[PATCH 04/12] qemu-nbd: add --tls-hostname option for TLS certificate va


From: Daniel P . Berrangé
Subject: [PATCH 04/12] qemu-nbd: add --tls-hostname option for TLS certificate validation
Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2022 16:03:22 +0000

When using the --list option, qemu-nbd acts as an NBD client rather
than a server. As such when using TLS, it has a need to validate
the server certificate. This adds a --tls-hostname option which can
be used to override the default hostname used for certificate
validation.

+.. option:: --tls-hostname=hostname
+
+  When validating an x509 certificate received over a TLS connection,
+  the hostname that the NBD client used to connect will be checked
+  against information in the server provided certificate. Sometimes
+  it might be required to override the hostname used to perform this
+  check. For example if the NBD client is using a tunnel from localhost
+  to connect to the remote server. In this case the `--tls-hostname`
+  option should be used to set the officially expected hostname of
+  the remote NBD server. This can also be used if accessing NBD over
+  a UNIX socket where there is no inherant hostname available. This
+  only is only permitted when acting as a NBD client with the `--list`
+  option.

 .. option:: --fork
 
   Fork off the server process and exit the parent once the server is running.
