Table of Contents

Status

This Lua module is production ready.

Synopsis

# nginx.conf

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name   test.com;
    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.key;
    ssl_client_hello_by_lua_block {
        local ssl_clt = require "ngx.ssl.clienthello"
        local host, err = ssl_clt.get_client_hello_server_name()
        if host == "test.com" then
            ssl_clt.set_protocols({"TLSv1", "TLSv1.1"})
        elseif host == "test2.com" then
            ssl_clt.set_protocols({"TLSv1.2", "TLSv1.3"})
        elseif not host then
            ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "failed to get the SNI name: ", err)
            ngx.exit(ngx.ERROR)
        else
            ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "unknown SNI name: ", host)
            ngx.exit(ngx.ERROR)
        end
    }
    ...
}
server {
    listen 443 ssl;

Description

This Lua module provides API functions for post-processing SSL client hello message for NGINX downstream connections.

It must to be used in the contexts ssl_client_hello_by_lua*.

This Lua API is particularly useful for dynamically setting the SSL protocols according to the SNI.

It is also useful to do some custom operations according to the per-connection information in the client hello message.

For example, one can parse the custom client hello extension and do the corresponding handling in pure Lua.

To load the ngx.ssl.clienthello module in Lua, just write

local ssl_clt = require "ngx.ssl.clienthello"

Methods

get_client_hello_server_name

syntax: host, err = ssl_clt.get_client_hello_server_name()

context: ssl_client_hello_by_lua*

Returns the TLS SNI (Server Name Indication) name set by the client.

Return nil when then the extension does not exist.

In case of errors, it returns nil and a string describing the error.

Note that the SNI name is gotten from the raw extensions of the client hello message associated with the current downstream SSL connection.

So this function can only be called in the context of ssl_client_hello_by_lua*.

Back to TOC

get_supported_versions

syntax: types, err = ssl_clt.get_supported_versions()

context: ssl_client_hello_by_lua*

Returns the table of ssl hello supported versions set by the client.

Return nil when then the extension does not exist.

In case of errors, it returns nil and a string describing the error.

Note that the types is gotten from the raw extensions of the client hello message associated with the current downstream SSL connection.

So this function can only be called in the context of ssl_client_hello_by_lua*.

Back to TOC

get_client_hello_ext

syntax: ext, err = ssl_clt.get_client_hello_ext(ext_type)

context: ssl_client_hello_by_lua*

Returns raw data of arbitrary SSL client hello extension including custom extensions.

Returns nil if the specified extension type does not exist.

In case of errors, it returns nil and a string describing the error.

Note that the ext is gotten from the raw extensions of the client hello message associated with the current downstream SSL connection.

So this function can only be called in the context of ssl_client_hello_by_lua*.

Example:

Gets server name from raw extension data. The 0 in ssl_clt.get_client_hello_ext(0) denotes TLSEXT_TYPE_server_name, and the 0 in byte(ext, 3) ~= 0 denotes TLSEXT_NAMETYPE_host_name.

# nginx.conf
server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name   test.com;
    ssl_client_hello_by_lua_block {
        local ssl_clt = require "ngx.ssl.clienthello"
        local byte = string.byte
        local ext = ssl_clt.get_client_hello_ext(0)
        if not ext then
            print("failed to get_client_hello_ext(0)")
            ngx.exit(ngx.ERROR)
        end
        local total_len = string.len(ext)
        if total_len <= 2 then
            print("bad SSL Client Hello Extension")
            ngx.exit(ngx.ERROR)
        end
        local len = byte(ext, 1) * 256 + byte(ext, 2)
        if len + 2 ~= total_len then
            print("bad SSL Client Hello Extension")
            ngx.exit(ngx.ERROR)
        end
        if byte(ext, 3) ~= 0 then
            print("bad SSL Client Hello Extension")
            ngx.exit(ngx.ERROR)
        end
        if total_len <= 5 then
            print("bad SSL Client Hello Extension")
            ngx.exit(ngx.ERROR)
        end
        len = byte(ext, 4) * 256 + byte(ext, 5)
        if len + 5 > total_len then
            print("bad SSL Client Hello Extension")
            ngx.exit(ngx.ERROR)
        end
        local name = string.sub(ext, 6, 6 + len -1)

        print("read SNI name from Lua: ", name)
    }
    ssl_certificate test.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key test.key;
}

Back to TOC

set_protocols

syntax: ok, err = ssl_clt.set_protocols(protocols)

context: ssl_client_hello_by_lua*

Sets the SSL protocols supported by the current downstream SSL connection.

Returns true on success, or a nil value and a string describing the error otherwise.

Considering it is meaningless to set ssl protocols after the protocol is determined, so this function may only be called in the context of ssl_client_hello_by_lua*.

Example: ssl_clt.set_protocols({"TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2", "TLSv1.3"})
