Net::SSLGlue::LDAP - proper certificate checking for ldaps in Net::LDAP SYNOPSIS
use Net::SSLGlue::LDAP; local %Net::SSLGlue::LDAP = ( SSL_verifycn_name => $hostname_in_cert ); my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( $hostname, capath => ... ); $ldap->start_tls; DESCRIPTION
Net::SSLGlue::LDAP modifies Net::LDAP so that it does proper certificate checking using the "ldap" SSL_verify_scheme from IO::Socket::SSL. Because Net::LDAP does not have a mechanism to forward arbitrary parameters for the construction of the underlying socket these parameters can be set globally when including the package, or with local settings of the %Net::SSLGlue::LDAP::SSLopts variable. All of the "SSL_*" parameters from IO::Socket::SSL can be used; the following parameter is especially useful: SSL_verifycn_name Usually the name given as the hostname in the constructor is used to verify the identity of the certificate. If you want to check the certificate against another name you can specify it with this parameter. "SSL_ca_path", "SSL_ca_file" for IO::Socket::SSL can be set with the "capath" and "cafile" parameters of Net::LDAP::new and "SSL_verify_mode" can be set with "verify", but the meaning of the values differs ("none" is 0, e.g. disable certificate verification).

Net::SSLGlue::SMTP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SSLGlue::SMTP(3pm) NAME
Net::SSLGlue::SMTP - make Net::SMTP able to use SSL SYNOPSIS
use Net::SSLGlue::SMTP; my $smtp_ssl = Net::SMTP->new( $host, SSL => 1, SSL_ca_path => ... ); my $smtp_plain = Net::SMTP->new( $host ); $smtp_plain->starttls( SSL_ca_path => ... ); DESCRIPTION
Net::SSLGlue::SMTP extends Net::SMTP so one can either start directly with SSL or switch later to SSL using the STARTTLS command. By default it will take care to verify the certificate according to the rules for SMTP implemented in IO::Socket::SSL. METHODS
new The method "new" of Net::SMTP is now able to start directly with SSL when the argument "<SSL =" 1>> is given. In this case it will not create an IO::Socket::INET object but an IO::Socket::SSL object. One can give the usual "SSL_*" parameter of IO::Socket::SSL to "Net::SMTP::new". starttls If the connection is not yet SSLified it will issue the STARTTLS command and change the object, so that SSL will now be used. The usual "SSL_*" parameter of IO::Socket::SSL will be given. peer_certificate ... Once the SSL connection is established the object is derived from IO::Socket::SSL so that you can use this method to get information about the certificate. See the IO::Socket::SSL documentation. All of these methods can take the "SSL_*" parameter from IO::Socket::SSL to change the behavior of the SSL connection. The following parameters are especially useful: SSL_ca_path, SSL_ca_file Specifies the path or a file where the CAs used for checking the certificates are located. This is typically "etc/ssl/certs" on UNIX systems. SSL_verify_mode If set to 0, verification of the certificate will be disabled. By default it is set to 1 which means that the peer certificate is checked. SSL_verifycn_name Usually the name given as the hostname in the constructor is used to verify the identity of the certificate. If you want to check the certificate against another name you can specify it with this parameter. SEE ALSO
