## Detailed Description

TlsCertificate - TLS certificate.

A certificate used for TLS authentication and encryption. This can represent either a certificate only (eg, the certificate received by a client from a server), or the combination of a certificate and a private key (which is needed when acting as a TlsServerConnection).

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ create() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > Gio::TlsCertificate::create | ( | const std::string & | cert_file,
|  | const std::string & | key_file )
| static

Creates a TlsCertificate from the PEM-encoded data in cert_file and key_file.

The returned certificate will be the first certificate found in cert_file. As of GLib 2.44, if cert_file contains more certificates it will try to load a certificate chain. All certificates will be verified in the order found (top-level certificate should be the last one in the file) and the TlsCertificate::property_issuer() property of each certificate will be set accordingly if the verification succeeds. If any certificate in the chain cannot be verified, the first certificate in the file will still be returned.

If either file cannot be read or parsed, the function will return nullptr and set error. Otherwise, this behaves like g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem().

Since glibmm 2.28

Parameters

  cert_file | File containing one or more PEM-encoded certificates to import.
  key_file | File containing a PEM-encoded private key to import.

Returns
  The new certificate, or nullptr on error.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

## ◆ create() [2/2]

Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > Gio::TlsCertificate::create | ( | const std::string & | file | ) |
| static

Creates a TlsCertificate from the data in file.

As of 2.72, if the filename ends in .p12 or .pfx the data is loaded by g_tls_certificate_new_from_pkcs12() otherwise it is loaded by g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem(). See those functions for exact details.

If file cannot be read or parsed, the function will return nullptr and set error.

Since glibmm 2.28

Parameters

  file | File containing a certificate to import.

Returns
  The new certificate, or nullptr on error.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

## ◆ create_from_pem()

Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > Gio::TlsCertificate::create_from_pem | ( | const std::string & | data,
|  | gssize | length = -1 )
| static

Creates a TlsCertificate from the PEM-encoded data in data.

If data includes both a certificate and a private key, then the returned certificate will include the private key data as well. (See the TlsCertificate::property_private_key_pem() property for information about supported formats.)

The returned certificate will be the first certificate found in data. As of GLib 2.44, if data contains more certificates it will try to load a certificate chain. All certificates will be verified in the order found (top-level certificate should be the last one in the file) and the TlsCertificate::property_issuer() property of each certificate will be set accordingly if the verification succeeds. If any certificate in the chain cannot be verified, the first certificate in the file will still be returned.

Since glibmm 2.28

Parameters

  data | PEM-encoded certificate data.
  length | The length of data, or -1 if it's 0-terminated.

Returns
  The new certificate, or nullptr if data is invalid.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

## ◆ create_list_from_file()

std::vector< Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > > Gio::TlsCertificate::create_list_from_file | ( | const std::string & | file | ) |
| static

Creates one or more TlsCertificates from the PEM-encoded data in file.

If file cannot be read or parsed, the function will return nullptr and set error. If file does not contain any PEM-encoded certificates, this will return an empty list and not set error.

Since glibmm 2.28

Parameters

  file | File containing PEM-encoded certificates to import.

Returns
  A List containing TlsCertificate objects. You must free the list and its contents when you are done with it.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

## ◆ get_issuer() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > Gio::TlsCertificate::get_issuer | ( |  | ) |

bool Gio::TlsCertificate::is_same | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const TlsCertificate > & | cert_two | ) | const

Check if two TlsCertificate objects represent the same certificate.

The raw DER byte data of the two certificates are checked for equality. This has the effect that two certificates may compare equal even if their TlsCertificate::property_issuer(), TlsCertificate::property_private_key(), or TlsCertificate::property_private_key_pem() properties differ.

Since glibmm 2.34

Parameters

  cert_two | Second certificate to compare.

Returns
  Whether the same or not.

## ◆ operator=()

TlsCertificate & Gio::TlsCertificate::operator= | ( | TlsCertificate && | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ property_certificate()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< Glib::ByteArray > > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_certificate | ( |  | ) | const

The DER (binary) encoded representation of the certificate.

This property and the TlsCertificate::property_certificate_pem() property represent the same data, just in different forms.

Since glibmm 2.28

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_certificate_pem()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< std::string > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_certificate_pem | ( |  | ) | const

The PEM (ASCII) encoded representation of the certificate.

This property and the TlsCertificate::property_certificate() property represent the same data, just in different forms.

Since glibmm 2.28

Default value: ""

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_issuer()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< TlsCertificate > > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_issuer | ( |  | ) | const

A TlsCertificate representing the entity that issued this certificate.

If nullptr, this means that the certificate is either self-signed, or else the certificate of the issuer is not available.

Beware the issuer certificate 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. Accordingly, this property cannot be used to make security-related decisions. Only GLib itself should make security decisions about TLS certificates.

Since glibmm 2.28

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_issuer_name()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_issuer_name | ( |  | ) | const

The issuer from the certificate, nullptr if unavailable.

Since glibmm 2.70

Default value: ""

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_not_valid_after()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::DateTime > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_not_valid_after | ( |  | ) | const

The time at which this cert is no longer valid, nullptr if unavailable.

Since glibmm 2.70

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_not_valid_before()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::DateTime > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_not_valid_before | ( |  | ) | const

The time at which this cert is considered to be valid, nullptr if unavailable.

Since glibmm 2.70

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_pkcs11_uri()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< std::string > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_pkcs11_uri | ( |  | ) | const

A URI referencing the PKCS \#11 objects containing an X.509 certificate and optionally a private key.

If nullptr, the certificate is either not backed by PKCS \#11 or the TlsBackend does not support PKCS \#11.

Since glibmm 2.72

Default value: ""

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_private_key()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< Glib::ByteArray > > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_private_key | ( |  | ) | const

The DER (binary) encoded representation of the certificate's private key, in either PKCS \#1 format or unencrypted PKCS \#8 format.

PKCS \#8 format is supported since 2.32; earlier releases only support PKCS \#1. You can use the openssl rsa tool to convert PKCS \#8 keys to PKCS \#1.

This property (or the TlsCertificate::property_private_key_pem() property) can be set when constructing a key (for example, from a file). Since GLib 2.70, it is now also readable; however, be aware that if the private key is backed by a PKCS \#11 URI – for example, if it is stored on a smartcard – then this property will be nullptr. If so, the private key must be referenced via its PKCS \#11 URI, TlsCertificate::property_private_key_pkcs11_uri(). You must check both properties to see if the certificate really has a private key. When this property is read, the output format will be unencrypted PKCS \#8.

Since glibmm 2.72

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_private_key_pem()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< std::string > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_private_key_pem | ( |  | ) | const

The PEM (ASCII) encoded representation of the certificate's private key in either PKCS \#1 format ("`BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY`") or unencrypted PKCS \#8 format ("`BEGIN PRIVATE KEY`").

PKCS \#8 format is supported since 2.32; earlier releases only support PKCS \#1. You can use the openssl rsa tool to convert PKCS \#8 keys to PKCS \#1.

This property (or the TlsCertificate::property_private_key() property) can be set when constructing a key (for example, from a file). Since GLib 2.70, it is now also readable; however, be aware that if the private key is backed by a PKCS \#11 URI - for example, if it is stored on a smartcard - then this property will be nullptr. If so, the private key must be referenced via its PKCS \#11 URI, TlsCertificate::property_private_key_pkcs11_uri(). You must check both properties to see if the certificate really has a private key. When this property is read, the output format will be unencrypted PKCS \#8.

Since glibmm 2.72

Default value: ""

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_private_key_pkcs11_uri()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< std::string > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_private_key_pkcs11_uri | ( |  | ) | const

A URI referencing a PKCS \#11 object containing a private key.

Since glibmm 2.72

Default value: ""

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_subject_name()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gio::TlsCertificate::property_subject_name | ( |  | ) | const

The subject from the cert, nullptr if unavailable.

Since glibmm 2.70

Default value: ""

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ verify() [1/4]

TlsCertificateFlags Gio::TlsCertificate::verify | ( |  | ) | const

A verify() convenience overload.

## ◆ verify() [2/4]

TlsCertificateFlags Gio::TlsCertificate::verify | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const SocketConnectable > & | identity | ) | const

A verify() convenience overload.

## ◆ verify() [3/4]

TlsCertificateFlags Gio::TlsCertificate::verify | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const SocketConnectable > & | identity,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< const TlsCertificate > & | trusted_ca ) const

This verifies cert and returns a set of TlsCertificateFlags indicating any problems found with it.

This can be used to verify a certificate outside the context of making a connection, or to check a certificate against a CA that is not part of the system CA database.

If cert is valid, Gio::TlsCertificateFlags::NO_FLAGS is returned.

If identity is not nullptr, cert's name(s) will be compared against it, and Gio::TlsCertificateFlags::BAD_IDENTITY will be set in the return value if it does not match. If identity is nullptr, that bit will never be set in the return value.

If trusted_ca is not nullptr, then cert (or one of the certificates in its chain) must be signed by it, or else Gio::TlsCertificateFlags::UNKNOWN_CA will be set in the return value. If trusted_ca is nullptr, that bit will never be set in the return value.

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 Gio::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.

Because TLS session context is not used, TlsCertificate may not perform as many checks on the certificates as TlsConnection 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 TlsConnection handle the verification.

Since glibmm 2.28

Parameters

  identity | The expected peer identity.
  trusted_ca | The certificate of a trusted authority.

Returns
  The appropriate TlsCertificateFlags.

## ◆ verify() [4/4]

TlsCertificateFlags Gio::TlsCertificate::verify | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const TlsCertificate > & | trusted_ca | ) | const

A verify() convenience overload.

## ◆ verify_vfunc()
