Connector::Role::SSLUserAgent

Setup the HTTP UserAgent object with connection and SSL parameters.

LWP options

timeout

Timeout for the connection in seconds, default is 10.

proxy

URL of a proxy to use, must include protocol and port, e.g. https://proxy.intranet.company.com:8080/

SSL support

This connector supports client authentication using certificates.

use_net_ssl

Set this to a true value to use Net::SSL as backend library (otherwise IO::Socket::SSL is used). Be aware the Net::SSL does not check the hostname of the server certificate so Man-in-the-Middle-Attacks might be possible. You should use this only with a really good reason or if you need support for PKCS12 containers.

ssl_ignore_hostname

Do not validate the hostname of the server certificate (only useful with IO::Socket::SSL as Net::SSL does not check the hostname at all).

certificate_file

Path to a PEM encoded certificate file.

certificate_key_file

Path to a PEM encoded key file.

certificate_p12_file

Path to a PKCS12 container file. This is only supported by Net:SSL and can not be used together with certificate_file/certificate_key_file.

certificate_key_password

The plain password of your encrypted key or PKCS12 container. Note that Net::SSL does not support password protected keys. You need to use a PKCS12 container instead! Leave this empty if your key is not protected by a password.

ca_certificate_path

Path to a directory with trusted certificates (with openssl hashed names). Also used to validate the server certificate even if no client authentication is used.

ca_certificate_file

Same as ca_certificate_path pointing to a single file.

ssl_ignore_mode

Boolean, turn of validation of ssl peer certificate (IO::Socket only).
