In the IRC meeting August 26, the current plug-in API was discussed in relation to a Trac ticket [1] which requested access to the complete X509 certificate structures.
Several approaches was discussed, but a consensus was met that the current plug-in API was not flexible enough to tackle this. Instead of creating yet another API which just adds the X509 structures usable by OpenSSL, it was decided to try to design a new API which could be extended more easily in the future, without implementing new functions constantly. This patch series is a first-stab at such an a design. It is designed to support all the features of the v2 API, but the arguments to openvpn_plugin_open_v3() and openvpn_plugin_func_v3() is different. Most of the input arguments, are now sent as a struct in stead. The X509 certificate data is not yet provided via the plug-in as the ticket [1] requests, but it prepares the ground to add this information later on when a new plug-in API has been accepted and implemented. Kind regards, David Sommerseth [1] https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/44 David Sommerseth (3): Define the new openvpn_plugin_{open,func}_v3() API Implement the core v3 plug-in function calls. Added a simple plug-in demonstrating the v3 plug-in API. openvpn-plugin.h | 181 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- plugin.c | 23 +++++- plugin.h | 2 + plugin/examples/log_v3.c | 188 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 389 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) create mode 100644 plugin/examples/log_v3.c -- 1.7.2.2
