module Netsys_tls:sig..end
Netsys_crypto_types.TLS_PROVIDER. The provider is passed
here as first-class value together with the configuration and
with the endpoint (socket). In particular, we have
module type FILE_TLS_ENDPOINT =
sig
module TLS : TLS_PROVIDER
val endpoint : TLS.endpoint
val rd_file : Unix.file_descr
val wr_file : Unix.file_descr
end
(see Netsys_crypto_types). In many cases, you can consider the
packed modules as opaque values. Sometimes, however, it is
useful to call functions of the provider directly. You can do this
as follows, demonstrated by calling the provider function
get_peer_crt_list for endpoint:
let module Endpoint =
(val endpoint : Netsys_crypto_types.FILE_TLS_ENDPOINT) in
let certificates =
Endpoint.TLS.get_peer_crt_list Endpoint.endpoint
If you do this, be aware that the inner types of the
provider are meaningless outside, and you get a compiler error
"type ... would escape its scope" if you try to export such typed
values. Exceptions thrown by the provider should be caught and
translated to Error with Netsys_tls.translate_exn.

algorithms: a string specifying which cryptographic algorithms,
protocols and protocol options
are enabled, and in which priority they are used in the negotiation.
(GnuTLS calls this "priority string".) The syntax is
implementation-defined.dh_params: parameters for Diffie-Hellman key exchange (used for
DH-based authentication, but only on the server side)peer_auth: controls whether the peer is requested to authenticate.
This can be set to `None meaning not to request authentication
and to ignore credentials, or to `Optional meaning not to request
authentication but to check credentials if they are sent
nevertheless, or to `Required meaning to request and check
credentials. For "standard clients" you should set this to
`Required, and for "standard servers" to `None or
`Required.verify is a function called to verify the peer certificate
in addition to the actions of peer_auth. The function must
return true in order to be successful. The arguments of the
function are the TLS endpoint, and two bools indicating the
success of previous checks. The first bool says whether the
certificate is trusted (based on peer_auth, trust and
system_trust), and the second bool says whether the host name
of the peer matches the name in the certificate. If not
passed, verify defaults to (fun _ cert_ok name_ok ->
cert_ok && name_ok), i.e. both bools must be true.system_trust: if set, the system certificates are trustedtrust specifies the CAs of peers to trust (default: empty)revoke specifies CRLs for revocation of peer certificates
(default: empty)keys are our own certificates, as triples
(cert_path, private_key, password) (default: empty)
A client should set trust to the list of CAs it can accept on
the server side. It is not required to specify a key.
A server must specify a key (but can also specify several keys).
If a server requests authentication from the client, it must also
set trust.
The keys must include the full certificate path cert_path, starting
with the endpoint certificate, followed by all middle certificates, and
ending with the certificate of the CA. The private_key
is the key of the endpoint. If it is password-encrypted, the
password must be given.

Creates a new TLS endpoint (encapsulated as module, together with
the provider) for the case that the data flows over file descriptors.
rd is used for reading data, and wr for writing (of
course, both descriptors may be identical).
peer_name is the expected common name or DNS name of the
peer. peer_name has an option type as it is not always
required to pass it. However, keep in mind that clients
normally authenticate servers (peer_auth=`Required). In
order to do so, they need to check whether the name in the
server certificate equals the DNS name of the service they
are connected to. This check is done by comparing peer_name
with the name in the certificate.
peer_name is also used for the SNI extension.
Servers normally need not to set peer_name. You can also omit it
when there is no name-driven authentication at all.

This is only possible for client endpoints.

Both phenomenons can cause that data needs to be written first.
on_rehandshake: returns whether renegotiations are allowed. Defaults to
true. Also, this function is guaranteed to be called when a
renegotiation request arrives. In this case, recv will raise
an exception such as Netsys_types.EAGAIN_RD or
Netsys_types.EAGAIN_WR, but never return normally.
If interrupted the function can be safely invoked again.
