Examine Client Certificates for an Accepted TLS Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how to access the client certificates for a TLS connection accepted by your application acting as the server. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

listenSslSocket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()

# An SSL/TLS server needs a digital certificate.  This example loads it from a PFX file.
# This is the server's certificate.

cert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()
success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/serverCert/myServerCert.pfx","pfx_password")
if (success == false)
    print cert.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# To accept client client certificates in the TLS handshake,
# we must indicate a list of acceptable client certificate root CA DN's
# that are allowed.  (DN is an acronym for Distinguished Name.)
# Call AddSslAcceptableClientCaDn once for each acceptable CA DN.
# Here are a few examples so you can see the general format of a DN.
listenSslSocket.AddSslAcceptableClientCaDn("C=SE, O=AddTrust AB, OU=AddTrust External TTP Network, CN=AddTrust External CA Root")
listenSslSocket.AddSslAcceptableClientCaDn("O=Digital Signature Trust Co., CN=DST Root CA X3")

# Initialize with our server's TLS certificate.
success = listenSslSocket.InitSslServer(cert)
if (success == false)
    print listenSslSocket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Bind and listen on a port:
myPort = 8123
# Allow for a max of 5 queued connect requests.
backLog = 5
success = listenSslSocket.BindAndListen(myPort,backLog)
if (success == false)
    print listenSslSocket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Accept the next incoming connection.
maxWaitMillisec = 20000

clientSock = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()
success = listenSslSocket.AcceptNext(maxWaitMillisec,clientSock)
if (success == false)
    print listenSslSocket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Examine the client certs chain.  The 1st cert will be the client certificate, and
# the subsequent certs will be the certs in the chain of authentication.
numClientCerts = clientSock.get_NumReceivedClientCerts()
print "numClientCerts = " + numClientCerts.to_s() + "\n";

clientCert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()
i = 0
while i < numClientCerts
    clientSock.GetRcvdClientCert(i,clientCert)
    print clientCert.subjectDN() + "\n";
    i = i + 1
end

# Close the connection with the client
success = clientSock.Close(1000)
