Description David Jaša 2012-06-22 06:43:41 UTC

Description of problem:
print more informative error on host subject mismatch

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-gtk-0.11-11

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a server certificate with Subject containing CN=$IP (or CN=$FQDN)
2. start a spice-server: qemu-kvm -spice tls-port=$PORT,x509-dir=$DIR
3. connect to a server with:
remote-viewer --spice-ca-file $CACERT spice://$FQDN/?tls-port=$PORT
(or remote-viewer --spice-ca-file $CACERT spice://$IP/?tls-port=$PORT
  
Actual results:
remote-viewer presents raw OpenSSL error:
GSpice-WARNING **: main-1:0: SSL_connect: error:00000001:lib(0):func(0):reason(1)

Expected results:
remote-viewer should print error like this instead:
Host Subject mismatch: server presented itself with subject: "$SUBJ"

Additional info:

Comment 1 Christophe Fergeau 2012-06-22 09:52:23 UTC

In such a case, there is not really a subject mismatch. remote-viewer is not passed a host subject parameter, so it won't attempt to verify it.
What will happen here is that hostname verification will be attempted, and if this fails, the connection will fail.
So I'm not sure we want to report a host subject mismatch here.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:04:50 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 02:00:38 UTC

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2012-07-13 16:08:06 UTC

This should be addressed by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-common/commit/?id=bf5511033d5d6fb98cd597699a725183ae078b62
