Documentation

The base abstract class for security contexts. A security context contains the values that a secure tranport protocol such as TLS needs. It may include such things as the private key and identity certificate of the principal represented, what level of peer certification is required, the required levels of message security, the ciphers supported, and the CA certificates of trusted CA's. The actual context is implmented in a concrete SSLcontext which is a subclass of the SSLContextImpl. It inherits the SSLConstants.
virtual ~SSLContextImpl()
Destructor

Version getVersion() const
Returns the version number of the security context provider

bool isClientContext()
Returns true if this is a client context

void setVerify(int verify)
Sets the level of peer verfication that is required. 


Parameters:
verify -  level. The choices for client contexts are:
VERIFY_NONE
VERIFY_PEER
VERIFY_PEER | VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
The following choices are also available for server contexts.
VERIFY_PEER | VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE
VERIFY_PEER | VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT | VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE

virtual void setCertificateFile(const string& certFile, FileType type)
Sets the path name of the file that contains the principal's X.509 identity certificate.
Parameters:
certFile - Pathname of the file containing the identity cert.
type - either PEM or ASN1

virtual void setPrivateKeyFile(const string& keyFile, FileType type)
Sets the path name of the file that contains the principal's private key
Parameters:
keyFile - Pathname of the file containing the private key.
type - either PEM or ASN1

void setCAFile(const string& path, const string& name)
Sets the path name of the file that contains a trusted CA's X.509 identity certificate
Parameters:
path - Directory name of the file
name - file name of the file

virtual string paramString() const
Returns a string representation for SSLContextImpl which is used for debugging purposes.
Returns:
debugging info
