@Generated("org.javagi.JavaGI") public abstract class TlsDatabase extends GObject

GTlsDatabase is used to look up certificates and other information from a certificate or key store. It is an abstract base class which TLS library specific subtypes override.

A GTlsDatabase may be accessed from multiple threads by the TLS backend. All implementations are required to be fully thread-safe.

Most common client applications will not directly interact with GTlsDatabase. It is used internally by TlsConnection.

  • Constructor Details

    • TlsDatabase

      public TlsDatabase(MemorySegment address)
      Create a TlsDatabase instance for the provided memory address.
      Parameters:
      address - the memory address of the native object

    • TlsDatabase

      public TlsDatabase()
      Create a new TlsDatabase.

  • Method Details

    • getType

      public static @Nullable Type getType()
      Get the GType of the TlsDatabase class.
      Returns:
      the GType

    • getMemoryLayout

      public static MemoryLayout getMemoryLayout()
      The memory layout of the native struct.
      Returns:
      the memory layout

    • asParent

      protected TlsDatabase asParent()
      Return this instance as if it were its parent type. Comparable to the Java super keyword, but ensures the parent typeclass is also used in native code.
      Overrides:
      asParent in class GObject
      Returns:
      the instance as if it were its parent type

    • createCertificateHandle

      public @Nullable String createCertificateHandle(TlsCertificate certificate)

      Create a handle string for the certificate. The database will only be able to create a handle for certificates that originate from the database. In cases where the database cannot create a handle for a certificate, null will be returned.

      This handle should be stable across various instances of the application, and between applications. If a certificate is modified in the database, then it is not guaranteed that this handle will continue to point to it.

      Parameters:
      certificate - certificate for which to create a handle.
      Returns:
      a newly allocated string containing the handle.
      Since:
      2.30

    • lookupCertificateForHandle

      public @Nullable TlsCertificate lookupCertificateForHandle(String handle_, @Nullable TlsInteraction interaction, Set<TlsDatabaseLookupFlags> flags, @Nullable Cancellable cancellable) throws GErrorException

      Look up a certificate by its handle.

      The handle should have been created by calling g_tls_database_create_certificate_handle() on a GTlsDatabase object of the same TLS backend. The handle is designed to remain valid across instantiations of the database.

      If the handle is no longer valid, or does not point to a certificate in this database, then null will be returned.

      Parameters:
      handle_ - a certificate handle
      interaction - used to interact with the user if necessary
      flags - Flags which affect the lookup.
      cancellable - a GCancellable, or null
      Returns:
      a newly allocated GTlsCertificate, or null. Use g_object_unref() to release the certificate.
      Throws:
      GErrorException - see GError

    • lookupCertificateIssuer

      public TlsCertificate lookupCertificateIssuer(TlsCertificate certificate, @Nullable TlsInteraction interaction, Set<TlsDatabaseLookupFlags> flags, @Nullable Cancellable cancellable) throws GErrorException

      Look up the issuer of certificate in the database. The GTlsCertificate:issuer property of certificate is not modified, and the two certificates are not hooked into a chain.

      This function can block. Use g_tls_database_lookup_certificate_issuer_async() to perform the lookup operation asynchronously.

      Beware this function cannot be used to build certification paths. The issuer certificate returned by this function may not be the same as the certificate that would actually be used to construct a valid certification path during certificate verification. RFC 4158 explains why an issuer certificate cannot be naively assumed to be part of the the certification path (though GLib's TLS backends may not follow the path building strategies outlined in this RFC). Due to the complexity of certification path building, GLib does not provide any way to know which certification path will actually be used when verifying a TLS certificate. Accordingly, this function cannot be used to make security-related decisions. Only GLib itself should make security decisions about TLS certificates.

      Parameters:
      certificate - a GTlsCertificate
      interaction - used to interact with the user if necessary
      flags - flags which affect the lookup operation
      cancellable - a GCancellable, or null
      Returns:
      a newly allocated issuer GTlsCertificate, or null. Use g_object_unref() to release the certificate.

    • verifyChain

      public Set<TlsCertificateFlags> verifyChain(TlsCertificate chain, String purpose, @Nullable SocketConnectable identity, @Nullable TlsInteraction interaction, Set<TlsDatabaseVerifyFlags> flags, @Nullable Cancellable cancellable) throws GErrorException

      Determines the validity of a certificate chain, outside the context of a TLS session.

      chain is a chain of GTlsCertificate objects each pointing to the next certificate in the chain by its GTlsCertificate:issuer property.

      purpose describes the purpose (or usage) for which the certificate is being used. Typically purpose will be set to G_TLS_DATABASE_PURPOSE_AUTHENTICATE_SERVER which means that the certificate is being used to authenticate a server (and we are acting as the client).

      The identity is used to ensure the server certificate is valid for the expected peer identity. If the identity does not match the certificate, TlsCertificateFlags.BAD_IDENTITY will be set in the return value. If identity is null, that bit will never be set in the return value. The peer identity may also be used to check for pinned certificates (trust exceptions) in the database. These may override the normal verification process on a host-by-host basis.

      Currently there are no flags, and TlsDatabaseVerifyFlags.NONE should be used.

      If chain is found to be valid, then the return value will be 0. If chain is found to be invalid, then the return value will indicate at least one problem found. If the function is unable to determine whether chain is valid (for example, because cancellable is triggered before it completes) then the return value will be TlsCertificateFlags.GENERIC_ERROR and error will be set accordingly. error is not set when chain is successfully analyzed but found to be invalid.

      GLib guarantees that if certificate verification fails, at least one error will be set in the return value, but it does not guarantee that all possible errors will be set. Accordingly, you may not safely decide to ignore any particular type of error. For example, it would be incorrect to mask TlsCertificateFlags.EXPIRED if you want to allow expired certificates, because this could potentially be the only error flag set even if other problems exist with the certificate.

      Prior to GLib 2.48, GLib's default TLS backend modified chain to represent the certification path built by GTlsDatabase during certificate verification by adjusting the GTlsCertificate:issuer property of each certificate in chain. Since GLib 2.48, this no longer occurs, so you cannot rely on GTlsCertificate:issuer to represent the actual certification path used during certificate verification.

      Because TLS session context is not used, GTlsDatabase may not perform as many checks on the certificates as GTlsConnection would. For example, certificate constraints may not be honored, and revocation checks may not be performed. The best way to verify TLS certificates used by a TLS connection is to let GTlsConnection handle the verification.

      The TLS backend may attempt to look up and add missing certificates to the chain. This may involve HTTP requests to download missing certificates.

      This function can block. Use g_tls_database_verify_chain_async() to perform the verification operation asynchronously.

      Parameters:
      chain - a GTlsCertificate chain
      purpose - the purpose that this certificate chain will be used for.
      identity - the expected peer identity
      interaction - used to interact with the user if necessary
      flags - additional verify flags
      cancellable - a GCancellable, or null
      Returns:
      the appropriate GTlsCertificateFlags which represents the result of verification.
      Throws:
      GErrorException - see GError

      2.30
