SSL_CONF_cmd(3)                     OpenSSL                    SSL_CONF_cmd(3)

NAME
       SSL_CONF_cmd - send configuration command
SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/ssl.h>
        int SSL_CONF_cmd(SSL_CONF_CTX *cctx, const char *cmd, const char *value);
        int SSL_CONF_cmd_value_type(SSL_CONF_CTX *cctx, const char *cmd);
        int SSL_CONF_finish(SSL_CONF_CTX *cctx);
DESCRIPTION
       The function SSL_CONF_cmd() performs configuration operation cmd with
       optional parameter value on ctx. Its purpose is to simplify application
       configuration of SSL_CTX or SSL structures by providing a common
       framework for command line options or configuration files.
       SSL_CONF_cmd_value_type() returns the type of value that cmd refers to.
       The function SSL_CONF_finish() must be called after all configuration
       operations have been completed. It is used to finalise any operations
       or to process defaults.
SUPPORTED COMMAND LINE COMMANDS
       Currently supported cmd names for command lines (i.e. when the flag
       SSL_CONF_CMDLINE is set) are listed below. Note: all cmd names are case
       sensitive. Unless otherwise stated commands can be used by both clients
       and servers and the value parameter is not used. The default prefix for
       command line commands is - and that is reflected below.
       -sigalgs
           This sets the supported signature algorithms for TLS v1.2. For
           clients this value is used directly for the supported signature
           algorithms extension. For servers it is used to determine which
           signature algorithms to support.
           The value argument should be a colon separated list of signature
           algorithms in order of decreasing preference of the form
           algorithm+hash. algorithm is one of RSA, DSA or ECDSA and hash is a
           supported algorithm OID short name such as SHA1, SHA224, SHA256,
           SHA384 of SHA512.  Note: algorithm and hash names are case
           sensitive.
           If this option is not set then all signature algorithms supported
           by the OpenSSL library are permissible.
       -client_sigalgs
           This sets the supported signature algorithms associated with client
           authentication for TLS v1.2. For servers the value is used in the
           supported signature algorithms field of a certificate request. For
           clients it is used to determine which signature algorithm to with
           the client certificate.  If a server does not request a certificate
           this option has no effect.
           The syntax of value is identical to -sigalgs. If not set then the
           value set for -sigalgs will be used instead.
       -curves
           This sets the supported elliptic curves. For clients the curves are
           sent using the supported curves extension. For servers it is used
           to determine which curve to use. This setting affects curves used
           for both signatures and key exchange, if applicable.
           The value argument is a colon separated list of curves. The curve
           can be either the NIST name (e.g. P-256) or an OpenSSL OID name
           (e.g prime256v1). Curve names are case sensitive.
       -named_curve
           This sets the temporary curve used for ephemeral ECDH modes. Only
           used by servers
           The value argument is a curve name or the special value auto which
           picks an appropriate curve based on client and server preferences.
           The curve can be either the NIST name (e.g. P-256) or an OpenSSL
           OID name (e.g prime256v1). Curve names are case sensitive.
       -cipher
           Sets the cipher suite list to value. Note: syntax checking of value
           is currently not performed unless a SSL or SSL_CTX structure is
           associated with cctx.
       -cert
           Attempts to use the file value as the certificate for the
           appropriate context. It currently uses
           SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() if an SSL_CTX structure is set
           or SSL_use_certificate_file() with filetype PEM if an SSL structure
           is set. This option is only supported if certificate operations are
           permitted.
       -key
           Attempts to use the file value as the private key for the
           appropriate context. This option is only supported if certificate
           operations are permitted. Note: if no -key option is set then a
           private key is not loaded: it does not currently use the -cert
           file.
       -dhparam
           Attempts to use the file value as the set of temporary DH
           parameters for the appropriate context. This option is only
           supported if certificate operations are permitted.
       -no_ssl2, -no_ssl3, -no_tls1, -no_tls1_1, -no_tls1_2
           Disables protocol support for SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1 or
           TLSv1.2 by setting the corresponding options SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2,
           SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 and
           SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2 respectively.
       -bugs
           Various bug workarounds are set, same as setting SSL_OP_ALL.
       -no_comp
           Disables support for SSL/TLS compression, same as setting
           SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESS.
       -no_ticket
           Disables support for session tickets, same as setting
           SSL_OP_NO_TICKET.
       -serverpref
           Use server and not client preference order when determining which
           cipher suite, signature algorithm or elliptic curve to use for an
           incoming connection.  Equivalent to
           SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE. Only used by servers.
       -no_resumption_on_reneg
           set SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION flag. Only used
           by servers.
       -legacyrenegotiation
           permits the use of unsafe legacy renegotiation. Equivalent to
           setting SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION.
       -legacy_server_connect, -no_legacy_server_connect
           permits or prohibits the use of unsafe legacy renegotiation for
           OpenSSL clients only. Equivalent to setting or clearing
           SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT.  Set by default.
       -strict
           enables strict mode protocol handling. Equivalent to setting
           SSL_CERT_FLAG_TLS_STRICT.
       -debug_broken_protocol
           disables various checks and permits several kinds of broken
           protocol behaviour for testing purposes: it should NEVER be used in
           anything other than a test environment. Only supported if OpenSSL
           is configured with -DOPENSSL_SSL_DEBUG_BROKEN_PROTOCOL.
SUPPORTED CONFIGURATION FILE COMMANDS
       Currently supported cmd names for configuration files (i.e. when the
       flag SSL_CONF_FLAG_FILE is set) are listed below. All configuration
       file cmd names and are case insensitive so signaturealgorithms is
       recognised as well as SignatureAlgorithms. Unless otherwise stated the
       value names are also case insensitive.
       Note: the command prefix (if set) alters the recognised cmd values.
       CipherString
           Sets the cipher suite list to value. Note: syntax checking of value
           is currently not performed unless an SSL or SSL_CTX structure is
           associated with cctx.
       Certificate
           Attempts to use the file value as the certificate for the
           appropriate context. It currently uses
           SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() if an SSL_CTX structure is set
           or SSL_use_certificate_file() with filetype PEM if an SSL structure
           is set. This option is only supported if certificate operations are
           permitted.
       PrivateKey
           Attempts to use the file value as the private key for the
           appropriate context. This option is only supported if certificate
           operations are permitted. Note: if no -key option is set then a
           private key is not loaded: it does not currently use the
           Certificate file.
       ServerInfoFile
           Attempts to use the file value in the "serverinfo" extension using
           the function SSL_CTX_use_serverinfo_file.
       DHParameters
           Attempts to use the file value as the set of temporary DH
           parameters for the appropriate context. This option is only
           supported if certificate operations are permitted.
       SignatureAlgorithms
           This sets the supported signature algorithms for TLS v1.2. For
           clients this value is used directly for the supported signature
           algorithms extension. For servers it is used to determine which
           signature algorithms to support.
           The value argument should be a colon separated list of signature
           algorithms in order of decreasing preference of the form
           algorithm+hash. algorithm is one of RSA, DSA or ECDSA and hash is a
           supported algorithm OID short name such as SHA1, SHA224, SHA256,
           SHA384 of SHA512.  Note: algorithm and hash names are case
           sensitive.
           If this option is not set then all signature algorithms supported
           by the OpenSSL library are permissible.
       ClientSignatureAlgorithms
           This sets the supported signature algorithms associated with client
           authentication for TLS v1.2. For servers the value is used in the
           supported signature algorithms field of a certificate request. For
           clients it is used to determine which signature algorithm to with
           the client certificate.
           The syntax of value is identical to SignatureAlgorithms. If not set
           then the value set for SignatureAlgorithms will be used instead.
       Curves
           This sets the supported elliptic curves. For clients the curves are
           sent using the supported curves extension. For servers it is used
           to determine which curve to use. This setting affects curves used
           for both signatures and key exchange, if applicable.
           The value argument is a colon separated list of curves. The curve
           can be either the NIST name (e.g. P-256) or an OpenSSL OID name
           (e.g prime256v1). Curve names are case sensitive.
       ECDHParameters
           This sets the temporary curve used for ephemeral ECDH modes. Only
           used by servers
           The value argument is a curve name or the special value Automatic
           which picks an appropriate curve based on client and server
           preferences. The curve can be either the NIST name (e.g. P-256) or
           an OpenSSL OID name (e.g prime256v1). Curve names are case
           sensitive.
       Protocol
           The supported versions of the SSL or TLS protocol.
           The value argument is a comma separated list of supported protocols
           to enable or disable. If an protocol is preceded by - that version
           is disabled.  Currently supported protocol values are SSLv2, SSLv3,
           TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2.  All protocol versions other than SSLv2
           are enabled by default.  To avoid inadvertent enabling of SSLv2,
           when SSLv2 is disabled, it is not possible to enable it via the
           Protocol command.
       Options
           The value argument is a comma separated list of various flags to
           set.  If a flag string is preceded - it is disabled. See the
           SSL_CTX_set_options function for more details of individual
           options.
           Each option is listed below. Where an operation is enabled by
           default the -flag syntax is needed to disable it.
           SessionTicket: session ticket support, enabled by default. Inverse
           of SSL_OP_NO_TICKET: that is -SessionTicket is the same as setting
           SSL_OP_NO_TICKET.
           Compression: SSL/TLS compression support, enabled by default.
           Inverse of SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION.
           EmptyFragments: use empty fragments as a countermeasure against a
           SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol vulnerability affecting CBC ciphers. It is
           set by default. Inverse of SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS.
           Bugs: enable various bug workarounds. Same as SSL_OP_ALL.
           DHSingle: enable single use DH keys, set by default. Inverse of
           SSL_OP_DH_SINGLE. Only used by servers.
           ECDHSingle enable single use ECDH keys, set by default. Inverse of
           SSL_OP_ECDH_SINGLE. Only used by servers.
           ServerPreference use server and not client preference order when
           determining which cipher suite, signature algorithm or elliptic
           curve to use for an incoming connection.  Equivalent to
           SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE. Only used by servers.
           NoResumptionOnRenegotiation set
           SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION flag. Only used by
           servers.
           UnsafeLegacyRenegotiation permits the use of unsafe legacy
           renegotiation.  Equivalent to
           SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION.
           UnsafeLegacyServerConnect permits the use of unsafe legacy
           renegotiation for OpenSSL clients only. Equivalent to
           SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT.  Set by default.
SUPPORTED COMMAND TYPES
       The function SSL_CONF_cmd_value_type() currently returns one of the
       following types:
       SSL_CONF_TYPE_UNKNOWN
           The cmd string is unrecognised, this return value can be use to
           flag syntax errors.
       SSL_CONF_TYPE_STRING
           The value is a string without any specific structure.
       SSL_CONF_TYPE_FILE
           The value is a file name.
       SSL_CONF_TYPE_DIR
           The value is a directory name.
NOTES
       The order of operations is significant. This can be used to set either
       defaults or values which cannot be overridden. For example if an
       application calls:
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "-SSLv3");
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, userparam, uservalue);
       it will disable SSLv3 support by default but the user can override it.
       If however the call sequence is:
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, userparam, uservalue);
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "-SSLv3");
       then SSLv3 is always disabled and attempt to override this by the user
       are ignored.
       By checking the return code of SSL_CTX_cmd() it is possible to query if
       a given cmd is recognised, this is useful is SSL_CTX_cmd() values are
       mixed with additional application specific operations.
       For example an application might call SSL_CTX_cmd() and if it returns
       -2 (unrecognised command) continue with processing of application
       specific commands.
       Applications can also use SSL_CTX_cmd() to process command lines though
       the utility function SSL_CTX_cmd_argv() is normally used instead. One
       way to do this is to set the prefix to an appropriate value using
       SSL_CONF_CTX_set1_prefix(), pass the current argument to cmd and the
       following argument to value (which may be NULL).
       In this case if the return value is positive then it is used to skip
       that number of arguments as they have been processed by SSL_CTX_cmd().
       If -2 is returned then cmd is not recognised and application specific
       arguments can be checked instead. If -3 is returned a required argument
       is missing and an error is indicated. If 0 is returned some other error
       occurred and this can be reported back to the user.
       The function SSL_CONF_cmd_value_type() can be used by applications to
       check for the existence of a command or to perform additional syntax
       checking or translation of the command value. For example if the return
       value is SSL_CONF_TYPE_FILE an application could translate a relative
       pathname to an absolute pathname.
EXAMPLES
       Set supported signature algorithms:
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "SignatureAlgorithms", "ECDSA+SHA256:RSA+SHA256:DSA+SHA256");
       Enable all protocols except SSLv3 and SSLv2:
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "ALL,-SSLv3,-SSLv2");
       Only enable TLSv1.2:
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "-ALL,TLSv1.2");
       Disable TLS session tickets:
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Options", "-SessionTicket");
       Set supported curves to P-256, P-384:
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Curves", "P-256:P-384");
       Set automatic support for any elliptic curve for key exchange:
        SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "ECDHParameters", "Automatic");
RETURN VALUES
       SSL_CONF_cmd() returns 1 if the value of cmd is recognised and value is
       NOT used and 2 if both cmd and value are used. In other words it
       returns the number of arguments processed. This is useful when
       processing command lines.
       A return value of -2 means cmd is not recognised.
       A return value of -3 means cmd is recognised and the command requires a
       value but value is NULL.
       A return code of 0 indicates that both cmd and value are valid but an
       error occurred attempting to perform the operation: for example due to
       an error in the syntax of value in this case the error queue may
       provide additional information.
       SSL_CONF_finish() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
