.. _openssl-ssl:
:py:mod:`SSL` --- An interface to the SSL-specific parts of OpenSSL
===================================================================
.. py:module:: OpenSSL.SSL
:synopsis: An interface to the SSL-specific parts of OpenSSL
This module handles things specific to SSL. There are two objects defined:
Context, Connection.
.. py:data:: SSLv2_METHOD
SSLv3_METHOD
SSLv23_METHOD
TLSv1_METHOD
TLSv1_1_METHOD
TLSv1_2_METHOD
These constants represent the different SSL methods to use when creating a
context object. If the underlying OpenSSL build is missing support for any
of these protocols, constructing a :py:class:`Context` using the
corresponding :py:const:`*_METHOD` will raise an exception.
.. py:data:: VERIFY_NONE
VERIFY_PEER
VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
These constants represent the verification mode used by the Context
object's :py:meth:`set_verify` method.
.. py:data:: FILETYPE_PEM
FILETYPE_ASN1
File type constants used with the :py:meth:`use_certificate_file` and
:py:meth:`use_privatekey_file` methods of Context objects.
.. py:data:: OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
OP_SINGLE_ECDH_USE
Constants used with :py:meth:`set_options` of Context objects.
When these options are used, a new key will always be created when using
ephemeral (Elliptic curve) Diffie-Hellman.
.. py:data:: OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA
Constant used with :py:meth:`set_options` of Context objects.
When this option is used, ephemeral RSA keys will always be used when doing
RSA operations.
.. py:data:: OP_NO_TICKET
Constant used with :py:meth:`set_options` of Context objects.
When this option is used, the session ticket extension will not be used.
.. py:data:: OP_NO_COMPRESSION
Constant used with :py:meth:`set_options` of Context objects.
When this option is used, compression will not be used.
.. py:data:: OP_NO_SSLv2
OP_NO_SSLv3
OP_NO_TLSv1
OP_NO_TLSv1_1
OP_NO_TLSv1_2
OP_NO_TLSv1_3
Constants used with :py:meth:`set_options` of Context objects.
Each of these options disables one version of the SSL/TLS protocol. This
is interesting if you're using e.g. :py:const:`SSLv23_METHOD` to get an
SSLv2-compatible handshake, but don't want to use SSLv2. If the underlying
OpenSSL build is missing support for any of these protocols, the
:py:const:`OP_NO_*` constant may be undefined.
.. py:data:: SSLEAY_VERSION
SSLEAY_CFLAGS
SSLEAY_BUILT_ON
SSLEAY_PLATFORM
SSLEAY_DIR
Constants used with :py:meth:`SSLeay_version` to specify what OpenSSL version
information to retrieve. See the man page for the :py:func:`SSLeay_version` C
API for details.
.. py:data:: SESS_CACHE_OFF
SESS_CACHE_CLIENT
SESS_CACHE_SERVER
SESS_CACHE_BOTH
SESS_CACHE_NO_AUTO_CLEAR
SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE
SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL
Constants used with :py:meth:`Context.set_session_cache_mode` to specify
the behavior of the session cache and potential session reuse. See the man
page for the :py:func:`SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode` C API for details.
.. versionadded:: 0.14
.. py:data:: OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
An integer giving the version number of the OpenSSL library used to build this
version of pyOpenSSL. See the man page for the :py:func:`SSLeay_version` C API
for details.
.. autofunction:: SSLeay_version
.. py:data:: ContextType
See :py:class:`Context`.
.. autoclass:: Context
.. autoclass:: Session
.. py:data:: ConnectionType
See :py:class:`Connection`.
.. py:class:: Connection(context, socket)
A class representing SSL connections.
*context* should be an instance of :py:class:`Context` and *socket*
should be a socket [#connection-context-socket]_ object. *socket* may be
*None*; in this case, the Connection is created with a memory BIO: see
the :py:meth:`bio_read`, :py:meth:`bio_write`, and :py:meth:`bio_shutdown`
methods.
.. py:exception:: Error
This exception is used as a base class for the other SSL-related
exceptions, but may also be raised directly.
Whenever this exception is raised directly, it has a list of error messages
from the OpenSSL error queue, where each item is a tuple *(lib, function,
reason)*. Here *lib*, *function* and *reason* are all strings, describing
where and what the problem is. See :manpage:`err(3)` for more information.
.. py:exception:: ZeroReturnError
This exception matches the error return code
:py:data:`SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN`, and is raised when the SSL Connection has
been closed. In SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, this only occurs if a closure alert has
occurred in the protocol, i.e. the connection has been closed cleanly. Note
that this does not necessarily mean that the transport layer (e.g. a socket)
has been closed.
It may seem a little strange that this is an exception, but it does match an
:py:data:`SSL_ERROR` code, and is very convenient.
.. py:exception:: WantReadError
The operation did not complete; the same I/O method should be called again
later, with the same arguments. Any I/O method can lead to this since new
handshakes can occur at any time.
The wanted read is for **dirty** data sent over the network, not the
**clean** data inside the tunnel. For a socket based SSL connection,
**read** means data coming at us over the network. Until that read
succeeds, the attempted :py:meth:`OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.recv`,
:py:meth:`OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.send`, or
:py:meth:`OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.do_handshake` is prevented or incomplete. You
probably want to :py:meth:`select()` on the socket before trying again.
.. py:exception:: WantWriteError
See :py:exc:`WantReadError`. The socket send buffer may be too full to
write more data.
.. py:exception:: WantX509LookupError
The operation did not complete because an application callback has asked to be
called again. The I/O method should be called again later, with the same
arguments.
.. note:: This won't occur in this version, as there are no such
callbacks in this version.
.. py:exception:: SysCallError
The :py:exc:`SysCallError` occurs when there's an I/O error and OpenSSL's
error queue does not contain any information. This can mean two things: An
error in the transport protocol, or an end of file that violates the protocol.
The parameter to the exception is always a pair *(errnum,
errstr)*.
.. _openssl-context:
Context objects
---------------
Context objects have the following methods:
.. autoclass:: OpenSSL.SSL.Context
:members:
.. _openssl-session:
Session objects
---------------
Session objects have no methods.
.. _openssl-connection:
Connection objects
------------------
Connection objects have the following methods:
.. autoclass:: OpenSSL.SSL.Connection
:members:
.. Rubric:: Footnotes
.. [#connection-context-socket] Actually, all that is required is an object that
**behaves** like a socket, you could even use files, even though it'd be
tricky to get the handshakes right!
