Rafael H. Schloming updated PROTON-161: --------------------------------------- Labels: security (was: ) > SSL impl does not allow verification of the peer's identity > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PROTON-161 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-161 > Project: Qpid Proton > Issue Type: Bug > Components: proton-j > Affects Versions: 0.3 > Reporter: Ken Giusti > Assignee: Philip Harvey > Priority: Blocker > Labels: security > > The current SSL implementation validates the peer's certificate, and will not > permit the connection to come up if the certificate is invalid. > However - it does not provide a way to check if the peer's identity as > provided in the certificate is the expected identity (eg, the same hostname > used to set up the TCP connection). While a certificate may be valid (that > is, signed by a CA trusted by the client), it may not belong to the intended > destination. > RFC2818 explains how this should be done - see section 3.1 Server Identity. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
