Class SSLFactory

java.lang.Object
org.apache.cassandra.security.SSLFactory

public final class SSLFactory extends Object
A Factory for providing and setting up client SSLSockets. Also provides methods for creating both JSSE SSLContext instances as well as netty SslContext instances.

Netty SslContext instances are expensive to create (as well as to destroy) and consume a lof of resources (especially direct memory), but instances can be reused across connections (assuming the SSL params are the same). Hence we cache created instances in cachedSslContexts.

    • openSslIsAvailable

      public static boolean openSslIsAvailable()
    • tlsInstanceProtocolSubstitution

      public static List<String> tlsInstanceProtocolSubstitution()
      Provides the list of protocols that would have been supported if "TLS" was selected as the protocol before the change for CASSANDRA-13325 that expects explicit protocol versions.
      Returns:
      list of enabled protocol names
    • createSSLContext

      public static SSLContext createSSLContext(EncryptionOptions options, boolean verifyPeerCertificate) throws IOException
      Create a JSSE SSLContext.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • getOrCreateSslContext

      public static io.netty.handler.ssl.SslContext getOrCreateSslContext(EncryptionOptions options, boolean verifyPeerCertificate, ISslContextFactory.SocketType socketType, String contextDescription) throws IOException
      get a netty SslContext instance
      Throws:
      IOException
    • checkCertFilesForHotReloading

      public static void checkCertFilesForHotReloading()
      Performs a lightweight check whether the certificate files have been refreshed.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if initHotReloading(EncryptionOptions.ServerEncryptionOptions, EncryptionOptions, boolean) is not called first
    • forceCheckCertFiles

      public static void forceCheckCertFiles()
      Forces revalidation and loading of SSL certifcates if valid
    • clearSslContextCache

      public static void clearSslContextCache()
      This clears the cache of Netty's SslContext objects for Client and Server sockets. This is made publically available so that any ISslContextFactory's implementation can call this to handle any special scenario to invalidate the SslContext cache. This should be used with caution since the purpose of this cache is save costly creation of Netty's SslContext objects and this essentially results in re-creating it.
    • initHotReloading

      public static void initHotReloading(EncryptionOptions.ServerEncryptionOptions serverOpts, EncryptionOptions clientOpts, boolean force) throws IOException
      Determines whether to hot reload certificates and schedules a periodic task for it.
      Parameters:
      serverOpts - Server encryption options (Internode)
      clientOpts - Client encryption options (Native Protocol)
      Throws:
      IOException
    • validateSslContext

      public static void validateSslContext(String contextDescription, EncryptionOptions options, boolean verifyPeerCertificate, boolean logProtocolAndCiphers) throws IOException
      Throws:
      IOException
    • validateSslCerts

      public static void validateSslCerts(EncryptionOptions.ServerEncryptionOptions serverOpts, EncryptionOptions clientOpts) throws IOException
      Sanity checks all certificates to ensure we can actually load them
      Throws:
      IOException
