1# SSL tests
2
3SSL testcases are configured in the `ssl-tests` directory.
4
5Each `ssl_*.conf.in` file contains a number of test configurations. These files
6are used to generate testcases in the OpenSSL CONF format.
7
8The precise test output can be dependent on the library configuration. The test
9harness generates the output files on the fly.
10
11However, for verification, we also include checked-in configuration outputs
12corresponding to the default configuration. These testcases live in
15269e56 13`test/ssl-tests/*.conf` files.

15For more details, see `ssl-tests/01-simple.conf.in` for an example.
16
17## Configuring the test
18
19First, give your test a name. The names do not have to be unique.
20
21An example test input looks like this:
22
23```
24 {
25 name => "test-default",
26 server => { "CipherString" => "DEFAULT" },
27 client => { "CipherString" => "DEFAULT" },
28 test => { "ExpectedResult" => "Success" },
29 }
30```
31

32The test section supports the following options
33
34### Test mode
35
36* Method - the method to test. One of DTLS or TLS.
37
38* HandshakeMode - which handshake flavour to test:
39 - Simple - plain handshake (default)
40 - Resume - test resumption
fe7dd553
MC
41 - RenegotiateServer - test server initiated renegotiation
42 - RenegotiateClient - test client initiated renegotiation
9f48bbac
EK
43
44When HandshakeMode is Resume or Renegotiate, the original handshake is expected
45to succeed. All configured test expectations are verified against the second
46handshake.
47
6dc99745
EK
48* ApplicationData - amount of application data bytes to send (integer, defaults
49 to 256 bytes). Applies to both client and server. Application data is sent in
50 64kB chunks (but limited by MaxFragmentSize and available parallelization, see
51 below).
52
53* MaxFragmentSize - maximum send fragment size (integer, defaults to 512 in
54 tests - see `SSL_CTX_set_max_send_fragment` for documentation). Applies to
55 both client and server. Lowering the fragment size will split handshake and
56 application data up between more `SSL_write` calls, thus allowing to exercise
57 different code paths. In particular, if the buffer size (64kB) is at least
58 four times as large as the maximum fragment, interleaved multi-buffer crypto
59 implementations may be used on some platforms.
60
9f48bbac 61### Test expectations
453dfd8d
EK
62
63* ExpectedResult - expected handshake outcome. One of
64 - Success - handshake success
65 - ServerFail - serverside handshake failure
66 - ClientFail - clientside handshake failure
67 - InternalError - some other error
68
9f48bbac 69* ExpectedClientAlert, ExpectedServerAlert - expected alert. See
dd8e5a57
EK
70 `ssl_test_ctx.c` for known values. Note: the expected alert is currently
71 matched against the _last_ received alert (i.e., a fatal alert or a
72 `close_notify`). Warning alert expectations are not yet supported. (A warning
73 alert will not be correctly matched, if followed by a `close_notify` or
74 another alert.)
453dfd8d 75
9f48bbac 76* ExpectedProtocol - expected negotiated protocol. One of
453dfd8d
EK
77 SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2.
78
5c753de6
TS
79* SessionTicketExpected - whether or not a session ticket is expected
80 - Ignore - do not check for a session ticket (default)
81 - Yes - a session ticket is expected
82 - No - a session ticket is not expected
590ed3d7
EK
83
84* ResumptionExpected - whether or not resumption is expected (Resume mode only)
85 - Yes - resumed handshake
86 - No - full handshake (default)
87
9f48bbac 88* ExpectedNPNProtocol, ExpectedALPNProtocol - NPN and ALPN expectations.
ce2cdac2 89
b93ad05d
DSH
90* ExpectedTmpKeyType - the expected algorithm or curve of server temp key
91
7289ab49 92* ExpectedServerCertType, ExpectedClientCertType - the expected algorithm or
7f5f35af
DSH
93 curve of server or client certificate
94
54b7f2a5 95* ExpectedServerSignHash, ExpectedClientSignHash - the expected
ee5b6a42
DSH
96 signing hash used by server or client certificate
97
54b7f2a5
DSH
98* ExpectedServerSignType, ExpectedClientSignType - the expected
99 signature type used by server or client when signing messages
100

EK
101## Configuring the client and server
102
103The client and server configurations can be any valid `SSL_CTX`
104configurations. For details, see the manpages for `SSL_CONF_cmd`.
105
106Give your configurations as a dictionary of CONF commands, e.g.
107
108```
109server => {
110 "CipherString" => "DEFAULT",
111 "MinProtocol" => "TLSv1",
112}
113```
114
590ed3d7
EK
115The following sections may optionally be defined:
116
117* server2 - this section configures a secondary context that is selected via the
118 ServerName test option. This context is used whenever a ServerNameCallback is
119 specified. If the server2 section is not present, then the configuration
120 matches server.
121* resume_server - this section configures the client to resume its session
122 against a different server. This context is used whenever HandshakeMode is
11279b13 123 Resume. If the resume_server section is not present, then the configuration
590ed3d7 124 matches server.
11279b13
EK
125* resume_client - this section configures the client to resume its session with
126 a different configuration. In practice this may occur when, for example,
127 upgraded clients reuse sessions persisted on disk. This context is used
128 whenever HandshakeMode is Resume. If the resume_client section is not present,
129 then the configuration matches client.
5c753de6 130
9f48bbac
EK
131### Configuring callbacks and additional options
132
133Additional handshake settings can be configured in the `extra` section of each
134client and server:
135
136```
137client => {
138 "CipherString" => "DEFAULT",
139 extra => {
140 "ServerName" => "server2",
141 }
142}
143```
144
145#### Supported client-side options
146
147* ClientVerifyCallback - the client's custom certificate verify callback.
148 Used to test callback behaviour. One of
149 - None - no custom callback (default)
150 - AcceptAll - accepts all certificates.
151 - RejectAll - rejects all certificates.
152
153* ServerName - the server the client should attempt to connect to. One of
154 - None - do not use SNI (default)
155 - server1 - the initial context
156 - server2 - the secondary context
157 - invalid - an unknown context
158
da085d27
EK
159* CTValidation - Certificate Transparency validation strategy. One of
160 - None - no validation (default)
161 - Permissive - SSL_CT_VALIDATION_PERMISSIVE
162 - Strict - SSL_CT_VALIDATION_STRICT
163
9f48bbac
EK
164#### Supported server-side options
165
166* ServerNameCallback - the SNI switching callback to use
167 - None - no callback (default)
168 - IgnoreMismatch - continue the handshake on SNI mismatch
169 - RejectMismatch - abort the handshake on SNI mismatch
170
171* BrokenSessionTicket - a special test case where the session ticket callback
172 does not initialize crypto.
173 - No (default)
174 - Yes
175
176#### Mutually supported options
177
178* NPNProtocols, ALPNProtocols - NPN and ALPN settings. Server and client
179 protocols can be specified as a comma-separated list, and a callback with the
180 recommended behaviour will be installed automatically.
181
453dfd8d
EK
182### Default server and client configurations
183
184The default server certificate and CA files are added to the configurations
185automatically. Server certificate verification is requested by default.
186
187You can override these options by redefining them:
188
189```
190client => {
191 "VerifyCAFile" => "/path/to/custom/file"
192}
193```
194
195or by deleting them
196
197```
198client => {
199 "VerifyCAFile" => undef
200}
201```
202
203## Adding a test to the test harness
204
15269e56
EK
2051. Add a new test configuration to `test/ssl-tests`, following the examples of
206 existing `*.conf.in` files (for example, `01-simple.conf.in`).
207
2082. Generate the generated `*.conf` test input file. You can do so by running
209 `generate_ssl_tests.pl`:
210
211```
212$ ./config
213$ cd test
214$ TOP=.. perl -I testlib/ generate_ssl_tests.pl ssl-tests/my.conf.in \
215 > ssl-tests/my.conf
216```
217
218where `my.conf.in` is your test input file.
219
220For example, to generate the test cases in `ssl-tests/01-simple.conf.in`, do
221
222```
223$ TOP=.. perl -I testlib/ generate_ssl_tests.pl ssl-tests/01-simple.conf.in > ssl-tests/01-simple.conf
224```
225
226Alternatively (hackish but simple), you can comment out
227
228```
229unlink glob $tmp_file;
230```
231
232in `test/recipes/80-test_ssl_new.t` and run
233
234```
235$ make TESTS=test_ssl_new test
236```
237
238This will save the generated output in a `*.tmp` file in the build directory.
239
2403. Update the number of tests planned in `test/recipes/80-test_ssl_new.t`. If
241 the test suite has any skip conditions, update those too (see
242 `test/recipes/80-test_ssl_new.t` for details).
453dfd8d
EK
243
244## Running the tests with the test harness
245
246```
247HARNESS_VERBOSE=yes make TESTS=test_ssl_new test
248```
249
250## Running a test manually
251
252These steps are only needed during development. End users should run `make test`
253or follow the instructions above to run the SSL test suite.
254
255To run an SSL test manually from the command line, the `TEST_CERTS_DIR`
256environment variable to point to the location of the certs. E.g., from the root
257OpenSSL directory, do
258
259```
1329b952
MC
260$ CTLOG_FILE=test/ct/log_list.conf TEST_CERTS_DIR=test/certs test/ssl_test \
261 test/ssl-tests/01-simple.conf
453dfd8d
EK
262```
263
264or for shared builds
265
266```
1329b952
MC
267$ CTLOG_FILE=test/ct/log_list.conf TEST_CERTS_DIR=test/certs \
268 util/shlib_wrap.sh test/ssl_test test/ssl-tests/01-simple.conf
453dfd8d
EK
269```
270
271Note that the test expectations sometimes depend on the Configure settings. For
272example, the negotiated protocol depends on the set of available (enabled)
273protocols: a build with `enable-ssl3` has different test expectations than a
274build with `no-ssl3`.
275
276The Perl test harness automatically generates expected outputs, so users who
277just run `make test` do not need any extra steps.
278
279However, when running a test manually, keep in mind that the repository version
280of the generated `test/ssl-tests/*.conf` correspond to expected outputs in with
281the default Configure options. To run `ssl_test` manually from the command line
282in a build with a different configuration, you may need to generate the right
283`*.conf` file from the `*.conf.in` input first.
