Detailed Description

TLS connection type.

TlsConnection is the base TLS connection class type, which wraps an IOStream and provides TLS encryption on top of it. Its subclasses that implement TlsClientConnection and TlsServerConnection, implement client-side and server-side TLS, respectively.

◆ handshake() [1/2]

bool Gio::TlsConnection::handshake ( )

A handshake() convenience overload.

◆ handshake() [2/2]

bool Gio::TlsConnection::handshake ( const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > & cancellable )

Attempts a TLS handshake on conn.

On the client side, it is never necessary to call this method; although the connection needs to perform a handshake after connecting (or after sending a "STARTTLS"-type command), TlsConnection will handle this for you automatically when you try to send or receive data on the connection. You can call g_tls_connection_handshake() manually if you want to know whether the initial handshake succeeded or failed (as opposed to just immediately trying to use conn to read or write, in which case, if it fails, it may not be possible to tell if it failed before or after completing the handshake), but beware that servers may reject client authentication after the handshake has completed, so a successful handshake does not indicate the connection will be usable.

Likewise, on the server side, although a handshake is necessary at the beginning of the communication, you do not need to call this function explicitly unless you want clearer error reporting.

Previously, calling g_tls_connection_handshake() after the initial handshake would trigger a rehandshake; however, this usage was deprecated in GLib 2.60 because rehandshaking was removed from the TLS protocol in TLS 1.3. Since GLib 2.64, calling this function after the initial handshake will no longer do anything.

When using a TlsConnection created by SocketClient, the SocketClient performs the initial handshake, so calling this function manually is not recommended.

TlsConnection::accept_certificate may be emitted during the handshake.

◆ operator=()

TlsConnection & Gio::TlsConnection::operator= ( TlsConnection && src )

noexcept

◆ property_base_io_stream()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< IOStream > > Gio::TlsConnection::property_base_io_stream ( ) const

The IOStream that the connection wraps.

The connection holds a reference to this stream, and may run operations on the stream from other threads throughout its lifetime. Consequently, after the IOStream has been constructed, application code may only run its own operations on this stream when no IOStream operations are running.

Since glibmm 2.28:

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_certificate() [1/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > > Gio::TlsConnection::property_certificate ( )

The connection's certificate; see g_tls_connection_set_certificate().

Since glibmm 2.28:

Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_certificate() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > > Gio::TlsConnection::property_certificate ( ) const

The connection's certificate; see g_tls_connection_set_certificate().

Since glibmm 2.28:

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_ciphersuite_name()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gio::TlsConnection::property_ciphersuite_name ( ) const

The name of the TLS ciphersuite in use.

See g_tls_connection_get_ciphersuite_name().

Since glibmm 2.70:

Default value: ""

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_database() [1/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::RefPtr< TlsDatabase > > Gio::TlsConnection::property_database ( )

The certificate database to use when verifying this TLS connection.

If no certificate database is set, then the default database will be used. See g_tls_backend_get_default_database().

When using a non-default database, TlsConnection must fall back to using the TlsDatabase to perform certificate verification using g_tls_database_verify_chain(), which means certificate verification will not be able to make use of TLS session context. This may be less secure. For example, if you create your own TlsDatabase that just wraps the default TlsDatabase, you might expect that you have not changed anything, but this is not true because you may have altered the behavior of TlsConnection by causing it to use g_tls_database_verify_chain(). See the documentation of g_tls_database_verify_chain() for more details on specific security checks that may not be performed. Accordingly, setting a non-default database is discouraged except for specialty applications with unusual security requirements.

Since glibmm 2.30:

Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_database() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< TlsDatabase > > Gio::TlsConnection::property_database ( ) const

The certificate database to use when verifying this TLS connection.

If no certificate database is set, then the default database will be used. See g_tls_backend_get_default_database().

Since glibmm 2.30:

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_interaction() [1/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::RefPtr< TlsInteraction > > Gio::TlsConnection::property_interaction ( )

A TlsInteraction object to be used when the connection or certificate database need to interact with the user.

This will be used to prompt the user for passwords where necessary.

Since glibmm 2.30:

Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_interaction() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< TlsInteraction > > Gio::TlsConnection::property_interaction ( ) const

A TlsInteraction object to be used when the connection or certificate database need to interact with the user.

This will be used to prompt the user for passwords where necessary.

Since glibmm 2.30:

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_peer_certificate()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > > Gio::TlsConnection::property_peer_certificate ( ) const

The connection's peer's certificate, after the TLS handshake has completed or failed.

Note in particular that this is not yet set during the emission of TlsConnection::signal_accept_certificate().

(You can watch for a Object::signal_notify() signal on this property to detect when a handshake has occurred.)

Since glibmm 2.28:

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_peer_certificate_errors()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< TlsCertificateFlags > Gio::TlsConnection::property_peer_certificate_errors ( ) const

The errors noticed while verifying TlsConnection::property_peer_certificate().

Normally this should be 0, but it may not be if TlsClientConnection::property_validation_flags() is not Gio::TlsCertificateFlags::VALIDATE_ALL, or if TlsConnection::signal_accept_certificate() overrode the default behavior.

GLib guarantees that if certificate verification fails, at least one error will be set, but it does not guarantee that all possible errors will be set. Accordingly, you may not safely decide to ignore any particular type of error. For example, it would be incorrect to mask Gio::TlsCertificateFlags::EXPIRED if you want to allow expired certificates, because this could potentially be the only error flag set even if other problems exist with the certificate.

Since glibmm 2.28:

Default value: Gio::TlsCertificateFlags::NO_FLAGS

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_protocol_version()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< TlsProtocolVersion > Gio::TlsConnection::property_protocol_version ( ) const

The TLS protocol version in use.

See g_tls_connection_get_protocol_version().

Since glibmm 2.70:

Default value: Gio::TlsProtocolVersion::UNKNOWN

◆ property_require_close_notify() [1/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy< bool > Gio::TlsConnection::property_require_close_notify ( )

Whether or not proper TLS close notification is required.

See g_tls_connection_set_require_close_notify().

Since glibmm 2.28:

Default value: true

Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_require_close_notify() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gio::TlsConnection::property_require_close_notify ( ) const

Whether or not proper TLS close notification is required.

See g_tls_connection_set_require_close_notify().

Since glibmm 2.28:

Default value: true

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ set_certificate()

void Gio::TlsConnection::set_certificate ( const Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > & certificate )

This sets the certificate that conn will present to its peer during the TLS handshake.

For a TlsServerConnection, it is mandatory to set this, and that will normally be done at construct time.

For a TlsClientConnection, this is optional. If a handshake fails with Gio::TlsError::CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED, that means that the server requires a certificate, and if you try connecting again, you should call this method first. You can call g_tls_client_connection_get_accepted_cas() on the failed connection to get a list of Certificate Authorities that the server will accept certificates from.

(It is also possible that a server will allow the connection with or without a certificate; in that case, if you don't provide a certificate, you can tell that the server requested one by the fact that g_tls_client_connection_get_accepted_cas() will return non-nullptr.)

Since glibmm 2.28:

Parameters

certificate The certificate to use for conn.

◆ set_database()

void Gio::TlsConnection::set_database ( const Glib::RefPtr< TlsDatabase > & database )

Sets the certificate database that is used to verify peer certificates.

This is set to the default database by default. See g_tls_backend_get_default_database(). If set to nullptr, then peer certificate validation will always set the Gio::TlsCertificateFlags::UNKNOWN_CA error (meaning TlsConnection::signal_accept_certificate() will always be emitted on client-side connections, unless that bit is not set in TlsClientConnection::property_validation_flags()).

There are nonintuitive security implications when using a non-default database. See TlsConnection::property_database() for details.

Since glibmm 2.30:

Parameters

database A TlsDatabase.

◆ set_interaction()

void Gio::TlsConnection::set_interaction ( const Glib::RefPtr< TlsInteraction > & interaction )

Set the object that will be used to interact with the user.

It will be used for things like prompting the user for passwords.

The interaction argument will normally be a derived subclass of TlsInteraction. nullptr can also be provided if no user interaction should occur for this connection.

Since glibmm 2.30:

Parameters

interaction An interaction object, or nullptr.

◆ set_require_close_notify()

void Gio::TlsConnection::set_require_close_notify ( bool require_close_notify = true )

Sets whether or not conn expects a proper TLS close notification before the connection is closed.

If this is true (the default), then conn will expect to receive a TLS close notification from its peer before the connection is closed, and will return a Gio::TlsError::EOF error if the connection is closed without proper notification (since this may indicate a network error, or man-in-the-middle attack).

In some protocols, the application will know whether or not the connection was closed cleanly based on application-level data (because the application-level data includes a length field, or is somehow self-delimiting); in this case, the close notify is redundant and sometimes omitted. (TLS 1.1 explicitly allows this; in TLS 1.0 it is technically an error, but often done anyway.) You can use g_tls_connection_set_require_close_notify() to tell conn to allow an "unannounced" connection close, in which case the close will show up as a 0-length read, as in a non-TLS SocketConnection, and it is up to the application to check that the data has been fully received.

Note that this only affects the behavior when the peer closes the connection; when the application calls g_io_stream_close() itself on conn, this will send a close notification regardless of the setting of this property. If you explicitly want to do an unclean close, you can close conn's TlsConnection::property_base_io_stream() rather than closing conn itself, but note that this may only be done when no other operations are pending on conn or the base I/O stream.

Since glibmm 2.28:

Parameters

require_close_notify Whether or not to require close notification.

◆ signal_accept_certificate()

Glib::SignalProxy< bool(const Glib::RefPtr< const TlsCertificate > &, TlsCertificateFlags)> Gio::TlsConnection::signal_accept_certificate ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_accept_certificate(const Glib::RefPtr<const TlsCertificate>& peer_cert, TlsCertificateFlags errors)

Flags: Run Last

Emitted during the TLS handshake after the peer certificate has been received. You can examine peer_cert's certification path by calling g_tls_certificate_get_issuer() on it.

For a client-side connection, peer_cert is the server's certificate, and the signal will only be emitted if the certificate was not acceptable according to conn's TlsClientConnection::property_validation_flags(). If you would like the certificate to be accepted despite errors, return true from the signal handler. Otherwise, if no handler accepts the certificate, the handshake will fail with Gio::TlsError::BAD_CERTIFICATE.

GLib guarantees that if certificate verification fails, this signal will be emitted with at least one error will be set in errors, but it does not guarantee that all possible errors will be set. Accordingly, you may not safely decide to ignore any particular type of error. For example, it would be incorrect to ignore Gio::TlsCertificateFlags::EXPIRED if you want to allow expired certificates, because this could potentially be the only error flag set even if other problems exist with the certificate.

For a server-side connection, peer_cert is the certificate presented by the client, if this was requested via the server's TlsServerConnection::property_authentication_mode(). On the server side, the signal is always emitted when the client presents a certificate, and the certificate will only be accepted if a handler returns true.

Note that if this signal is emitted as part of asynchronous I/O in the main thread, then you should not attempt to interact with the user before returning from the signal handler. If you want to let the user decide whether or not to accept the certificate, you would have to return false from the signal handler on the first attempt, and then after the connection attempt returns a Gio::TlsError::BAD_CERTIFICATE, you can interact with the user, and if the user decides to accept the certificate, remember that fact, create a new connection, and return true from the signal handler the next time.

If you are doing I/O in another thread, you do not need to worry about this, and can simply block in the signal handler until the UI thread returns an answer.

Since glibmm 2.28:

Parameters

peer_cert	The peer's TlsCertificate.
errors	The problems with peer_cert.

Returns: true to accept peer_cert (which will also immediately end the signal emission). false to allow the signal emission to continue, which will cause the handshake to fail if no one else overrides it.
