an Array containing an OpenSSL::X509::Certificate and an OpenSSL::PKey. If any other value is returned the handshake is suspended.

extra_chain_cert[RW]

An Array of extra X509 certificates to be added to the certificate chain.

The cert, key, and extra_chain_cert attributes are deprecated. It is recommended to use add_certificate instead.

key[RW]

Context private key

The cert, key, and extra_chain_cert attributes are deprecated. It is recommended to use add_certificate instead.

npn_protocols[RW]

An Enumerable of Strings. Each String represents a protocol to be advertised as the list of supported protocols for Next Protocol Negotiation. Supported in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and higher. Has no effect on the client side. If not set explicitly, the NPN extension will not be sent by the server in the handshake.

Example ↑

ctx.npn_protocols = ["http/1.1", "spdy/2"]
npn_select_cb[RW]

A callback invoked on the client side when the client needs to select a protocol from the list sent by the server. Supported in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and higher. The client MUST select a protocol of those advertised by the server. If none is acceptable, raising an error in the callback will cause the handshake to fail. Not setting this callback explicitly means not supporting the NPN extension on the client - any protocols advertised by the server will be ignored.

Example ↑

ctx.npn_select_cb = lambda do |protocols|
  # inspect the protocols and select one
  protocols.first
end
renegotiation_cb[RW]

A callback invoked whenever a new handshake is initiated. May be used to disable renegotiation entirely.

The callback is invoked with the active SSLSocket. The callback's return value is irrelevant, normal return indicates “approval” of the renegotiation and will continue the process. To forbid renegotiation and to cancel the process, an Error may be raised within the callback.

Disable client renegotiation ↑

When running a server, it is often desirable to disable client renegotiation entirely. You may use a callback as follows to implement this feature:

num_handshakes = 0
ctx.renegotiation_cb = lambda do |ssl|
  num_handshakes += 1
  raise RuntimeError.new("Client renegotiation disabled") if num_handshakes > 1
end
servername_cb[RW]

A callback invoked at connect time to distinguish between multiple server names.

The callback is invoked with an SSLSocket and a server name. The callback must return an SSLContext for the server name or nil.

session_get_cb[RW]

A callback invoked on a server when a session is proposed by the client but the session could not be found in the server's internal cache.

The callback is invoked with the SSLSocket and session id. The callback may return a Session from an external cache.

session_id_context[RW]

Sets the context in which a session can be reused. This allows sessions for multiple applications to be distinguished, for example, by name.

session_new_cb[RW]

A callback invoked when a new session was negotiated.

The callback is invoked with an SSLSocket. If false is returned the session will be removed from the internal cache.

session_remove_cb[RW]

A callback invoked when a session is removed from the internal cache.

The callback is invoked with an SSLContext and a Session.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is currently not possible to use this safely in a multi-threaded application. The callback is called inside a global lock and it can randomly cause deadlock on Ruby thread switching.

ssl_timeout[RW]

Maximum session lifetime in seconds.

timeout[RW]

Maximum session lifetime in seconds.

tmp_dh_callback[RW]

A callback invoked when DH parameters are required.

The callback is invoked with the Session for the key exchange, an flag indicating the use of an export cipher and the keylength required.

The callback must return an OpenSSL::PKey::DH instance of the correct key length.

tmp_ecdh_callback[RW]

A callback invoked when ECDH parameters are required.

The callback is invoked with the Session for the key exchange, an flag indicating the use of an export cipher and the keylength required.

The callback is deprecated. This does not work with recent versions of OpenSSL. Use OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#ecdh_curves= instead.

verify_callback[RW]

A callback for additional certificate verification. The callback is invoked for each certificate in the chain.

The callback is invoked with two values. preverify_ok indicates indicates if the verification was passed (true) or not (false). store_context is an OpenSSL::X509::StoreContext containing the context used for certificate verification.

If the callback returns false, the chain verification is immediately stopped and a bad_certificate alert is then sent.

verify_depth[RW]

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

verify_hostname[RW]

Whether to check the server certificate is valid for the hostname.

In order to make this work, verify_mode must be set to VERIFY_PEER and the server hostname must be given by OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#hostname=.

verify_mode[RW]

Session verification mode.

Valid modes are VERIFY_NONE, VERIFY_PEER, VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE, VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT and defined on OpenSSL::SSL

The default mode is VERIFY_NONE, which does not perform any verification at all.

See SSL_CTX_set_verify(3) for details.

Public Class Methods

new → ctx click to toggle source
new(:TLSv1) → ctx
new("SSLv23") → ctx

Creates a new SSL context.

If an argument is given, ssl_version= is called with the value. Note that this form is deprecated. New applications should use min_version= and max_version= as necessary.

# File ext/openssl/lib/openssl/ssl.rb, line 121
def initialize(version = nil)
  self.options |= OpenSSL::SSL::OP_ALL
  self.ssl_version = version if version
end

Public Instance Methods

add_certificate(certiticate, pkey [, extra_certs]) → self click to toggle source

Adds a certificate to the context. pkey must be a corresponding private key with certificate.

Multiple certificates with different public key type can be added by repeated calls of this method, and OpenSSL will choose the most appropriate certificate during the handshake.

cert=, key=, and extra_chain_cert= are old accessor methods for setting certificate and internally call this method.

Parameters ↑

certificate

A certificate. An instance of OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.

pkey

The private key for certificate. An instance of OpenSSL::PKey::PKey.

extra_certs

Optional. An array of OpenSSL::X509::Certificate. When sending a certificate chain, the certificates specified by this are sent following certificate, in the order in the array.

Example ↑

rsa_cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(...)
rsa_pkey = OpenSSL::PKey.read(...)
ca_intermediate_cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(...)
ctx.add_certificate(rsa_cert, rsa_pkey, [ca_intermediate_cert])

ecdsa_cert = ...
ecdsa_pkey = ...
another_ca_cert = ...
ctx.add_certificate(ecdsa_cert, ecdsa_pkey, [another_ca_cert])

Note ↑

OpenSSL before the version 1.0.2 could handle only one extra chain across all key types. Calling this method discards the chain set previously.

ecdh_curves = curve_list → curve_list click to toggle source

Sets the list of “supported elliptic curves” for this context.

For a TLS client, the list is directly used in the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension. For a server, the list is used by OpenSSL to determine the set of shared curves. OpenSSL will pick the most appropriate one from it.

Note that this works differently with old OpenSSL (<= 1.0.1). Only one curve can be set, and this has no effect for TLS clients.

security_level = integer click to toggle source

Sets the security level for the context. OpenSSL limits parameters according to the level. The “parameters” include: ciphersuites, curves, key sizes, certificate signature algorithms, protocol version and so on. For example, level 1 rejects parameters offering below 80 bits of security, such as ciphersuites using MD5 for the MAC or RSA keys shorter than 1024 bits.

Note that attempts to set such parameters with insufficient security are also blocked. You need to lower the level first.

This feature is not supported in OpenSSL < 1.1.0, and setting the level to other than 0 will raise NotImplementedError. Level 0 means everything is permitted, the same behavior as previous versions of OpenSSL.

set_params(params = {}) → params click to toggle source

Sets saner defaults optimized for the use with HTTP-like protocols.

If a Hash params is given, the parameters are overridden with it. The keys in params must be assignment methods on SSLContext.

If the verify_mode is not VERIFY_NONE and ca_file, ca_path and cert_store are not set then the system default certificate store is used.

Sets the SSL/TLS protocol version for the context. This forces connections to use only the specified protocol version. This is deprecated and only provided for backwards compatibility. Use min_version= and max_version= instead.

History ↑

As the name hints, this used to call the SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() function which sets the SSL method used for connections created from the context. As of Ruby/OpenSSL 2.1, this accessor method is implemented to call min_version= and max_version= instead.

# File ext/openssl/lib/openssl/ssl.rb, line 201
def ssl_version=(meth)
  meth = meth.to_s if meth.is_a?(Symbol)
  if /(?<type>_client|_server)\z/ =~ meth
    meth = $`
    if $VERBOSE
      warn "#{caller(1, 1)[0]}: method type #{type.inspect} is ignored"
    end
  end
  version = METHODS_MAP[meth.intern] or
    raise ArgumentError, "unknown SSL method `%s'" % meth
  set_minmax_proto_version(version, version)
  @min_proto_version = @max_proto_version = version
