I'd like to know if this example is enough to provide certificate pinning with libcurl:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/cacertinmem.html
because I have found that curl also allows http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY.html
Since I'll be using a self-signed certificate and only trust on it I don't know if it's truly necessary to pinn it too.
resume: Can the connection be compromised if I only add my certificate (self-signed) to the x509 certificate store like the example? do I need to add extra checks? do I need to use the CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY option?
Thanks.
You can find another example in the implementation of the new curl option in git 2.8 (March 2016):
See commit aeff8a6 (15 Feb 2016) by Christoph Egger (siccegge).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit e79112d, 24 Feb 2016)
http: implement public key pinning
Add the http.pinnedpubkey configuration option for public key pinning. It allows any string supported by libcurl -- base64(sha256(pubkey)) or filename of the full public key.
If cURL does not support pinning (is too old) output a warning to the user.
The git config man page mentions:
http.pinnedpubkey:
Public key of the https service.
It may either be the filename of a PEM or DER encoded public key file or a string starting with 'sha256//' followed by the base64 encoded sha256 hash of the public key.
See also libcurl 'CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY'.
git will exit with an error if this option is set but not supported by cURL.
With Git 2.34 (Q4 2021), HTTPS error handling is updated when it comes to SSL certificate pinning:
See commit 3e8084f (24 Sep 2021) by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (avar).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 97492aa, 11 Oct 2021)
http: check CURLE_SSL_PINNEDPUBKEYNOTMATCH when emitting errors
Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the error shown when a http.pinnedPubKey doesn't match to point the http.pinnedPubKey variable added in aeff8a6 ("http: implement public key pinning", 2016-02-15, Git v2.8.0-rc0 -- merge listed in batch #8), e.g.:
git -c http.pinnedPubKey=sha256/someNonMatchingKey ls-remote https://github.com/git/git.git
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/git/git.git/' with http.pinnedPubkey configuration: SSL: public key does not match pinned public key!
Before this we'd emit the exact same thing without the " with http.pinnedPubkey configuration".
The advantage of doing this is that we're going to get a translated message (everything after the ":" is hardcoded in English in libcurl), and we've got a reference to the git-specific configuration variable that is causing the error.
Unfortunately we can't test this easily, as there are no tests that require https:// in the test suite, and t/lib-httpd.sh doesn't know how to set up such tests.
See this thread for the start of a discussion about what it would take to have divergent "t/lib-httpd/apache.conf" test setups.

I desperately need some help on 2 questions:
I'm trying to connect a LILYGO TTGO T-Call SIM800L (IP5306 20190610) to AWS IoT, which requires an SSL authentication through a Root Certificate, a Client Certificate and a Private Key.
I'm able to successfully create the .crt files, write on them and set the Client Certificate through the AT Command:
modem.sendAT(GF("+SSLSETCERT=C:\User\clientcert.crt"));
But when I try to set the RootCA like this:
modem.sendAT(GF("+SSLSETROOT=C:\User\rootca.crt,1188"));
the GSM module returns "ERROR".
This is the documentation I'm using as a reference (Page 13):
https://microchip.ua/simcom/2G/Application%20Notes/SIM800%20Series_SSL_Application%20Note_V1.05.pdf
In the "Reference" section of the command "AT+SSLSETROOT", it's written "The files to be imported must be binary encoded". This confused me a little, so at first I simply wrote on the file the string format of the certificate, but I've also tried to change the extension to .der (which technically is the binary encoded format for certificates). I've tried to write on the file the hexdump version of the string format, and tried all the other avaiable extensions (.crt, .cer, .pem, .p12).
I've also tried to update the firmware following the procedure here: https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-T-Call-SIM800/blob/master/doc/How%20to%20update%20firmware.md
The only difference is that I used the Download Tool v1.10, because the other versions of the tool hanged on "Waiting" whenever I started the update. I retrieved it from here: https://simcom.ee/documents/?dir=SIM800x
I saw on other discussions that the SIM800L does not support TLS 1.2, but on page 6 of the SIM800 documentation regarding SSL, it's reported that "SIM800 series support SSL2.0, SSL3.0, TLS1.0 and TLS1.2."
On top of that, the command "AT+CIPSSL=1" works fine since it returns "OK".
I also read this: https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/issues/29#issuecomment-328802556
I'm attaching the function that sets up the certificates.
void setCertificates() {
modem.getModemInfo();
modem.sendAT(GF("+FSCREATE=C:\\User\\rootca.crt"));
modem.waitResponse();
modem.sendAT(GF("+FSCREATE=C:\\User\\clientcert.crt"));
modem.waitResponse();
char rootcertific[1188];
strcpy(rootcertific,rootCA);
modem.sendAT(GF("+FSWRITE=C:\\User\\rootca.crt,0,1188,1"));
modem.waitResponse(">");
SerialAT.print(rootcertific);
modem.waitResponse();
delay(1000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
char clientcertific[2903];
strcpy(clientcertific,certificate_pem_crt);
modem.sendAT(GF("+FSWRITE=C:\\User\\clientcert.crt,0,2900,2"));
modem.waitResponse(">");
Serial1.print(strcat(clientcertific,private_pem_key));
modem.waitResponse();
delay(1000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
modem.sendAT(GF("+FSREAD=C:\\User\\rootca.crt,0,1188,1"));
modem.waitResponse();
modem.waitResponse();
modem.sendAT(GF("+FSREAD=C:\\User\\clientcert.crt,0,2900,1"));
modem.waitResponse();
modem.waitResponse();
modem.sendAT(GF("+SSLSETROOT=C:\\User\\rootca.crt,1188"));
modem.waitResponse();
modem.sendAT(GF("+SSLSETCERT=C:\\User\\clientcert.crt"));
modem.waitResponse();
}
On page 11 of the SIM800 SSL documentation, the command AT+SSLSETCERT is described as "Client Client Certificate File with Private Key". Does this mean that I somehow have to write both the Client Cert and the Private Key on the same file?
As you might have noticed in the function, I used "strcat(clientcertific,private_pem_key)" and it returns no error, but I'm not sure whether this is the correct way to do this.
If anyone can help me out on this one I'd be infinitely grateful. It's been keeping me stuck for almost a month now.
Thank you!
I am attempting to upgrade EJBCA.
I attempted to run this on ubuntu 20.04, locally, using wildfly 18. Wildfly 18 results in this error: "CAUSE: Client certificate or OAuth bearer token required."
I have tried this two ways, by importing the keystore, truststore and superadmin from another instance and by creating the CA fresh and using the resulting superadmin.p12.
The home page loads, but the administration gives me the following error:
"AUTHORIZATIONDENIED
CAUSE: Client certificate or OAuth bearer token required. "
I can really use some help with this.
Things I have tried:
(1) I have downloaded superadmin.p12 and imported it into my browsers
(2) I have attempted to upload the superdmin cert:
bin/ejbca.sh ca importcacert ${NAME} ${NAME}.cacert.pem -initauthorization -superadmincn SuperAdmin
This results in The CA certificate is already imported.
(3) Both my keystore.jks and truststore.jks are moved into /ejbca/p12 and /opt/wildfly/standalone/configuration/keystore
(4) I did set "web.reqcertindb=false"
(6) I did try to enable ssl on wildfly 14 (https://docs.bitnami.com/bch/infrastructure/wildfly/administration/enable-ssl-wildfly/)
(7) I have tried a fresh Management_CA as well
The log of /ejbca/adminweb:
"08:20:01,270 ERROR [org.ejbca.ui.web.admin.configuration.EjbcaJSFHelperImpl] (default task-4) org.cesecore.authentication.AuthenticationFailedException: Client certificate or OAuth bearer token required.

I can provide more information if needs be.
Thank you
So, I have it running today. Here is what I learned:
It seems that if you set wildfly up as a service (per instructions) it is going to set up wildfly to run with launch.sh. Launch.sh is going to result in a cipher mistmatch. I needed to run the standalone.sh file instead
Adminweb must be contacted on 8443
if you need to run this thing on domain setup your going to need to post another question
Best,
I have been learning with WebSocket++ and built some of the server examples (Windows 10 Visual Studio 2019). The non-TLS examples work without issues, however, the TLS-enabled examples (echo_server_both.cpp and echo_server_tls.cpp) can't do the handshake. I am very new to web development in general so I know I must be doing something wrong with regards to the certificate and keys.
I am testing the servers with WebSocket King client, an extension of Google Chrome that connects correctly to other websocket servers like wss://echo.websocket.org and to my own localhost when I don't use TLS.
The echo_server_both example comes with a server.pem file, and the echo_server_tls example comes with server.pem and dh.pem. I have used the same files that come with the samples, and I have also tried generating and registering my own .pem files using openSSL. In both cases I get this when the client tries to connect:
[2021-06-29 20:51:21] [error] handle_transport_init received error: sslv3 alert certificate unknown
[2021-06-29 20:51:21] [fail] WebSocket Connection [::1]:63346 - "" - 0 asio.ssl:336151574 sslv3 alert certificate unknown
[2021-06-29 20:51:21] [info] asio async_shutdown error: asio.ssl:336462231 (shutdown while in init)
I discovered these errors after I edited handle_init() in tls.hpp, following a suggestion in another site, to look like this:
void handle_init(init_handler callback,lib::asio::error_code const & ec) {
if (ec) {
//m_ec = socket::make_error_code(socket::error::tls_handshake_failed);
m_ec = ec;
} else {
m_ec = lib::error_code();
}
callback(m_ec);
}
This change let the actual openSSL error to show in the console, otherwise it would show a generic "handshake failed" error.
I know I'm not doing what I should with the certificates, but I have no idea where else to look or what to do next. Can anyone here help please? Should I use the .pem files that come with the examples, or should I generate my own? in case I should generate my own, what would be the openSSL command to do that correctly and how do I tell my PC to recognize these as valid so that the server works?
Found the problem: WebSocket++ will not accept a self-signed certificate (the ones you can create directly in your own PC using OpenSSL or the Windows utilities). There is no way around it. You must have a valid, authority-validated and endorsed certificate. You can get such a certificate for free (valid only for 90 days) from https://zerossl.com/. The site has detailed instructions on how to request, obtain and install a certificate. After getting a valid certificate and installing it on my server, everything worked as it should.
I was using Ansible 2.4 and included the letsencrypt module in one of my roles hoping to get a complete `.pem' format file at the end (key, chain, cert). There was no problem generating the key or using the csr to request the new cert, and no problem with the challenge, but when everything was done, I was only getting the certificate back, no chain.
When I tried to use them, Apache would fail to start saying that the key and the cert did not match. I assumed that this was because I didn't include the chain which was missing.
According to the docs here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/acme_certificate_module.html the chain|chain_dest and fullchain|fullchain_dest parameters weren't added until Ansible 2.5. So I upgraded to Ansible 2.7 (via git), and I'm still running into the exact same error...
FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "
Unsupported parameters for (letsencrypt) module: chain_dest, fullchain_dest
Supported parameters include: account_email, account_key, acme_directory, agreement,
challenge, csr, data, dest, remaining_days"
}
I've tried the aliases and current names for both but nothing is working. Here is my current challenge-response call:
- name: Let the challenge be validated and retrieve the cert and intermediate certificate
letsencrypt:
account_key: /etc/ssl/lets_encrypt.key
account_email: ###########.###
csr: /etc/ssl/{{ myhost.public_hostname }}.csr
dest: /etc/ssl/{{ myhost.public_hostname }}.crt
chain_dest: /etc/ssl/{{ myhost.public_hostname }}.int
fullchain_dest: /etc/ssl/{{ myhost.public_hostname }}.pem
challenge: dns-01
acme_directory: https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
remaining_days: 60
data: "{{ le_com_challenge }}"
tags: sslcert
The documentation says that this is valid, but the error response does not include chain|chain_dest or fullchain|fullchain_dest as valid parameters.
I would, from the docs, expect that this response should result in the new certificate being created (.crt), the chain being created (.int), and the fullchain to be created (.pem).
Any help would be appreciated.
Should have waited 5 minutes... seems that the newer parameters are only available under the newer module name acme_certificate, even though it says letsencrypt was a valid alias. As soon as I updated this it worked.
I did a "renew Cert" on one of my Enterprise subCAs, and it's totally messed up my results on Enterprise PKI in MMC. In the Certificate Authority snapin, there are now two certs (Certificate #0 and #1). The AIA (ldap) is showing "Unable to Download", with the "original CN=". The CDP (ldap) location has a (1) on it, as does the DeltaCRL. Every time I renew the revocation, it makes both the original cert's crl and a (1). The CDP/DeltaCRL (http) also both show "unable to download", even though the files exist in the directory. The only AIA location that shows OK is the http location.
I need to get rid of the old CA cert (the #0), I'll re-push the new one out via a GPO once this all is resolved. I tried to remove the AIA via ADSIEdit, and then republish it via "certutil -dspublish" but that gives me a 0x80070057 (WIN32: 87 ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER) error. Trying to connect to the Configuration of the specific CA via ADSIEdit says "server is not operational". In ADSIEdit CN=CDP there are multiple entries, the normal "CA", a "CA-1", and a "CA-1(1)".
This is in our "Test" environment (luckily), but I need to get a proper process sorted out as I need to do this in two other forests. I'm actually tempted to just totally rebuild a new CA in the other zones instead of fighting with all of this.
All I'm trying to do is re-issue a subCA's cert, and get it to work correctly and report healthy in Enterprise PKI!

CRLPublicationURLs
1st, you're publish to the local disk (C:\Windows\System32\CertSrv\CertEnroll\%3%8%9.crl) but nowhere else. Now you may have a manual process in place to upload this CRL to the CDP, in which case this is fine. Otherwise, you need to add another url (for example 65:file://\\[server]\[share]\%3%8%9.crl, where [server] is your CDP and [share] is a share for the directory containing your CRLs) so that new CRLs are automatically published to the CDP by the CA.
2nd, you are using a CDP of http://pki.omni.phish//CertEnroll/%3%4%9.crl. The %4 should be %8.
When you renew a CA certificate, you need the original CA certificate and CRL to still be available so that all end-entities that were previously issued certificates still work. Microsoft CAs do this by appending a (1) to the CRL name, just before the .crl extension for the 1st replacement certificate (Certificate #1 in the MMC) and (2) for the next renewal and so on. This is configured by the %8 in the CRLPublicationURLs registry key.
CAPublicationURLs
You are adding the URL to the CA certificate as http://pki.omni.phish/CertEnroll/%3.crt. You need to add a %4 after the %3.
The %4 does a similar job to what %8 does for CRLs. Without it, the CA certificate name remains the same.
There are three different ways you can fix these:
You can use the MMC - under Extensions on the CA Properties dialog. However, it's really clumsy to operate.
You can use the certutil -setreg command, but you have to overwrite all of the settings - you can't edit one line.
You can edit the registry directly at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CertSrv\Configuration\[CA Name]
I find the latter is the simplest.
May I suggest some PKI and Microsoft ADCS revision before you touch production? :-)
