3 SSL testcases are configured in the `ssl-tests` directory.
5 Each `ssl_*.conf.in` file contains a number of test configurations. These files
6 are used to generate testcases in the OpenSSL CONF format.
8 The precise test output can be dependent on the library configuration. The test
9 harness generates the output files on the fly.
11 However, for verification, we also include checked-in configuration outputs
12 corresponding to the default configuration. These testcases live in
13 `test/ssl-tests/*.conf` files. Therefore, whenever you're adding or updating a
14 generated test, you should run
19 $ TOP=.. perl -I testlib/ generate_ssl_tests.pl ssl-tests/my.conf.in \
23 where `my.conf.in` is your test input file.
25 For example, to generate the test cases in `ssl-tests/01-simple.conf.in`, do
28 $ TOP=.. perl generate_ssl_tests.pl ssl-tests/01-simple.conf.in > ssl-tests/01-simple.conf
31 For more details, see `ssl-tests/01-simple.conf.in` for an example.
33 ## Configuring the test
35 First, give your test a name. The names do not have to be unique.
37 An example test input looks like this:
41 name => "test-default",
42 server => { "CipherString" => "DEFAULT" },
43 client => { "CipherString" => "DEFAULT" },
44 test => { "ExpectedResult" => "Success" },
48 The test section supports the following options:
50 * ExpectedResult - expected handshake outcome. One of
51 - Success - handshake success
52 - ServerFail - serverside handshake failure
53 - ClientFail - clientside handshake failure
54 - InternalError - some other error
56 * ClientAlert, ServerAlert - expected alert. See `ssl_test_ctx.c` for known
59 * Protocol - expected negotiated protocol. One of
60 SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2.
62 * ClientVerifyCallback - the client's custom certificate verify callback.
63 Used to test callback behaviour. One of
64 - AcceptAll - accepts all certificates.
65 - RejectAll - rejects all certificates.
67 * Method - the method to test. One of DTLS or TLS.
69 * ServerName - the server the client should attempt to connect to. One of
70 - None - do not use SNI (default)
71 - server1 - the initial context
72 - server2 - the secondary context
74 * SessionTicketExpected - whether or not a session ticket is expected
75 - Ignore - do not check for a session ticket (default)
76 - Yes - a session ticket is expected
77 - No - a session ticket is not expected
78 - Broken - a special test case where the session ticket callback does not initialize crypto
80 ## Configuring the client and server
82 The client and server configurations can be any valid `SSL_CTX`
83 configurations. For details, see the manpages for `SSL_CONF_cmd`.
85 Give your configurations as a dictionary of CONF commands, e.g.
89 "CipherString" => "DEFAULT",
90 "MinProtocol" => "TLSv1",
94 A server2 section may optionally be defined to configure a secondary
95 context that is selected via the ServerName test option. If the server2
96 section is not configured, then the configuration matches server.
98 ### Default server and client configurations
100 The default server certificate and CA files are added to the configurations
101 automatically. Server certificate verification is requested by default.
103 You can override these options by redefining them:
107 "VerifyCAFile" => "/path/to/custom/file"
115 "VerifyCAFile" => undef
119 ## Adding a test to the test harness
121 Add your configuration file to `test/recipes/80-test_ssl_new.t`.
123 ## Running the tests with the test harness
126 HARNESS_VERBOSE=yes make TESTS=test_ssl_new test
129 ## Running a test manually
131 These steps are only needed during development. End users should run `make test`
132 or follow the instructions above to run the SSL test suite.
134 To run an SSL test manually from the command line, the `TEST_CERTS_DIR`
135 environment variable to point to the location of the certs. E.g., from the root
136 OpenSSL directory, do
139 $ TEST_CERTS_DIR=test/certs test/ssl_test test/ssl-tests/01-simple.conf
145 $ TEST_CERTS_DIR=test/certs util/shlib_wrap.sh test/ssl_test \
146 test/ssl-tests/01-simple.conf
149 Note that the test expectations sometimes depend on the Configure settings. For
150 example, the negotiated protocol depends on the set of available (enabled)
151 protocols: a build with `enable-ssl3` has different test expectations than a
152 build with `no-ssl3`.
154 The Perl test harness automatically generates expected outputs, so users who
155 just run `make test` do not need any extra steps.
157 However, when running a test manually, keep in mind that the repository version
158 of the generated `test/ssl-tests/*.conf` correspond to expected outputs in with
159 the default Configure options. To run `ssl_test` manually from the command line
160 in a build with a different configuration, you may need to generate the right
161 `*.conf` file from the `*.conf.in` input first.
