Rafael H. Schloming commented on PROTON-181:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks for detailing the scenarios. I agree they aren't a big deal, especially
in light of the option to add overrides in the future.
> SSL layer - deprecate old per-connection credentials API, introduce new
> top-level configuration domain
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PROTON-181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-181
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: proton-c, proton-j
> Affects Versions: 0.2
> Reporter: Ken Giusti
> Assignee: Ken Giusti
> Fix For: 0.3
>
>
> In the first two releases of the SSL layer, the model only provided a
> per-connection object (pn_ssl_t). Thus, all configuration had to be applied
> each time an SSL connection was created.
> As new capabilities were added to SSL, this model has proven to be
> inadequate.
> With session resume, a new top-level object was introduced: pn_ssl_domain_t.
> This object becomes a "factory" for pn_ssl_t connections. Common
> configuration, such as credentials and CA database, are configured at the
> pn_ssl_domain_t level, and are adopted by each connection (pn_ssl_t) that is
> created.
> This model not only reduces the configuration actions need by the app, but
> results in a cleaner SSL implementation since the underlying SSL libraries
> (OpenSSL and Java's SSL) use a very similar model.
> More detail of the new api can be seen in PROTON-136.
> The problem now become support of the old api. Behavior becomes a bit vague
> if we allow credential, etc, configuration on both the domain and the ssl
> connection. Given the brief exposure of the existing api, we'd like to drop
> support for the following existing SSL API methods:
> pn_ssl() - constructor
> pn_ssl_init()
> pn_ssl_set_credentials()
> pn_ssl_set_trusted_ca_db()
> The corresponding functionality would instead be available via the
> domain-based api.
