Detailed Description

MQTTClient_sslProperties defines the settings to establish an SSL/TLS connection using the OpenSSL library.

It covers the following scenarios:

Server authentication: The client needs the digital certificate of the server. It is included in a store containting trusted material (also known as "trust store").
Mutual authentication: Both client and server are authenticated during the SSL handshake. In addition to the digital certificate of the server in a trust store, the client will need its own digital certificate and the private key used to sign its digital certificate stored in a "key store".
Anonymous connection: Both client and server do not get authenticated and no credentials are needed to establish an SSL connection. Note that this scenario is not fully secure since it is subject to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Field Documentation

◆ CApath

const char* MQTTClient_SSLOptions::CApath

From the OpenSSL documentation: If CApath is not NULL, it points to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format.

Exists only if struct_version >= 2

◆ disableDefaultTrustStore

int MQTTClient_SSLOptions::disableDefaultTrustStore

Don't load default SSL CA.

Should be used together with PSK to make sure regular servers with certificate in place is not accepted. Exists only if struct_version >= 4

◆ enabledCipherSuites

const char* MQTTClient_SSLOptions::enabledCipherSuites

The list of cipher suites that the client will present to the server during the SSL handshake.

For a full explanation of the cipher list format, please see the OpenSSL on-line documentation: http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT If this setting is ommitted, its default value will be "ALL", that is, all the cipher suites -excluding those offering no encryption- will be considered. This setting can be used to set an SSL anonymous connection ("aNULL" string value, for instance).

◆ keyStore

const char* MQTTClient_SSLOptions::keyStore

The file in PEM format containing the public certificate chain of the client.

It may also include the client's private key.

◆ protos

const unsigned char* MQTTClient_SSLOptions::protos

The protocol-lists must be in wire-format, which is defined as a vector of non-empty, 8-bit length-prefixed, byte strings.

The length-prefix byte is not included in the length. Each string is limited to 255 bytes. A byte-string length of 0 is invalid. A truncated byte-string is invalid. Check documentation for SSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos Exists only if struct_version >= 5

◆ ssl_psk_cb

unsigned int(* MQTTClient_SSLOptions::ssl_psk_cb) (const char *hint, char *identity, unsigned int max_identity_len, unsigned char *psk, unsigned int max_psk_len, void *u)

Callback function for setting TLS-PSK options.

Parameters correspond to that of SSL_CTX_set_psk_client_callback, except for u which is the pointer ssl_psk_context. Exists only if struct_version >= 4

◆ sslVersion

int MQTTClient_SSLOptions::sslVersion

The SSL/TLS version to use.

Specify one of MQTT_SSL_VERSION_DEFAULT (0), MQTT_SSL_VERSION_TLS_1_0 (1), MQTT_SSL_VERSION_TLS_1_1 (2) or MQTT_SSL_VERSION_TLS_1_2 (3). Only used if struct_version is >= 1.

◆ struct_id

char MQTTClient_SSLOptions::struct_id[4]

The eyecatcher for this structure.

Must be MQTS

◆ struct_version

int MQTTClient_SSLOptions::struct_version

The version number of this structure.

Must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. 0 means no sslVersion 1 means no verify, CApath 2 means no ssl_error_context, ssl_error_cb 3 means no ssl_psk_cb, ssl_psk_context, disableDefaultTrustStore 4 means no protos, protos_len

◆ verify

int MQTTClient_SSLOptions::verify

Whether to carry out post-connect checks, including that a certificate matches the given host name.
