[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/1] chardev: add support for authorization for TLS clients

[Daniel P . Berrangé]

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <address@hidden>

Currently any client which can complete the TLS handshake is able to use
a chardev server. The server admin can turn on the 'verify-peer' option
for the x509 creds to require the client to provide a x509
certificate. This means the client will have to acquire a certificate
from the CA before they are permitted to use the chardev server. This is
still a fairly low bar.

This adds a 'tls-authz=OBJECT-ID' option to the socket chardev backend
which takes the ID of a previously added 'QAuthZ' object instance. This
will be used to validate the client's x509 distinguished name. Clients
failing the check will not be permitted to use the chardev server.

For example to setup authorization that only allows connection from a
client whose x509 certificate distinguished name contains 'CN=fred', you
would use:

  $QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\
                endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \
        -object authz-simple,id=authz0,identity=CN=laptop.example.com,,\
                O=Example Org,,L=London,,ST=London,,C=GB \
        -chardev socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=9000,server,\
                 tls-creds=tls0,tls-authz=authz0 \
        ...other qemu args...
