NAME POE::Filter::SSL - The easiest and flexiblest way to SSL in POE! VERSION Version 0.18 DESCRIPTION This module allows to secure connections of *POE::Wheel::ReadWrite* with OpenSSL by a *POE::Filter* object, and behaves (beside of SSLing) as *POE::Filter::Stream*. *POE::Filter::SSL* can be added, switched and removed during runtime, for example if you want to initiate SSL (see the *SSL on an established connection* example in *SYNOPSIS*) on an already established connection. You are able to combine *POE::Filter::SSL* with other filters, for example have a HTTPS server together with *POE::Filter::HTTPD* (see the *HTTPS-Server* example in *SYNOPSIS*). *POE::Filter::SSL* is based on *Net::SSLeay*, but got two XS functions which *Net::SSLeay* is missing. Features Full non-blocking processing No use of sockets at all Server and client mode Optional client certificate verification Allows to accept connections with invalid or missing client certificate and return custom error data CRL check of client certificates Retrieve client certificate details (subject name, issuer name, certificate serial) Upcoming Features Direct cipher encryption without SSL or TLS protocol, for example with static AES encryption SYNOPSIS By default *POE::Filter::SSL* acts as a SSL server. To use it in client mode you just have to set the *client* option of *new()*. TCP-Client #!perl use warnings; use strict; use POE qw(Component::Client::TCP Filter::SSL); POE::Component::Client::TCP->new( RemoteAddress => "yahoo.com", RemotePort => 443, Filter => [ "POE::Filter::SSL", client => 1 ], Connected => sub { $_[HEAP]{server}->put("HEAD /\r\n"); }, ServerInput => sub { my $input = $_[ARG0]; # The following line is needed to do the SSL handshake! return $_[HEAP]{server}->put() unless $input; print "from server: $input\n"; }, ); POE::Kernel->run(); exit; TCP-Server #!perl use warnings; use strict; use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP); POE::Component::Server::TCP->new( Port => 443, ClientFilter => [ "POE::Filter::SSL", crt => 'server.crt', key => 'server.key' ], ClientConnected => sub { print "got a connection from $_[HEAP]{remote_ip}\n"; $_[HEAP]{client}->put("Smile from the server!"); }, ClientInput => sub { my $client_input = $_[ARG0]; # The following line is needed to do the SSL handshake! return $_[HEAP]{client}->put() unless $client_input; $client_input =~ tr[a-zA-Z][n-za-mN-ZA-M]; $_[HEAP]{client}->put($client_input); }, ); POE::Kernel->run; exit; HTTPS-Server #!perl use warnings; use strict; use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP Filter::SSL Filter::HTTPD); use HTTP::Response; POE::Component::Server::TCP->new( Alias => "web_server", Port => 443, ClientFilter => [ 'POE::Filter::SSL', crt => 'server.crt', key => 'server.key' ], ClientInput => sub { my ($kernel, $heap, $request) = @_[KERNEL, HEAP, ARG0]; return unless (POE::Filter::SSL::doHandshake($heap->{client}, POE::Filter::HTTPD->new())); if ($request->isa("HTTP::Response")) { $heap->{client}->put($request); $kernel->yield("shutdown"); return; } my $request_fields = ''; $request->headers()->scan( sub { my ($header, $value) = @_; $request_fields .= "$header$value"; } ); my $response = HTTP::Response->new(200); $response->push_header('Content-type', 'text/html'); $response->content( "Your Request" . "Details about your request:" . "$request_fields
" . "" ); $heap->{client}->put($response); $kernel->yield("shutdown"); } ); $poe_kernel->run(); SSL on an established connection Advanced Example This example is a IMAP-Relay which forwards the connections to a IMAP server by username. It allows the uncrypted transfer on port 143, with the option of SSL on the established connection (STARTTLS). On port 993 it allows to do direct SSL. Tested with Thunderbird version 3.0.5. #!perl use warnings; use strict; use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP Component::Client::TCP Filter::SSL Filter::Stream); my $defaultImapServer = "not.existing.de"; my $usernameToImapServer = { user1 => 'mailserver1.domain.de', user2 => 'mailserver2.domain.de', # ... }; POE::Component::Server::TCP->new( Port => 143, ClientFilter => "POE::Filter::Stream", ClientDisconnected => \&disconnect, ClientConnected => \&connected, ClientInput => \&handleInput, InlineStates => { send_stuff => \&send_stuff, _child => \&child } ); POE::Component::Server::TCP->new( Port => 993, ClientFilter => [ "POE::Filter::SSL", crt => 'server.crt', key => 'server.key' ], ClientConnected => \&connected, ClientDisconnected => \&disconnect, ClientInput => \&handleInput, InlineStates => { send_stuff => \&send_stuff, _child => \&child } ); sub disconnect { my ($kernel, $session, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, SESSION, HEAP]; logevent('server got disconnect', $session); $kernel->post($heap->{client_id} => "shutdown"); } sub connected { my ($kernel, $session, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, SESSION, HEAP]; logevent("got a connection from ".$heap->{remote_ip}, $session); $heap->{client}->put("* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] IMAP Relay v0.1 ready.\r\n"); } sub send_stuff { my ($heap, $stuff, $session) = @_[HEAP, ARG0, SESSION]; logevent("-> ".length($stuff)."

It uses *doHandshake()* to add *POE::Filter::HTTPD* to process the cleartext data. #!perl use strict; use warnings; use Socket; use POE qw( Wheel::SocketFactory Wheel::ReadWrite Driver::SysRW Filter::SSL Filter::Stackable Filter::HTTPD ); POE::Session->create( inline_states => { _start => sub { my $heap = $_[HEAP]; $heap->{listener} = POE::Wheel::SocketFactory->new( BindAddress => '0.0.0.0', BindPort => 443, Reuse => 'yes', SuccessEvent => 'socket_birth', FailureEvent => '_stop', ); }, _stop => sub { delete $_[HEAP]->{listener}; }, socket_birth => sub { my ($socket) = $_[ARG0]; POE::Session->create( inline_states => { _start => sub { my ($heap, $kernel, $connected_socket, $address, $port) = @_[HEAP, KERNEL, ARG0, ARG1, ARG2]; $heap->{socket_wheel} = POE::Wheel::ReadWrite->new( Handle => $connected_socket, Driver => POE::Driver::SysRW->new(), Filter => POE::Filter::SSL->new( ### HERE WE ARE!!! crt => 'server.crt', key => 'server.key', cactr => 'ca.crt', cipher => 'AES256-SHA', #cacrl => 'ca.crl', # Uncomment this, if you have a CRL file. debug => 1, clientcert => 1 ), InputEvent => 'socket_input', ErrorEvent => '_stop', ); $heap->{sslfilter} = $heap->{socket_wheel}->get_input_filter(); }, socket_input => sub { my ($kernel, $heap, $buf) = @_[KERNEL, HEAP, ARG0]; # The following line is needed to do the SSL handshake and add the Filter::HTTPD! return unless POE::Filter::SSL::doHandshake($heap->{socket_wheel}, POE::Filter::HTTPD->new()); my ($certid) = ($heap->{sslfilter}->clientCertIds()); $certid = $certid ? $certid->[0]."

It accepts the following options: debug Shows debug messages of *clientCertNotOnCRL()*. client By default *POE::Filter::SSL* acts as a SSL server. To use it in client mode, you have to set this option. crt The certificate file (.crt) for the server, only needed in server mode. key The key file (.key) of the certificate for the server, only needed in server mode. clientcert The server requests the client for a client certificat during ssl handshake, only useful in server mode. WARNING: If the client provides an untrusted or no client certficate, the connection is not failing. You have to ask *clientCertValid()* if the certicate is valid! cacrt The ca certificate file (ca.crt), which is used to verificate the client certificates against a CA. cacrl Configures a CRL (ca.crl) against the client certificate is verified by *clientCertValid()*. cipher Specify which ciphers are allowed for the synchronous encrypted transfer of the data over the ssl connection. Example: cipher => 'AES256-SHA' blockbadclientcert Let OpenSSL deny the connection if there is no or an invalid client certificate. WARNING: If the client is listed in the CRL file, the connection will be established! You have to ask *clientCertValid()* if you have the *crl* option set on *new()*, otherwise to ask *clientCertNotOnCRL()* if the certificate is listed on your CRL file! handshakeDone(options) Returns *true* if the handshake is done and all data for hanshake has been written out. It accepts the following options: ignorebuf Returns *true* if OpenSSL has established the connection, regardless if all data has been written out. This is needed if you want to exchange the Filter of *POE::Wheel::ReadWrite* before the first data comes in. This option is currently only used by *doHandshake()* to be able to add new filters before first cleartext data to be processed gets in. clientCertNotOnCRL($file) Verifies if the serial of the client certificate is not contained in the CRL $file. No file caching is done, each call opens the file again. WARNING: If your CRL file is missing, can not be opened is empty or has no blocked certificate at all in it, then every call will get blocked! clientCertIds() Returns an array of every certificate found by OpenSSL. Each element is again a array. The first element is the value of *X509_get_subject_name*, second is the value of *X509_get_issuer_name* and third element is the serial of the certificate in binary form. You have to use *split()* and *ord()*, or the *hexdump()* function, to convert it to a readable form. Example: my ($certid) = ($heap->{sslfilter}->clientCertIds()); $certid = $certid ? $certid->[0]."
".$certid->[1]."
SERIAL=".$heap->{sslfilter}->hexdump($certid->[2]) : 'No client certificate'; clientCertValid() Returns *true* if there is a client certificate that is valid. It also tests against the CRL, if you have the *cacrl* option set on *new()*. doHandshake($readWrite, $filter, $filter, ...) Allows to add filters after the ssl handshake. It has to be called in the input handler, and needs the passing of the *POE::Wheel::ReadWhile* object. If it returns false, you have to return from the input handler. See the *HTTPS-Server*, *SSL on an established connection* and *Client certificate verification* examples in *SYNOPSIS* clientCertExists() Returns *true* if there is a client certificate, that might be untrusted. WARNING: If the client provides an untrusted client certficate a client certicate that is listed in CRL, this function returns *true*. You have to ask *clientCertValid()* if the certicate is valid! hexdump($string) Returns string data in hex format.
