Its purpose is to simplify application +configuration of B<SSL_CTX> or B<SSL> structures by providing a common +framework for configuration files or command line options. + +=head1 SUPPORTED CONFIGURATION FILE COMMANDS + +Currently supported B<cmd> names for configuration files (i.e. when the +flag B<SSL_CONF_FLAG_FILE> is set) are listed below. All configuration file +B<cmd> names and are case insensitive so B<signaturealgorithms> is recognised +as well as B<SignatureAlgorithms>. Unless otherwise states the B<value> names +are also case insensitive. + +Note: the command prefix (if set) alters the recognised B<cmd> values. + +=over 4 + +=item B<CipherSuite> + +Sets the cipher suite list to B<value>. Note: syntax checking of B<value> is +currently not performed unless a B<SSL> or B<SSL_CTX> structure is +associated with B<cctx>. + +=item B<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 B<value> argument should be a colon separated list of signature algorithms +in order of decreasing preference of the form B<algorithm+hash>. B<algorithm> +is one of B<RSA>, B<DSA> or B<ECDSA> and B<hash> is a supported algorithm +OID short name such as B<SHA1>, B<SHA224>, B<SHA256>, B<SHA384> of B<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. + +=item B<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 use for the client certificate. + +The syntax of B<value> is identical to B<SignatureAlgorithms>. If not set then +the value set for B<SignatureAlgorithms> will be used instead. + +=item B<Curves> + +This sets the supported elliptic curves. For servers the curves are +sent using the supported curves extension to TLS. For clients the it is used +to determine which curve to use. This affects curves used for both signatures +and key exchange. + +The B<value> argument is a colon separated list of curves. The curve can be +either the B<NIST> name (e.g. B<P-256>) or an OpenSSL OID name (e.g +B<prime256v1>). Curve names are case sensitive. + +=item B<ECDHParameters> + +This sets the temporary curve used for ephemeral ECDH modes. + +The B<value> argument is a curve name or the special value B<Automatic> which +automatically picks an appropriate curve based on client and server +preferences. The curve can be either the B<NIST> name (e.g. B<P-256>) or an +OpenSSL OID name (e.g B<prime256v1>). Curve names are case sensitive. + +=item B<Protocol> + +The supported versions of the SSL or TLS protocol. + +The B<value> argument is a comma separated list of supported protocols to +enable or disable. If an protocol is preceded by B<-> that version is disabled. +All versions are enabled by default, though applications may choose to +explicitly disable some version. Currently supported protocol +values are B<SSLv2>, B<SSLv3>, B<TLSv1>, B<TLSv1.1> and B<TLSv1.2>. The +special value B<ALL> refers to all supported versions. + +=item B<Options> + +The B<value> argument is a comma separated list of various flags to set. +If a flag string is preceded B<-> it is disabled. See the +B<SSL_CTX_set_options> function for more details of individual options. + +Each option is listed below. Where an operation is enabled by default +the B<-flag> syntax is needed to disable it. + +B<SessionTicket>: session ticket support, enabled by default. Inverse of +B<SSL_OP_NO_TICKET>: that is B<-SessionTicket> is the same as setting +B<SSL_OP_NO_TICKET>. + +B<Compression>: SSL/TLS compression support, enabled by default. Inverse +of B<SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION>. + +B<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 B<SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS>. + +B<Bugs> enable various bug workarounds. Same as B<SSL_OP_ALL>. + +B<DHSingle> enable single use DH keys, set by default. Inverse of +B<SSL_OP_DH_SINGLE>. Only used by servers. + +B<ECDHSingle> enable single use ECDH keys, set by default. Inverse of +B<SSL_OP_ECDH_SINGLE>.

Only supported if OpenSSL is configured with +B<-DOPENSSL_SSL_DEBUG_BROKEN_PROTOCOL>. + +=back + +=head1 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", "-SSLv2"); + SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, userparam, uservalue); + +it will disable SSLv2 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", "-SSLv2"); + +SSLv2 is B<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 B<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 check for an initial prefix ("-", "--" or "--ssl-" for example) +on a command argument and pass the rest to B<cmd>. The following argument +is passed to B<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 B<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. + +=head1 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"); + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +SSL_CONF_cmd() return 1 if the value of B<cmd> is recognised and B<value> is +B<NOT> used and 2 if both B<cmd> and B<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 B<cmd> is not recognised. + +A return value of -3 means B<cmd> is recognised and the command requires a +value but B<value> is NULL. + +A return code of 0 indicates that both B<cmd> and B<value> are valid but an +error occurred attempting to perform the operation: for example due to an +error in the syntax of B<value> in this case the error queue may provide +additional information. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<SSL_CONF_CTX_new(3)|SSL_CONF_CTX_new(3)>, +L<SSL_CONF_CTX_set_flags(3)|SSL_CONF_CTX_set_flags(3)>, +L<SSL_CONF_CTX_set1_prefix(3)|SSL_CONF_CTX_set1_prefix(3)>, +L<SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl_ctx(3)|SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl_ctx(3)>, +L<SSL_CONF_cmd_argv(3)|SSL_CONF_cmd_argv(3)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +SSL_CONF_cmd() was first added to OpenSSL 1.1.0 + +=cut
