<h3><a name="CALLBACK OPTIONS">CALLBACK OPTIONS</a></h3>
<p>
As indicated above, individual channels can be given their own callbacks
to handle intermediate processing by the OpenSSL library, using the
<em>-command</em> and <em>-password</em> options passed to either of
<strong>tls::socket</strong> or <strong>tls::import</strong>.
</p>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>-command</strong> <em>callback</em></dt>
<dd>
Invokes the specified <em>callback</em> script at
several points during the OpenSSL handshake.
Except as indicated below, values returned from the
callback are ignored.
Arguments appended to the script upon callback take one of the
following forms:
<dt>
<strong>alpn</strong> <em>protocol</em>
</dt>
<dd>
For servers, this form of callback is invoked when the client ALPN
header is received and the first <b>-alpn</b> specified protocol common
to the both the client and server is selected. If none, the first
client specified protocol is used.
</dd>
<br>
<!-- This form of callback is disabled.
by the OpenSSL function
<code>ERR_reason_error_string()</code>.
</dd>
<br>
-->
<dt>
<strong>hello</strong> <em>servername</em>
</dt>
<dd>
For servers, this form of callback is invoked during client hello
message processing.
</dd>
<br>
<dt>
<strong>info</strong> <em>channel major minor message</em>
</dt>
<dd>
This form of callback is invoked by the OpenSSL function
<code>SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()</code>.
<br>
The <em>major</em> and <em>minor</em> arguments are used to
represent the state information bitmask.
<dl>
<dt>Possible values for <em>major</em> are:</dt>
<dd><code>handshake, alert, connect, accept</code>.</dd>
<dt>Possible values for <em>minor</em> are:</dt>
<dd><code>start, done, read, write, loop, exit</code>.</dd>
</dl>
The <em>message</em> argument is a descriptive string which may
be generated either by
<code>SSL_state_string_long()</code> or by
<code>SSL_alert_desc_string_long()</code>,
depending on context.
<dt>
<strong>sni</strong> <em>servername</em>
</dt>
<dd>
For servers, this form of callback is invoked when the SNI header
from the client is received. Where <i>servername</i> is the client
specified servername. This is used when a server supports multiple
names, so the right certificate can be used.
</dd>
<br>
<br>
<dt>
<strong>verify</strong> <em>channel depth cert status error</em>
</dt>
<dd>
This form of callback is invoked by OpenSSL when a new certificate
is received from the peer. It allows the client to check the
certificate verification result and choose whether to continue or not.
<br>
The <em>depth</em> argument is an integer representing the
current depth on the certificate chain, with
<code>0</code> as the subject certificate and higher values
denoting progressively more indirect issuer certificates.
<br>
The <em>cert</em> argument is a list of key-value pairs similar
to those returned by
<a href="#tls::status"><strong>tls::status</strong></a>.
<br>
The <em>status</em> argument is an integer representing the
current validity of the certificate.
A value of <code>0</code> means the certificate is deemed invalid.
A value of <code>1</code> means the certificate is deemed valid.
<br>
The <em>error</em> argument supplies the message, if any, generated
by <code>X509_STORE_CTX_get_error()</code>.
<br>
<br>
The callback may override normal validation processing by explicitly
returning one of the above <em>status</em> values.
</dd>
obtain a password. The callback should return a string which
represents the password to be used.
No arguments are appended to the script upon callback.
</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p>
Reference implementations of these callbacks are provided in the
distribution as <strong>tls::callback</strong> and
<strong>tls::password</strong> respectively. Note that these are
<em>sample</em> implementations only. In a more realistic deployment
you would specify your own callback scripts on each TLS channel
using the <em>-command</em> and <em>-password</em> options.
</p>
<p>
The default behavior when the <em>-command</em> option is not specified is for
TLS to process the associated library callbacks internally.
The default behavior when the <em>-password</em> option is not specified is for
TLS to process the associated library callbacks by attempting to call
<strong>tls::password</strong>.
The difference between these two behaviors is a consequence of maintaining
compatibility with earlier implementations.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>tls::debug</strong> variable provides some additional
control over these reference callbacks. Its value is zero by default.
Higher values produce more diagnostic output, and will also force the
verify method in <strong>tls::callback</strong> to accept the
certificate, even when it is invalid.
</p>
<p>
<em>
The use of the reference callbacks <strong>tls::callback</strong> and
<strong>tls::password</strong> is not recommended. They may be removed
from future releases.
</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>
The use of the variable <strong>tls::debug</strong> is not recommended.
It may be removed from future releases.
</em>
</p>
<h3><a name="DEBUG">DEBUG</a></h3>
TLS key logging can be enabled by setting the environment variable
<b>SSLKEYLOGFILE</b> to the name of the file to log to. Then whenever TLS
key material is generated or received it will be logged to the file.
<h3><a name="HTTPS EXAMPLE">HTTPS EXAMPLE</a></h3>
<p>This example uses a sample server.pem provided with the TLS release,
courtesy of the <strong>OpenSSL</strong> project.</p>
<pre><code>
package require http
package require tls

set tok [http::geturl https://www.tcl.tk/]
</code></pre>
<h3><a name="SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS">SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS</a></h3>
<p>The capabilities of this package can vary enormously based
upon how your OpenSSL library was configured and built. At the
most macro-level OpenSSL supports a "no patents" build,
which disables RSA, IDEA, RC(2,4,5) and SSL2 - if your OpenSSL is
configured this way then you will need to build TLS with the
-DNO_PATENTS option - and the resultant module will function
correctly and also support ADH certificate-less encryption,
however you will be unable to utilize this to speak to normal Web
Servers, which typically require RSA support. Please see <a
href="http://www.openssl.org/">http://www.openssl.org/</a> for
more information on the whole issue of patents and US export
restrictions. </p>

<h3><a name="CALLBACK OPTIONS">CALLBACK OPTIONS</a></h3>
<p>
As indicated above, individual channels can be given their own callbacks
to handle intermediate processing by the OpenSSL library, using the
<strong>-command</strong>, <strong>-password</strong>, and
<strong>-validate_command</strong> options passed to either of
<strong>tls::socket</strong> or <strong>tls::import</strong>.
If the callback generates an error, the <b>bgerror</b> command with be
invoked with the error information.
</p>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>-command</strong> <em>callback</em></dt>
<dd>
Invokes the specified <em>callback</em> script at several points
during the OpenSSL handshake and use. See below for the possible
arguments passed to the callback script. Values returned from the
callback are ignored.
<br>
<br>
<dl>
<dt>
<strong>error</strong> <em>channel message</em>
</dt>
<dd>
The <em>message</em> argument contains an error message generated
by the OpenSSL function <code>ERR_reason_error_string()</code>.
</dd>
<br>
<dt>
<strong>info</strong> <em>channel major minor message type</em>
</dt>
<dd>
This form of callback is invoked by the OpenSSL function
<code>SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()</code> during connection setup
and use.
<br>
<ul>
<li>Possible values for <em>major</em> are:
<code>handshake, alert, connect, accept</code>.</li>
<li>Possible values for <em>minor</em> are:
<code>start, done, read, write, loop, exit</code>.</li>
<li>The <em>message</em> argument is a descriptive string which may
be generated either by <code>SSL_state_string_long()</code> or by
<code>SSL_alert_desc_string_long()</code>, depending on the context.</li>
<li>For alerts, the possible values for <em>type</em> are:
<code>warning, fatal, and unknown</code>. For others,
<code>info</code> is used.</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<strong>message</strong> <em>channel direction version content_type data</em>
</dt>
<dd>
This form of callback is invoked by the OpenSSL function
<code>SSL_set_msg_callback()</code> whenever a message is sent or
received. It is only available when
OpenSSL is complied with the <em>enable-ssl-trace</em> option.
Where <em>direction</em> is Sent or Received, <em>version</em> is the
protocol version, <em>content_type</em> is the message content type,
and <em>data</em> is more info on the message from the <code>SSL_trace</code> API.
</dd>
<br>
<dt>
<strong>session</strong> <em>session_id ticket lifetime</em>
</dt>
<dd>
This form of callback is invoked by the OpenSSL function
<code>SSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb()</code>.
Where <em>session_id</em> is the current session identifier,
<em>ticket</em> is the session ticket info, and <em>lifetime</em>
is the the ticket lifetime in seconds.
</dd>
<br>
</dl>
</dd>
<br>
<dt><strong>-password</strong> <em>callback</em></dt>
<dd>
Invokes the specified <em>callback</em> script when OpenSSL needs to
obtain a password. See below for the possible arguments passed to
the callback script. See below for valid return values.
<br>
<br>
<dl>
<dt>
<strong>password</strong> <em>rwflag size</em>
</dt>
<dd>
Invoked when loading or storing a PEM certificate with encryption.
Where <em>rwflag</em> is 0 for reading/decryption or 1 for
writing/encryption (can prompt user to confirm) and
<em>size</em> is the max password length in bytes.
The callback should return the password as a string.
</dd>
</dd>
<br>
<dt><strong>-validatecommand</strong> <em>callback</em></dt>
<dd>
Invokes the specified <em>callback</em> script during handshake in
order to validate the provided value(s). See below for the possible
arguments passed to the callback script.
To reject the value and abort connection, the callback should return 0.
To accept the value and continue the connection, it should return 1.
To reject the value, but continue the connection, it should return 2.
<br>
<br>
<dl>
<dt>
<strong>alpn</strong> <em>protocol</em>
</dt>
<dd>
For servers, this form of callback is invoked when the client ALPN
extension is received. Where <em>protocol</em> is the first
<b>-alpn</b> specified protocol common to the both the client and
server. If none, the first client specified protocol is used.
Called after hello and ALPN callbacks.
</dd>
<br>
<dt>
<strong>hello</strong> <em>servername</em>
</dt>
<dd>
For servers, this form of callback is invoked during client hello
message processing. It is used to select an appropriate certificate to
present, and make other configuration adjustments relevant to that
server name and its configuration. Called before SNI and ALPN callbacks.
</dd>
<br>
<dt>
<strong>sni</strong> <em>servername</em>
</dt>
<dd>
For servers, this form of callback is invoked when the SNI extension
from the client is received. Where <em>servername</em> is the client
provided server name from the <b>-servername</b> option. This is
used when a server supports multiple names, so the right certificate
can be used. Called after hello callback but before ALPN callback.
</dd>
<br>
<dt>
<strong>verify</strong> <em>channel depth cert status error</em>
</dt>
<dd>
This form of callback is invoked by OpenSSL when a new certificate
is received from the peer. It allows the client to check the
certificate verification results and choose whether to continue
or not. It is called for each certificate in the certificate chain.
<ul>
<li>The <em>depth</em> argument is an integer representing the
current depth on the certificate chain, with
<code>0</code> as the peer certificate and higher values going
up to the Certificate Authority (CA).</li>
<li>The <em>cert</em> argument is a list of key-value pairs similar
to those returned by
<a href="#tls::status"><strong>tls::status</strong></a>.</li>
<li>The <em>status</em> argument is an boolean representing the
validity of the current certificate.
A value of <code>0</code> means the certificate is deemed invalid.
A value of <code>1</code> means the certificate is deemed valid.</li>
<li>The <em>error</em> argument supplies the message, if any, generated
by <code>X509_STORE_CTX_get_error()</code>.</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<br>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p>
Reference implementations of these callbacks are provided in the
distribution as <strong>tls::callback</strong>, <strong>tls::password</strong>,
and <strong>tls::validate_command</strong> respectively. Note that these are
<em>sample</em> implementations only. In a more realistic deployment
you would specify your own callback scripts on each TLS channel using the
<strong>-command</strong>, <strong>-password</strong>, and <strong>-validate_command</strong> options.
</p>
<p>
The default behavior when the <strong>-command</strong> and <strong>-validate_command</strong>
options are not specified is for TLS to process the associated library callbacks
internally. The default behavior when the <strong>-password</strong> option is not
specified is for TLS to process the associated library callbacks by attempting
to call <strong>tls::password</strong>.
The difference between these two behaviors is a consequence of maintaining
compatibility with earlier implementations.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>tls::debug</strong> variable provides some additional
control over these reference callbacks. Its value is zero by default.
Higher values produce more diagnostic output, and will also force the
verify method in <strong>tls::callback</strong> to accept the
certificate, even when it is invalid.
</p>
<p>
<em>
The use of the reference callbacks <strong>tls::callback</strong>,
<strong>tls::password</strong>, and <strong>tls::validate_command</strong>
is not recommended. They may be removed from future releases.
</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>
The use of the variable <strong>tls::debug</strong> is not recommended.
It may be removed from future releases.
</em>
</p>
<h3><a name="DEBUG">DEBUG</a></h3>
TLS key logging can be enabled by setting the environment variable
<b>SSLKEYLOGFILE</b> to the name of the file to log to. Then whenever TLS
key material is generated or received it will be logged to the file. This
is useful for logging key data for network logging tools to use to
decrypt the data.

<p>This example uses a sample server.pem provided with the TLS release,
courtesy of the <strong>OpenSSL</strong> project.</p>

</code></pre>
<h3><a name="SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS">SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS</a></h3>
<p>The capabilities of this package can vary enormously based upon how your
OpenSSL library was configured and built. New versions may obsolete older
protocol versions, add or remove ciphers, change default values, etc. Use the
<strong>tls::ciphers</strong> and <strong>tls::protocols</strong> commands to
obtain the supported versions.</p>
