[jira] [Created] (TS-1584) Exposing client SSL certificate verification result in plugin API

Thach Tran created TS-1584:
------------------------------

             Summary: Exposing client SSL certificate verification result in plugin API 
                 Key: TS-1584
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-1584
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SSL, TS API
    Affects Versions: 3.3.4
            Reporter: Thach Tran
            Priority: Minor


I'm writing an authentication plugin for traffic server and would like to implement the following logic:
  * If the client supplies valid certificate over ssl, allow the transaction to proceed with no further authentication.
  * Otherwise challenge the client with username/password authentication.

Currently if I turn on client certificate checking in TS (proxy.config.ssl.client.certification_level > 0), the result of the client certificate verification happens at the SSLNetVConnection level and plugin hooks have no knowledge of this. This makes implementing the aforementioned logic not possible.

James Peach commented on TS-1584:
---------------------------------

I took a quick look and I'm generally positive. The main comment I have is that there is a lot more interesting SSL session information to expose, so we should think harder about making a more general API that can expose additional information as we want it.

[jira] [Updated] (TS-1584) Exposing client SSL certificate verification result in plugin API

Posted by "Thach Tran (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-1584?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Thach Tran updated TS-1584:
---------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-Exposing-client-ssl-certificate-verification-result-.patch

I included a unittest for the new function in the API but it's rather useless in which it's only test the case of plain non-ssl client connection.
