(Constructor)
| source code
|
For client authentication, use one of these argument combinations:
-
username, password (SRP)
-
certChain, privateKey (certificate)
For server authentication, you can either rely on the implicit mutual
authentication performed by SRP, or you can do certificate-based server
authentication with one of these argument combinations:
Certificate-based server authentication is compatible with SRP or
certificate-based client authentication.
The constructor does not perform the TLS handshake itself, but simply
stores these arguments for later. The handshake is performed only when
this class needs to connect with the server. Then you should be prepared
to handle TLS-specific exceptions. See the client handshake functions in
tlslite.TLSConnection.TLSConnection for details on which
exceptions might be raised.
- Parameters:
username (str) - SRP username. Requires the 'password' argument.
password (str) - SRP password for mutual authentication. Requires the 'username'
argument.
certChain (tlslite.x509certchain.X509CertChain) - Certificate chain for client authentication. Requires the
'privateKey' argument. Excludes the SRP arguments.
privateKey (tlslite.utils.rsakey.RSAKey) - Private key for client authentication. Requires the 'certChain'
argument. Excludes the SRP arguments.
checker (tlslite.checker.Checker) - Callable object called after handshaking to evaluate the
connection and raise an Exception if necessary.
settings (tlslite.handshakesettings.HandshakeSettings) - Various settings which can be used to control the ciphersuites,
certificate types, and SSL/TLS versions offered by the client.
- Overrides:
