Qpid-cpp SSL options

[Fernández, José Alberto <ja...@indra.es>]

Hi all,

We are using qpid-cpp using AMQP 1.0 with SSL to connect to an external broker.

Broker administrator told us to set the following ssl parameters due to we are getting SSL errors due to verification fails

Trust all = true
Verify host = false

We have set:
connection.setOption("ssl-ignore-hostname-verification-failure", "TRUE");
to  fullfil  Verify host = false.

Is this option right?

Is there any options to set trust all to true?

If you need any log or other information contact us.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Yes, that means that even if the certificate is not signed for use as 
the hostname by which you are connecting, it will not fail. (Of course 
that does mean that SSL is not guaranteeing you are actually connected 
to the host you want to connect to.)

Not that I know of. The qpid-cpp library uses mozilla's NSS for SSL. 
Assuming your server is using a self signed cert, and that is the reason 
for wanting to trust all, you can just add the public cert for the 
server to your clients cert dab and mark it trusted.
