DESCRIPTION
BIO_f_ssl(3) returns the SSL BIO method. This is a filter BIO which is a
wrapper round the OpenSSL SSL routines adding a BIO "flavour" to SSL
I/O.
I/O performed on an SSL BIO communicates using the SSL protocol with
the SSLs read and write BIOs. If an SSL connection is not established
then an attempt is made to establish one on the first I/O call.
If a BIO is appended to an SSL BIO using BIO_push() it is automatically
used as the SSL BIOs read and write BIOs.
Calling BIO_reset() on an SSL BIO closes down any current SSL
connection by calling SSL_shutdown(). BIO_reset() is then sent to the
next BIO in the chain: this will typically disconnect the underlying
transport. The SSL BIO is then reset to the initial accept or connect
state.
If the close flag is set when an SSL BIO is freed then the internal SSL
structure is also freed using SSL_free().
BIO_set_ssl() sets the internal SSL pointer of SSL BIO b to ssl using
the close flag c.
BIO_get_ssl() retrieves the SSL pointer of SSL BIO b, it can then be
manipulated using the standard SSL library functions.
BIO_set_ssl_mode() sets the SSL BIO mode to client. If client is 1
client mode is set. If client is 0 server mode is set.
BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes() sets the renegotiate byte count of SSL
BIO b to num. When set after every num bytes of I/O (read and write)
the SSL session is automatically renegotiated. num must be at least 512
bytes.
BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() sets the renegotiate timeout of SSL
BIO b to seconds. When the renegotiate timeout elapses the session is
automatically renegotiated.
BIO_get_num_renegotiates() returns the total number of session
renegotiations due to I/O or timeout of SSL BIO b.
BIO_new_ssl() allocates an SSL BIO using SSL_CTX ctx and using client
mode if client is non zero.
BIO_new_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of an SSL BIO
(using ctx) followed by a connect BIO.
BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of a
buffering BIO, an SSL BIO (using ctx), and a connect BIO.
BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() copies an SSL session id between BIO chains
from and to. It does this by locating the SSL BIOs in each chain and
calling SSL_copy_session_id() on the internal SSL pointer.
BIO_ssl_shutdown() closes down an SSL connection on BIO chain bio. It
does this by locating the SSL BIO in the chain and calling
SSL_shutdown() on its internal SSL pointer.
BIO_do_handshake() attempts to complete an SSL handshake on the
supplied BIO and establish the SSL connection. For non-SSL BIOs the
connection is done typically at TCP level. If domain name resolution
yields multiple IP addresses all of them are tried after connect()
failures. The function returns 1 if the connection was established
successfully. A zero or negative value is returned if the connection
could not be established. The call BIO_should_retry() should be used
for nonblocking connect BIOs to determine if the call should be
retried. If a connection has already been established this call has no
effect.
NOTES
SSL BIOs are exceptional in that if the underlying transport is non
blocking they can still request a retry in exceptional circumstances.
Specifically this will happen if a session renegotiation takes place
during a BIO_read_ex() operation, one case where this happens is when
step up occurs.
The SSL flag SSL_AUTO_RETRY can be set to disable this behaviour. That
is when this flag is set an SSL BIO using a blocking transport will
never request a retry.
Since unknown BIO_ctrl() operations are sent through filter BIOs the
servers name and port can be set using BIO_set_host() on the BIO
returned by BIO_new_ssl_connect() without having to locate the connect
BIO first.
Applications do not have to call BIO_do_handshake() but may wish to do
so to separate the handshake process from other I/O processing.
BIO_set_ssl(), BIO_get_ssl(), BIO_set_ssl_mode(),
BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes(), BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout(),
BIO_get_num_renegotiates(), and BIO_do_handshake() are implemented as
macros.
BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() is not currently supported on QUIC SSL
objects and fails if called on such an object.
RETURN VALUES
BIO_f_ssl(3) returns the SSL BIO_METHOD structure.
BIO_set_ssl(), BIO_get_ssl(), BIO_set_ssl_mode(),
BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes(), BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() and
BIO_get_num_renegotiates() return 1 on success or a value which is less
than or equal to 0 if an error occurred.
BIO_new_ssl(), BIO_new_ssl_connect() and BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect()
return a valid BIO structure on success or NULL if an error occurred.
BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() returns 1 on success or 0 on error, or if
called on a QUIC SSL object.
BIO_do_handshake() returns 1 if the connection was established
successfully. A zero or negative value is returned if the connection
could not be established.
EXAMPLES
This SSL/TLS client example attempts to retrieve a page from an SSL/TLS
web server. The I/O routines are identical to those of the unencrypted
example in BIO_s_connect(3).
BIO *sbio, *out;
int len;
char tmpbuf[1024];
SSL_CTX *ctx;
SSL *ssl;
/* XXX Seed the PRNG if needed. */
ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_client_method());
/* XXX Set verify paths and mode here. */
sbio = BIO_new_ssl_connect(ctx);
BIO_get_ssl(sbio, &ssl);
if (ssl == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't locate SSL pointer\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
exit(1);
}
/* XXX We might want to do other things with ssl here */
/* An empty host part means the loopback address */
BIO_set_conn_hostname(sbio, ":https");
out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
if (BIO_do_connect(sbio) <= 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error connecting to server\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
exit(1);
}
/* XXX Could examine ssl here to get connection info */
BIO_puts(sbio, "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n");
for (;;) {
len = BIO_read(sbio, tmpbuf, 1024);
if (len <= 0)
break;
BIO_write(out, tmpbuf, len);
}
BIO_free_all(sbio);
BIO_free(out);
Here is a simple server example. It makes use of a buffering BIO to
allow lines to be read from the SSL BIO using BIO_gets. It creates a
pseudo web page containing the actual request from a client and also
echoes the request to standard output.
BIO *sbio, *bbio, *acpt, *out;
int len;
char tmpbuf[1024];
SSL_CTX *ctx;
SSL *ssl;
/* XXX Seed the PRNG if needed. */
ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_server_method());
if (!SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file(ctx, "server.pem", SSL_FILETYPE_PEM)
|| !SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file(ctx, "server.pem", SSL_FILETYPE_PEM)
|| !SSL_CTX_check_private_key(ctx)) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error setting up SSL_CTX\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
exit(1);
}
/* XXX Other things like set verify locations, EDH temp callbacks. */
/* New SSL BIO setup as server */
sbio = BIO_new_ssl(ctx, 0);
BIO_get_ssl(sbio, &ssl);
if (ssl == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't locate SSL pointer\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
exit(1);
}
bbio = BIO_new(BIO_f_buffer());
sbio = BIO_push(bbio, sbio);
acpt = BIO_new_accept("4433");
/*
* By doing this when a new connection is established
* we automatically have sbio inserted into it. The
* BIO chain is now 'swallowed' by the accept BIO and
* will be freed when the accept BIO is freed.
*/
BIO_set_accept_bios(acpt, sbio);
out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
/* First call to BIO_do_accept() sets up accept BIO */
if (BIO_do_accept(acpt) <= 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error setting up accept BIO\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
exit(1);
}
/* Second call to BIO_do_accept() waits for incoming connection */
if (BIO_do_accept(acpt) <= 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error accepting connection\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
exit(1);
}
/* We only want one connection so remove and free accept BIO */
sbio = BIO_pop(acpt);
BIO_free_all(acpt);
if (BIO_do_handshake(sbio) <= 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error in SSL handshake\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
exit(1);
}
BIO_puts(sbio, "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nContent-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n");
BIO_puts(sbio, "\r\nConnection Established\r\nRequest headers:\r\n");
BIO_puts(sbio, "--------------------------------------------------\r\n");
for (;;) {
len = BIO_gets(sbio, tmpbuf, 1024);
if (len <= 0)
break;
BIO_write(sbio, tmpbuf, len);
BIO_write(out, tmpbuf, len);
/* Look for blank line signifying end of headers*/
if (tmpbuf[0] == '\r' || tmpbuf[0] == '\n')
break;
}
BIO_puts(sbio, "--------------------------------------------------\r\n");
BIO_puts(sbio, "\r\n");
BIO_flush(sbio);
BIO_free_all(sbio);
HISTORY
In OpenSSL before 1.0.0 the BIO_pop() call was handled incorrectly, the
I/O BIO reference count was incorrectly incremented (instead of
decremented) and dissociated with the SSL BIO even if the SSL BIO was
not explicitly being popped (e.g. a pop higher up the chain).
Applications which included workarounds for this bug (e.g. freeing BIOs
more than once) should be modified to handle this fix or they may free
up an already freed BIO.
