1. Notes
|
|
--------
|
|
This extension won't build unless your PostgreSQL server is configured
|
|
with --with-openssl. Information provided with these functions would
|
|
be completely useless if you don't use SSL to connect to database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Functions Description
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
2.1. ssl_is_used()
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
ssl_is_used() RETURNS boolean;
|
|
|
|
Returns TRUE, if current connection to server uses SSL and FALSE
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
2.2. ssl_client_cert_present()
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
ssl_client_cert_present() RETURNS boolean
|
|
|
|
Returns TRUE if current client have presented valid SSL client
|
|
certificate to the server and FALSE otherwise (e.g., no SSL,
|
|
certificate hadn't be requested by server).
|
|
|
|
2.3. ssl_client_serial()
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
ssl_client_serial() RETURNS numeric
|
|
|
|
Returns serial number of current client certificate. The combination
|
|
of certificate serial number and certificate issuer is guaranteed to
|
|
uniquely identify certificate (but not its owner -- the owner ought to
|
|
regularily change his keys, and get new certificates from the issuer).
|
|
|
|
So, if you run you own CA and allow only certificates from this CA to
|
|
be accepted by server, the serial number is the most reliable (albeit
|
|
not very mnemonic) means to indentify user.
|
|
|
|
2.4. ssl_client_dn()
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
ssl_client_dn() RETURNS text
|
|
|
|
Returns the full subject of current client certificate, converting
|
|
character data into the current database encoding. It is assumed that
|
|
if you use non-Latin characters in the certificate names, your
|
|
database is able to represent these characters, too. If your database
|
|
uses the SQL_ASCII encoding, non-Latin characters in the name will be
|
|
represented as UTF-8 sequences.
|
|
|
|
The result looks like '/CN=Somebody /C=Some country/O=Some organization'.
|
|
|
|
2.5. ssl_issuer_dn()
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Returns the full issuer name of the client certificate, converting
|
|
character data into current database encoding.
|
|
|
|
The combination of the return value of this function with the
|
|
certificate serial number uniquely identifies the certificate.
|
|
|
|
The result of this function is really useful only if you have more
|
|
than one trusted CA certificate in your server's root.crt file, or if
|
|
this CA has issued some intermediate certificate authority
|
|
certificates.
|
|
|
|
2.6. ssl_client_dn_field()
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
ssl_client_dn_field(fieldName text) RETURNS text
|
|
|
|
This function returns the value of the specified field in the
|
|
certificate subject. Field names are string constants that are
|
|
converted into ASN1 object identificators using the OpenSSL object
|
|
database. The following values are acceptable:
|
|
|
|
commonName (alias CN)
|
|
surname (alias SN)
|
|
name
|
|
givenName (alias GN)
|
|
countryName (alias C)
|
|
localityName (alias L)
|
|
stateOrProvinceName (alias ST)
|
|
organizationName (alias O)
|
|
organizationUnitName (alias OU)
|
|
title
|
|
description
|
|
initials
|
|
postalCode
|
|
streetAddress
|
|
generationQualifier
|
|
description
|
|
dnQualifier
|
|
x500UniqueIdentifier
|
|
pseudonim
|
|
role
|
|
emailAddress
|
|
|
|
All of these fields are optional, except commonName. It depends
|
|
entirely on your CA policy which of them would be included and which
|
|
wouldn't. The meaning of these fields, howeer, is strictly defined by
|
|
the X.500 and X.509 standards, so you cannot just assign arbitrary
|
|
meaning to them.
|
|
|
|
2.7 ssl_issuer_field()
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
ssl_issuer_field(fieldName text) RETURNS text;
|
|
|
|
Does same as ssl_client_dn_field, but for the certificate issuer
|
|
rather than the certificate subject.
|
