NAME POE::Filter::SSL - The easiest and flexiblest way to SSL in POE! VERSION Version 0.41 DESCRIPTION This module allows one to secure connections of *POE::Wheel::ReadWrite* with OpenSSL by a *POE::Filter* object, and behaves (beside of SSLing) as *POE::Filter::Stream*. *POE::Filter::SSL* can be added, switched and removed during runtime, for example if you want to initiate SSL (see the *SSL on an established connection* example in *SYNOPSIS*) on an already established connection. You are able to combine *POE::Filter::SSL* with other filters, for example have a HTTPS server together with *POE::Filter::HTTPD* (see the *HTTPS-Server* example in *SYNOPSIS*). *POE::Filter::SSL* is based on *Net::SSLeay*, but got two XS functions which *Net::SSLeay* is missing. Features Full non-blocking processing No use of sockets at all Server and client mode Optional client certificate verification Allows one to accept connections with invalid or missing client certificate and return custom error data CRL check of client certificates Retrieve client certificate details (subject name, issuer name, certificate serial) Upcoming Features Direct cipher encryption without SSL or TLS protocol, for example with static AES encryption SYNOPSIS By default *POE::Filter::SSL* acts as a SSL server. To use it in client mode you just have to set the *client* option of *new()*. TCP-Client #!perl use warnings; use strict; use POE qw(Component::Client::TCP Filter::SSL); POE::Component::Client::TCP->new( RemoteAddress => "yahoo.com", RemotePort => 443, Filter => [ "POE::Filter::SSL", client => 1 ], Connected => sub { $_[HEAP]{server}->put("HEAD /\r\n\r\n"); }, ServerInput => sub { print "from server: ".$_[ARG0]."\n"; }, ); POE::Kernel->run(); exit; TCP-Server #!perl use warnings; use strict; use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP); POE::Component::Server::TCP->new( Port => 443, ClientFilter => [ "POE::Filter::SSL", crt => 'server.crt', key => 'server.key' ], ClientConnected => sub { print "got a connection from $_[HEAP]{remote_ip}\n"; $_[HEAP]{client}->put("Smile from the server!\r\n"); }, Alias => "tcp", ClientInput => sub { my ($kernel, $session, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, SESSION, HEAP]; $_[HEAP]{client}->put("You sent:\r\n".$_[ARG0]); $_[KERNEL]->yield("shutdown"); }, ); POE::Kernel->run; exit; HTTPS-Server use POE::Filter::SSL::PreFilter use POE::Filter::SSL; use POE::Component::Server::HTTP; use HTTP::Status; my $aliases = POE::Component::Server::HTTP->new( Port => 443, ContentHandler => { '/' => \&handler, '/dir/' => sub { return; }, '/file' => sub { return; } }, Headers => { Server => 'My Server' }, PreFilter => POE::Filter::SSL->new( crt => 'server.crt', key => 'server.key', cacrt => 'ca.crt' ) ); sub handler { my ($request, $response) = @_; $response->code(RC_OK); $response->content("Hi, you fetched ". $request->uri); return RC_OK; } POE::Kernel->run(); POE::Kernel->call($aliases->{httpd}, "shutdown"); # next line isn't really needed POE::Kernel->call($aliases->{tcp}, "shutdown"); SSL on an established connection Advanced Example This example is an IMAP-Relay which forwards the connections to a IMAP server by username. It allows one the unencrypted transfer on port 143, with the option of SSL on the established connection (STARTTLS). On port 993 it allows one to do direct SSL. Tested with Thunderbird version 3.0.5. #!perl use warnings; use strict; use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP Component::Client::TCP Filter::SSL Filter::Stream); my $defaultImapServer = "not.existing.de"; my $usernameToImapServer = { user1 => 'mailserver1.domain.de', user2 => 'mailserver2.domain.de', # ... }; POE::Component::Server::TCP->new( Port => 143, ClientFilter => "POE::Filter::Stream", ClientDisconnected => \&disconnect, ClientConnected => \&connected, ClientInput => \&handleInput, InlineStates => { send_stuff => \&send_stuff, _child => \&child } ); POE::Component::Server::TCP->new( Port => 993, ClientFilter => [ "POE::Filter::SSL", crt => 'server.crt', key => 'server.key' ], ClientConnected => \&connected, ClientDisconnected => \&disconnect, ClientInput => \&handleInput, InlineStates => { send_stuff => \&send_stuff, _child => \&child } ); sub disconnect { my ($kernel, $session, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, SESSION, HEAP]; logevent('server got disconnect', $session); $kernel->post($heap->{client_id} => "shutdown"); } sub connected { my ($kernel, $session, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, SESSION, HEAP]; logevent("got a connection from ".$heap->{remote_ip}, $session); $heap->{client}->put("* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] IMAP Relay v0.1 ready.\r\n"); } sub send_stuff { my ($heap, $stuff, $session) = @_[HEAP, ARG0, SESSION]; logevent("-> ".length($stuff)."

It accepts the following options: client By default *POE::Filter::SSL* acts as a SSL server. To use it in client mode, you have to set this option. crt{mem} The certificate file (.crt) for the server, a client certificate in client mode. You are able to pass the already inmemory crt file as scalar via *crtmem*. key{mem} The key file (.key) of the certificate (see *crt* above). You are able to pass the already inmemory key file as scalar via *keymem*. cacrt{mem} The ca certificate file (ca.crt), which is used to verificate the client certificates against a CA. You can store multiple ca in one file, all of them gets imported. You are able to pass the already inmemory cacrt file as scalar via *cacrtmem* or as an array ref of scalars, if you have multiple ca. caverifydepth By default the ca verify depth is 5, you can override this via this option. chain Chain certificate, you need it for example for startssl.org which needs a intermedia certificates. Here you can configure it. You can generate this the following way: cat client.crt intermediate.crt ca.crt > chain.pem In this case, you normalyly have no *key* and *crt* option. Currently it is not possible to pass this inmemory, only by file. cacrl Configures a CRL (ca.crl) against the client certificate is verified by *clientCertValid()*. dhcert{mem} If you want to enable perfect forward secrecy, here you can enable Diffie-Hellman. You just have to create a dhparam file and there here the path to the path/to/FILENAME.pem where your Diffie-Hellman (pem format) stays. openssl dhparam -check -text -5 2048 -out path/to/FILENAME.pem You are able to pass the already inmemory dhparam file as scalar(string) via *dhcertmem*. clientcert Only in server mode: Request during ssl handshake from the client a client certificat. WARNING: If the client provides an untrusted or no client certificate, the connection is not failing. You have to ask *clientCertValid()* if the certificate is valid! sni Allows one to set the SNI hostname indication in first packet of handshake. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication tls Force in the handshake the use of tls, disables support for the obsolete SSL handshake. tls1_2 Force in the handshake the use of tls in version 1.2, disables support for the obsolete SSL handshake. nohonor By default, as server, *POE::Filter:SSL* sets the option *SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE*. For more information you may google the pendant of apache *SSLHonorCipherOrder*. To flip back to the old behaviour, not setting this option, you can set nohonor. cipher Specify which ciphers are allowed for the synchronous encrypted transfer of the data over the ssl connection. Example: cipher => 'DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES256-SHA' blockbadclientcert Let OpenSSL deny the connection if there is no client certificate. WARNING: If the client is listed in the CRL file or an invalid client certifiate has been sent, the connection will be established! You have to ask *clientCertValid()* if you have the *crl* option set on *new()*, otherwise to ask *clientCertNotOnCRL()* if the certificate is listed on your CRL file! ignoreVerifyErrors WARNING: Before using this option, you should be realy sure that you know what you are doing! Specify to ignore specific errors on verifying the certificate chain: This is for example useful to be able to fetch the time from via secure and trusted TLS connection. In this case, your time is wrong, so must ignore time errors, which are 9: X509_V_ERR_CERT_NOT_YET_VALID (certificate is not yet valid) and 10: X509_V_ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED (certificate has expired). The list of errors you can ignore can be found on the documentation: Example: ignoreVerifyErrors => [ 9, 10, ] handshakeDone(options) Returns *true* if the handshake is done and all data for handshake has been written out. It accepts the following options: ignorebuf Returns *true* if OpenSSL has established the connection, regardless if all data has been written out. This is needed if you want to exchange the Filter of *POE::Wheel::ReadWrite* before the first data comes in. This option have been only used by *doHandshake()* to be able to add new filters before first cleartext data to be processed gets in. clientCertNotOnCRL($file) Verifies if the serial of the client certificate is not contained in the CRL $file. No file caching is done, each call opens the file again. WARNING: If your CRL file is missing, can not be opened is empty or has no blocked certificate at all in it, then every call will get blocked! clientCertIds() Returns an array of every certificate found by OpenSSL. Each element is again a array. The first element is the value of *X509_get_subject_name*, second is the value of *X509_get_issuer_name* and third element is the serial of the certificate in binary form. You have to use *split()* and *ord()*, or the *hexdump()* function, to convert it to a readable form. Example: my ($certid) = ($heap->{sslfilter}->clientCertIds()); $certid = $certid ? $certid->[0]."
".$certid->[1]."
SERIAL=".$heap->{sslfilter}->hexdump($certid->[2]) : 'No client certificate'; getCipher() Returns the used cryptographic algorithm and length. Example: $sslfilter->getCipher() clientCertValid() Returns *true* if there is a client certificate that is valid. It also tests against the CRL, if you have the *cacrl* option set on *new()*. doHandshake($readWrite, $filter, $filter, ...) !!!REMOVED!!! WARNING: POE::Filter:SSL now is able to do the ssh handshake now without any helpers. Because of this, this function has been removed! Allows one to add filters after the ssl handshake. It has to be called in the input handler, and needs the passing of the *POE::Wheel::ReadWhile* object. If it returns false, you have to return from the input handler. See the *HTTPS-Server*, *SSL on an established connection* and *Client certificate verification* examples in *SYNOPSIS* clientCertExists() Returns *true* if there is a client certificate, that might be untrusted. WARNING: If the client provides an untrusted client certificate a client certificate that is listed in CRL, this function returns *true*. You have to ask *clientCertValid()* if the certificate is valid! errorhandler By default, every ssl error is escalated via carp. You may change this behaviour via this option to: "ignore" Do not report any error. *CODE* Setting errorhandler to a reference of a function allows one to be called it callback function with the following options: ARG1: POE:SSL::Filter instance ARG2: Ref on a Hash with the following keys: ret The return code of Net::SSLeay::connect (client) or Net::SSLeay::accept (server) ssl The SSL context (SSL_CTX) msg The error message as text, as normally reported via carp get_error The error code of get_error the ssl context error The error code of get_error without context "carp" (or undef) Do Carp/carp on error. "confess" Do Carp/confess (stacktrace) on error. "carponetime" Report carp for one occurrence only one time - over all! debug Shows debug messages of *clientCertNotOnCRL()*. hexdump($string) Returns string data in hex format.
