Re: [squid-users] stopping sslbump to domains with invalid or unsigned certs

According to the doc, sslproxy_flags only has only one other value
NO_DEFAULT_CA.
That doesn't seem of much use... it does recognise and refuse the
expired cert though:

2011/12/21 07:30:01.269| Self signed certificate:
/C=--/ST=SomeState/L=SomeCity/O=SomeOrganization/OU=SomeOrganizationalUnit/CN=localhost.localdomain/emailAddress=root_at_localhost.localdomain
2011/12/21 07:30:01.269| confirming SSL error 18
2011/12/21 07:30:01.269| fwdNegotiateSSL: Error negotiating SSL
connection on FD 29: error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
(1/-1/0)

But also refuses a well know bank:
Self signed certificate in certificate chain:
/1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.3=CH/2.5.4.15=Private
Organization/serialNumber=CH-020.3.906.075-9/C=CH/postalCode=8001/ST=Zuerich/L=Zuerich/streetAddress=Paradeplatz
8/O=Credit Suisse Group AG/CN=www.credit-suisse.com
2011/12/21 07:32:47.859| confirming SSL error 19

And amazon:
Unable to get local issuer certificate:
/C=US/ST=Washington/L=Seattle/O=Amazon.com Inc./CN=www.amazon.com

I had expected DONT_VERIFY_PEER to mean "dont verify peer if it is the
except acl".
Hmm.
Digging in the sources, in ssl/support.cc, there are more that two
constants defined (I had just looked at the docs so far..). There is
no actual VERIFY_PEER though.

Looking at the sources it seems necessary that
SSL_FLAG_DONT_VERIFY_PEER not be set if this is to be called:
SSL_CTX_set_verify(sslContext, SSL_VERIFY_PEER ...);

So, compiled the lastest HEAD and tried both VERIFY_CRL,
VERIFY_CRL_ALL which would presumably have done some additional CRL
checking, but the example sites above fail on that too:

Unable to get certificate CRL:
/C=US/ST=Washington/L=Seattle/O=Amazon.com Inc./CN=www.amazon.com

Which would look like its requires the existence of a CRL for each destination?
Tried setting capath to an empty directory, but it probably requires
some standard CRLs.

Squid pull its standard CA list from openssl (/etc/ssl/certs ?), but
should just accept empty crl lists if there are none? Setting
capath=/etc/ssl/certs and crlfile=/emptyfile does not help.

I muust still be missing something..

As regards The Measurement Factory, their website looks interesting,
but I dont see any relevant references. Is there a discussion or
ticket on what they are planning and how to contact them ? Should I
ask on squid-dev?

Thanks,

Sean
