+ TLS will now try to order certificate chains if they

+ “certificate_list” ordering was required to be
+ strict, however some implementations already allowed for
+ some flexibility. For maximum compatibility, all

+ TLS will now try to reconstructed an incomplete

- <title>Introduction to Certificates</title>
- <p>Certificates were originally defined by ITU (CCITT) and the latest
- definitions are described in <cite id="X.509"></cite>, but those definitions
- are (as always) not working.
- </p>
- <p>Working certificate definitions for the Internet Community are found
- in the the PKIX RFCs <cite id="rfc3279"></cite> and <cite id="rfc3280"></cite>.
- The parsing of certificates in the Erlang/OTP SSL application is
- based on those RFCS.
- </p>
- <p>Certificates are defined in terms of ASN.1 (<cite id="X.680"></cite>).
- For an introduction to ASN.1 see <url href="http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/">ASN.1 Information Site</url>.

- <title>PKIX Certificates</title>
- <p>Certificate handling is now handled by the <c>public_key</c> application.</p>
- <p>
- DER encoded certificates returned by <c>ssl:peercert/1</c> can for example
- be decoded by the <c>public_key:pkix_decode_cert/2</c> function.

+ that is consulted when the node is started. This file name

+ <c>-ssl_dist_optfile</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Any available SSL/TLS option can be specified in an options file,
+ but note that options that take a <c>fun()</c> has to use

+ body can not be compiled when consulting a file.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Do not tamper with the socket options
+ <c>list</c>, <c>binary</c>, <c>active</c>, <c>packet</c>,
+ <c>nodelay</c> and <c>deliver</c> since they are used
+ by the distribution protocol handler itself.
+ Other raw socket options such as <c>packet_size</c> may
+ interfere severely, so beware!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For SSL/TLS to work, at least a public key and a certificate
+ must be specified for the server side.
+ In the following example, the PEM file
+ <c>"/home/me/ssl/erlserver.pem"</c> contains both
+ the server certificate and its private key.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Create a file named for example
+ <c>"/home/me/ssl/[email protected]"</c>:
+ </p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+[{server,
+ [{certfile, "/home/me/ssl/erlserver.pem"},
+ {secure_renegotiate, true}]},
+ {client,
+ [{secure_renegotiate, true}]}].]]>
+ </code>
+ <p>
+ And then start the node like this
+ (line breaks in the command are for readability,
+ and shall not be there when typed):
+ </p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+$ erl -boot /home/me/ssl/start_ssl -proto_dist inet_tls
+ -ssl_dist_optfile "/home/me/ssl/[email protected]"
+ -sname ssl_test]]>
+ </code>
+ <p>
+ The options in the <c>{server, Opts}</c> tuple are used
+ when calling <c>ssl:ssl_accept/3</c>, and the options in the
+ <c>{client, Opts}</c> tuple are used when calling
+ <c>ssl:connect/4</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For the client, the option
+ <c>{server_name_indication, atom_to_list(TargetNode)}</c>
+ is added when connecting.
+ This makes it possible to use the client option
+ <c>{verify, verify_peer}</c>,
+ and the client will verify that the certificate matches
+ the node name you are connecting to.
+ This only works if the the server certificate is issued
+ to the name <c>atom_to_list(TargetNode)</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For the server it is also possible to use the option
+ <c>{verify, verify_peer}</c> and the server will only accept
+ client connections with certificates that are trusted by
+ a root certificate that the server knows.
+ A client that presents an untrusted certificate will be rejected.
+ This option is preferably combined with
+ <c>{fail_if_no_peer_cert, true}</c> or a client will
