HAProxy - Load balancer
87fd994727
This patch implements the ability to load a certificate directory with the "ca-file" directive. The X509_STORE_load_locations() API does not allow to cache a directory in memory at startup, it only references the directory to allow a lookup of the files when needed. But that is not compatible with the way HAProxy works, without any access to the filesystem. The current implementation loads every ".pem", ".crt", ".cer", and ".crl" available in the directory which is what is done when using c_rehash and X509_STORE_load_locations(). Those files are cached in the same X509_STORE referenced by the directory name. When looking at "show ssl ca-file", everything will be shown in the same entry. This will eventually allow to load more easily the CA of the system, which could already be done with "ca-file /etc/ssl/certs" in the configuration. Loading failure intentionally emit a warning instead of an alert, letting HAProxy starts when one of the files can't be loaded. Known limitations: - There is a bug in "show ssl ca-file", once the buffer is full, the iohandler is not called again to output the next entries. - The CLI API is kind of limited with this, since it does not allow to add or remove a entry in a particular ca-file. And with a lot of CAs you can't push them all in a buffer. It probably needs a "add ssl ca-file" like its done with the crt-list. Fix issue #1476. |
