- Using SSL
- =========
-
-The implementation and use of SSL has some differences on Linux and
-on Windows.
-
-Linux
-=====
-
-SSL support for Qpid-C++ is based on Mozilla's Network Security Services
-library. SSL support will be built automatically providing this library
-and include files are found at build time.
-
-Broker side SSL Settings (note you can get these by qpidd --help)
-
-SSL Settings:
- --ssl-use-export-policy Use NSS export policy
- --ssl-cert-password-file PATH File containing password to use for accessing
- certificate database
- --ssl-cert-db PATH Path to directory containing certificate
- database
- --ssl-cert-name NAME (hostname) Name of the certificate to use
- --ssl-port PORT (5671) Port on which to listen for SSL connections
- --ssl-require-client-authentication Forces clients to authenticate in order
- to establish an SSL connection
- --ssl-sasl-no-dict Disables SASL mechanisms that are vulner able to
- passive dictionary-based password attacks
-
-The first four of these are also available as client options (where
-they must either be in the client config file or set as environment
-variables e.g. QPID_SSL_CERT_DB).
-
-To run either the broker or client you need ssl-cert-db-path to point
-to the directory where relevant certificate and key databases can be
-found.
-
-Certificate databases are set up using certutil (included in the
-nss-tools package on fedora). See the NSS site for examples[1] and
-full details[2].
-
-For a simple testing you can set up a single db with a single self
-signed certificate. E.g (with myhost and mydomain replaced by the
-hostname and domainname of the machine in question respectively):
-
- mkdir test_cert_db
- certutil -N -d test_cert_db -f cert.password
- certutil -S -d test_cert_db -n "myhost.mydomain" \
- -s "CN=myhost.mydomain" -t "CT,," -x \
- -f cert.password -z /usr/bin/certutil
-
-Here cert.password is a file with a password in it that will be needed
-for accessing the created db.
-
-The daemon can then be started with something like the following:
-
-./src/qpidd --auth no \
- --ssl-cert-db ./test_cert_db \
- --ssl-cert-password-file ./cert.password \
- --ssl-cert-name myhost.mydomain
-
-then for client set:
-
-QPID_SSL_CERT_DB=./test_cert_db
-
-and run e.g.
-
-./src/tests/perftest --count 10000 -P ssl --port 5671 \
- --broker myhost.mydomain
-
-When authentication is enabled, the EXTERNAL mechanism will be
-available on client authenticated SSL connections. This allows the
-clients authorisation id to be taken from the validated client
-certificate (it will be the CN with any DCs present appended as the
-domain, e.g. CN=bob,DC=acme,DC=com would result in an identity of
-bob@acme.com).

-Windows
-=======
-
-SSL support for Qpid-C++ on Windows is implemented using the Microsoft
-Secure Channel (Schannel) package. Currently, only registry based
-certificates scoped to the local machine are supported on the broker.
-The client may specify client certificates in a user scoped store or in
-a pkcs#12 file.
-
-For testing purposes, a self signed certificate can be created as
-follows (requiring Administrator privilege on more recent versions of
-Windows):
-
- makecert -ss qpidstore -n "CN=myhost.mydomain" -r -sr localmachine myhost.cer
-
-where "qpidstore" is an abitrary certificate store name. The
-resulting output file "myhost.cer" is the public key of the
-certificate that will be required by any client that wishes to
-authenticate myhost.
-
-To run the server (also as Administrator on recent Windows versions):
-
- qpidd --ssl-cert-name myhost.mydomain --ssl-cert-store qpidstore [other-args]
-
-On the Windows client side, the SSL support is available without
-loading a separate support module. For each machine or separate user
-that will be using qpid, you must import the self signed certificate
-as a trusted root. This can be done from the MMC certificate snapin
-or directly using certmgr.exe. From the main window:
-
- select "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
- select "Action" -> "Import..."
- then direct the Certificate Import Wizard to the "myhost.cer" file
-
-To test the setup:
-
- perftest --count 10000 -P ssl --port 5671 --broker myhost.mydomain
-
-To export the certificate to non Windows clients, note that
-"myhost.cer" is the X.509 representation of the public key of the
-certificate in DER format. Import the certificate into the other
-clients if they support the DER format. Otherwise the certificate can
-be converted to PEM format using OpenSSL
-
- openssl x509 -in myhost.cer -inform DER -out myhost.pem -outform PEM
-
-Client certificates operate much the same as for Linux, except for
-identifying the certificate storage. Process environment variables
-are used but the certificate name may be set or overridden by its Qpid
-Messaging connection option. For Windows registry stores, you specify
-the store:
-
- QPID_SSL_CERT_STORE=teststore
-
-If you omit the certificate store name, it defaults to the "Personal" or
-"MY" store. For a certificate stored in a pkcs#12 format file, you must
-supply the filename and a file containing the password for the
-certificate's private key:
-
- QPID_SSL_CERT_FILENAME=wg444.pfx
- QPID_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_FILE=pw_wg444.txt
-
-The certificate is specified by its "friendly name", i.e.
-
- QPID_SSL_CERT_NAME=guest123
-
-as an environment variable, or in the case of a Qpid Messaging
-connection option:
-
- {transport:ssl,sasl-mechanism:EXTERNAL,ssl-cert-name:guest789}
