<p>This extension provides TCL script access to secure socket communications
using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. It provides a generic
binding to <a href="https://www.openssl.org/">OpenSSL</a>, utilizing the
<b class="syscmd">Tcl_StackChannel</b> API in TCL 8.4 and higher.
These sockets behave exactly the same as channels created using the built-in
<b class="syscmd">socket</b> command, but provide additional options for controlling
the SSL/TLS session.</p>
</div>
<div id="section2" class="doctools_section"><h2><a name="section2">Commands</a></h2>

<div id="subsection3" class="doctools_subsection"><h3><a name="subsection3">When are command line options needed?</a></h3>
<p>In TclTLS 1.8 and earlier versions, certificate validation is
<em>NOT</em> enabled by default. This limitation is due to the lack of a common
cross platform database of Certificate Authority (CA) provided certificates to
validate against. Many Linux systems natively support OpenSSL and thus have
these certificates installed as part of the OS, but MacOS and MS Windows do not.
Staring in TclTLS 2.0, this has been changed to require certificate validation
by default. In order to use the <b class="option">-require</b> option, one of the following
must be true:</p>
<ul class="doctools_itemized">
<li><p>On Linux and Unix systems with OpenSSL already installed or if the CA
certificates are available in PEM format, and if they are stored in the
standard locations, or if the <b class="variable">SSL_CERT_DIR</b> or <b class="variable">SSL_CERT_FILE</b>
environment variables are set, then <b class="option">-cadir</b>, <b class="option">-cadir</b>,

<li><p>If OpenSSL is not installed in the default location, or when using Mac OS

In TclTLS 2.0, this is the default value if <b class="option">-cadir</b>,
<b class="option">-cadir</b>, and <b class="option">-castore</b> are not specified.</p></li>
<li><p>If OpenSSL is not installed or the CA certificates are not available in PEM

[description]

This extension provides TCL script access to secure socket communications
using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. It provides a generic
binding to [uri "https://www.openssl.org/" OpenSSL], utilizing the
[syscmd Tcl_StackChannel] API in TCL 8.4 and higher.
These sockets behave exactly the same as channels created using the built-in
[syscmd socket] command, but provide additional options for controlling
the SSL/TLS session.

[section Commands]

The following are the commands provided by the TcLTLS package. See the
[sectref Examples] for example usage and the [file demos] directory for
more example usage.


[list_begin definitions]

[call [cmd tls::init] [opt [arg -option]] [opt [arg value]] [opt [arg "-option value ..."]]]

Optional function to set the default options used by [cmd tls::socket]. If you
call [cmd tls::import] directly, the values set by this command have no effect.
This command supports all of the same options as the [cmd tls::socket] command,
though you should limit your options to only TLS related ones.

[call [cmd tls::socket] [opt [arg -option]] [opt [arg value]] [opt [arg "-option value ..."]] [arg host] [arg port]]

This is a helper function that utilizes the underlying commands [syscmd socket]
and [cmd tls::import] to create the connection. It behaves the same as the
native TCL [syscmd socket] command, but also supports the [cmd tls:import]
command options with one additional option. It returns the channel handle id
for the new socket.

[list_begin options]

[opt_def -autoservername [arg bool]]
If [const true], automatically set the [option -servername] argument to the
[emph host] argument. Prior to TclTLS 2.0, the default is [const false].
Starting in TclTLS 2.0, the default is [const true] unless [option -servername]
is also specified.

[list_end]

[call [cmd tls::socket] [option -server] [arg command] [opt [arg -option]] [opt [arg value]] [opt [arg "-option value ..."]] [arg port]]

Same as previous, but instead creates a server socket for clients to connect to
just like the Tcl [syscmd "socket -server"] command. It returns the channel
handle id for the new socket.

[call [cmd tls::import] [arg channel] [opt [arg -option]] [opt [arg value]] [opt [arg "-option value ..."]]]

Start TLS encryption on TCL channel [arg channel] via a stacked channel. It
need not be a socket, but must provide bi-directional flow. Also sets session
parameters for SSL handshake. Valid options are:

[list_begin options]

[opt_def -alpn [arg list]]
List of protocols to offer during Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation
(ALPN). For example: [const h2] and [const http/1.1], but not [const h3] or
[const quic]. This option is new for TclTLS 1.8.

[opt_def -cadir [arg directory]]
Specifies the directory where the Certificate Authority (CA) certificates are
stored. The default is platform specific and can be set at compile time. The
default location can be overridden by the [var SSL_CERT_DIR] environment
variable. See [sectref "Certificate Validation"] for more details.

[opt_def -cafile [arg filename]]
Specifies the file with the Certificate Authority (CA) certificates to use in
[const PEM] file format. The default is [file cert.pem], in the OpenSSL
directory. The default file can be overridden by the [var SSL_CERT_FILE] environment
variable. See [sectref "Certificate Validation"] for more details.

[opt_def -castore [arg URI]]
Specifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the Certificate Authority
(CA) store, which may be a single container or a catalog of containers.
Starting with OpenSSL 3.2 on MS Windows, set to "[const "org.openssl.winstore://"]"
to use the built-in MS Windows Certificate Store.
See [sectref "Certificate Validation"] for more details.
This option is new for TclTLS 1.8.

[opt_def -certfile [arg filename]]
Specifies the name of the file with the certificate to use in PEM format
as the local (client or server) certificate. It also contains the public key.

[opt_def -cert [arg string]]
Specifies the certificate to use as a DER encoded string (X.509 DER).

documentation for the full list of valid values.

[opt_def -ciphersuites [arg string]]
Specifies the list of cipher suites to use for TLS 1.3 as a colon
"[const :]" separated list of cipher suite names. See the
[uri "https://docs.openssl.org/master/man1/openssl-ciphers/#options" OpenSSL]
documentation for the full list of valid values.
This option is new for TclTLS 1.8.

[opt_def -command [arg callback]]
Specifies the callback command to be invoked at several points during the
handshake to pass errors, tracing information, and protocol messages.
See [sectref "Callback Options"] for more info.

[opt_def -dhparams [arg filename]]

[opt_def -model [arg channel]]
Force this channel to share the same [term SSL_CTX] structure as the
specified [arg channel], and therefore share config, callbacks, etc.

[opt_def -password [arg callback]]
Specifies the callback command to invoke when OpenSSL needs to obtain a
password. This is typically used to unlock the private key of a certificate.
The callback should return a password string. This option has changed for
TclTLS 1.8. See [sectref "Callback Options"] for more info.

[opt_def -post_handshake [arg bool]]
Allow post-handshake session ticket updates. This option is new for TclTLS 1.8.

[opt_def -request [arg bool]]
Request a certificate from the peer during the SSL handshake. This is needed
to do Certificate Validation. Starting in TclTLS 1.8, the default is
[const true]. Starting in TclTLS 2.0, If set to [const false] and
[option -require] is [const true], then this will be overridden to [const true].
See [sectref "Certificate Validation"] for more details.

[opt_def -require [arg bool]]
Require a valid certificate from the peer during the SSL handshake. If this is
set to true, then [option -request] must also be set to true and a either
[option -cadir], [option -cafile], [option -castore], or a platform default
must be provided in order to validate against. The default in TclTLS 1.8 and
earlier versions is [const false] since not all platforms have certificates to
validate against in a form compatible with OpenSSL. Starting in TclTLS 2.0,
the default is [const true].
See [sectref "Certificate Validation"] for more details.

[opt_def -security_level [arg integer]]
Specifies the security level (value from 0 to 5). The security level affects
the allowed cipher suite encryption algorithms, supported ECC curves,
supported signature algorithms, DH parameter sizes, certificate key sizes
and signature algorithms. The default is 1 prior to OpenSSL 3.2 and 2
thereafter. Level 3 and higher disable support for session tickets and
only accept cipher suites that provide forward secrecy.
This option is new for TclTLS 1.8.

[opt_def -server [arg bool]]
Specifies whether to act as a server and respond with a server handshake when a
client connects and provides a client handshake. The default is [const false].

[opt_def -servername [arg hostname]]
Specify the peer's hostname. This is used to set the TLS Server Name Indication
(SNI) extension. Set this to the expected servername in the server's certificate
or one of the Subject Alternate Names (SAN). Starting in TclTLS 2.0, this will
default to the host for the [cmd tls::socket] command.

[opt_def -session_id [arg binary_string]]
Specifies the session id to resume a session. Not supported yet.
This option is new for TclTLS 1.8.

[opt_def -ssl2 [arg bool]]
Enable use of SSL v2.The default is [const false].
OpenSSL 1.1+ no longer supports SSL v2, so this may not have any effect.
See the [cmd tls::protocols] command for supported protocols.

[opt_def -ssl3 [arg bool]]
Enable use of SSL v3. The default is [const false]. Starting in TclTLS 1.8,
use of SSL v3 if only available via a compile time option.
See the [cmd tls::protocols] command for supported protocols.

[opt_def -tls1 [arg bool]]
Enable use of TLS v1. Starting in TclTLS 2.0, the default is [const false].
Note: TLS 1.0 needs SHA1 to operate, which is only available in security level
0 for Open SSL 3.0+. See the [arg -security_level] option.

[opt_def -tls1.1 [arg bool]]
Enable use of TLS v1.1. Starting in TclTLS 2.0, the default is [const false].
Note: TLS 1.1 needs SHA1 to operate, which is only available in security level
0 for Open SSL 3.0+. See the [arg -security_level] option.

[opt_def -tls1.2 [arg bool]]
Enable use of TLS v1.2. The default is [const true].

[opt_def -tls1.3 [arg bool]]
Enable use of TLS v1.3. The default is [const true]. This is only available
starting with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and TclTLS 1.7.

[opt_def -validatecommand [arg callback]]
Specifies the callback command to invoke to validate the peer certificates
and other config info during the protocol negotiation phase. This can be used
by TCL scripts to perform their own Certificate Validation to supplement the
default validation provided by OpenSSL. The script must return a boolean true
to continue the negotiation. See [sectref "Callback Options"] for more info.
This option is new for TclTLS 1.8.

protocol are returned. See the [cmd tls::protocols] command for the supported
protocols. If [arg verbose] is specified as true then a verbose, human readable
list is returned with additional information on the cipher. If [arg supported]
is specified as true, then only the ciphers supported for protocol will be listed.
The [arg supported] arg is new for TclTLS 1.8.

[call [cmd tls::protocols]]

Returns a list of the supported SSL/TLS protocols. Valid values are:
[const ssl2], [const ssl3], [const tls1], [const tls1.1], [const tls1.2], and
[const tls1.3]. Exact list depends on OpenSSL version and compile time flags.
This command is new for TclTLS 1.8.

[call [cmd tls::version]]

Returns the OpenSSL version string.

[list_end]

The following options are used for peer certificate validation:

[list_begin options]

[opt_def -cadir [arg directory]]
Specifies the directory where the Certificate Authority (CA) certificates are
stored. The default is platform specific, but is usually [file /etc/ssl/certs] on
Linux/Unix systems. The default location can be overridden by the
[var SSL_CERT_DIR] environment variable.

[opt_def -cafile [arg filename]]
Specifies the file with the Certificate Authority (CA) certificates to use in
[const PEM] file format. The default is [file cert.pem], in the OpenSSL
directory. On Linux/Unix systems, this is usually [file /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem].
The default file can be overridden by the [var SSL_CERT_FILE] environment
variable.

[opt_def -castore [arg URI]]
Specifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the Certificate Authority
(CA) store, which may be a single container or a catalog of containers.
Starting with OpenSSL 3.2 on MS Windows, set to "[const "org.openssl.winstore://"]"
to use the built-in MS Windows Certificate Store. Starting in TclTLS 2.0, this
is the default if [option -cadir], [option -cadir], and [option -castore] are
not specified. This store only supports root certificate stores. See
[sectref "Certificate Validation"] for more details.

[opt_def -request [arg bool]]
Request a certificate from the peer during the SSL handshake. This is needed
to do Certificate Validation. Starting in TclTLS 1.8, the default is
[const true]. Starting in TclTLS 2.0, If set to [const false] and
[option -require] is [const true], then this will be overridden to [const true].
In addition, the client can manually inspect and accept or reject
each certificate using the [arg -validatecommand] option.

[opt_def -require [arg bool]]
Require a valid certificate from the peer during the SSL handshake. If this is
set to true, then [option -request] must also be set to true and a either
[option -cadir], [option -cafile], [option -castore], or a platform default
must be provided in order to validate against. The default in TclTLS 1.8 and
earlier versions is [const false] since not all platforms have certificates to
validate against in a form compatible with OpenSSL. Starting in TclTLS 2.0,
the default is [const true].

[list_end]

[subsection "When are command line options needed?"]

In TclTLS 1.8 and earlier versions, certificate validation is
[emph NOT] enabled by default. This limitation is due to the lack of a common
cross platform database of Certificate Authority (CA) provided certificates to
validate against. Many Linux systems natively support OpenSSL and thus have
these certificates installed as part of the OS, but MacOS and MS Windows do not.
Staring in TclTLS 2.0, this has been changed to require certificate validation
by default. In order to use the [option -require] option, one of the following
must be true:

[list_begin itemized]

[item]
On Linux and Unix systems with OpenSSL already installed or if the CA
certificates are available in PEM format, and if they are stored in the

[var SSL_CERT_FILE] environment variables or the one of the [option -cadir],
[option -cadir], or [option -castore] options must be defined.

[item]
On MS Windows, starting in OpenSSL 3.2, it is now possible to access the
built-in Windows Certificate Store from OpenSSL. This can utilized by
setting the [option -castore] option to "[const org.openssl.winstore://]".
In TclTLS 2.0, this is the default value if [option -cadir],
[option -cadir], and [option -castore] are not specified.

[item]
If OpenSSL is not installed or the CA certificates are not available in PEM
format, the CA certificates must be downloaded and installed with the user
software. The CURL team makes them available at
[uri "https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html" "CA certificates extracted
from Mozilla"] in the [file cacert.pem] file. You must then either set the

option is set to [cmd tls::validate_command].

[emph "The use of the variable [var tls::debug] is not recommended.
It may be removed from future releases."]

[section "Examples"]

The following are example scripts to download a webpage and file using the
http package. See [sectref "Certificate Validation"] for when the
[option -cadir], [option -cafile], and [option -castore] options are also
needed. See the [file demos] directory for more example scripts.

.SH DESCRIPTION
This extension provides TCL script access to secure socket communications
using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol\&. It provides a generic
binding to \fIOpenSSL\fR [https://www\&.openssl\&.org/], utilizing the
\fBTcl_StackChannel\fR API in TCL 8\&.4 and higher\&.
These sockets behave exactly the same as channels created using the built-in
\fBsocket\fR command, but provide additional options for controlling
the SSL/TLS session\&.
.SH COMMANDS
The following are the commands provided by the TcLTLS package\&. See the
\fBExamples\fR for example usage and the "\fIdemos\fR" directory for
more example usage\&.

\fBtls::init\fR ?\fI-option\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fI-option value \&.\&.\&.\fR?
Optional function to set the default options used by \fBtls::socket\fR\&. If you
call \fBtls::import\fR directly, the values set by this command have no effect\&.
This command supports all of the same options as the \fBtls::socket\fR command,
though you should limit your options to only TLS related ones\&.
.TP
\fBtls::socket\fR ?\fI-option\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fI-option value \&.\&.\&.\fR? \fIhost\fR \fIport\fR
This is a helper function that utilizes the underlying commands \fBsocket\fR
and \fBtls::import\fR to create the connection\&. It behaves the same as the
native TCL \fBsocket\fR command, but also supports the \fBtls:import\fR
command options with one additional option\&. It returns the channel handle id
for the new socket\&.
.RS

.SS "WHEN ARE COMMAND LINE OPTIONS NEEDED?"
In TclTLS 1\&.8 and earlier versions, certificate validation is

In TclTLS 2\&.0, this is the default value if \fB-cadir\fR,
\fB-cadir\fR, and \fB-castore\fR are not specified\&.

If OpenSSL is not installed or the CA certificates are not available in PEM
format, the CA certificates must be downloaded and installed with the user
software\&. The CURL team makes them available at
\fICA certificates extracted
from Mozilla\fR [https://curl\&.se/docs/caextract\&.html] in the "\fIcacert\&.pem\fR" file\&. You must then either set the
\fBSSL_CERT_DIR\fR and/or \fBSSL_CERT_FILE\fR environment variables or the

The default value is 0 with higher values producing more diagnostic output,
and will also force the verify method in \fBtls::callback\fR to accept the
certificate, even if it is invalid when the \fB-validatecommand\fR
option is set to \fBtls::validate_command\fR\&.

\fIThe use of the variable \fBtls::debug\fR is not recommended\&.
It may be removed from future releases\&.\fR
.SH EXAMPLES
The following are example scripts to download a webpage and file using the
http package\&. See \fBCertificate Validation\fR for when the
\fB-cadir\fR, \fB-cafile\fR, and \fB-castore\fR options are also
needed\&. See the "\fIdemos\fR" directory for more example scripts\&.
