Justin Ross updated PROTON-161:
-------------------------------
Labels: close-pending security (was: security)
> SSL impl does not allow verification of the peer's identity
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PROTON-161
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-161
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: proton-j
> Affects Versions: 0.3
> Reporter: Ken Giusti
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: close-pending, security
>
> The current SSL implementation validates the peer's certificate, and will not
> permit the connection to come up if the certificate is invalid.
> However - it does not provide a way to check if the peer's identity as
> provided in the certificate is the expected identity (eg, the same hostname
> used to set up the TCP connection). While a certificate may be valid (that
> is, signed by a CA trusted by the client), it may not belong to the intended
> destination.
> RFC2818 explains how this should be done - see section 3.1 Server Identity.
