Rob, there is a Fedora scratch build here for a trial 0.16.0 version:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7930311

It includes all the SSL version range API calls (as well as the ability to set trust properites on Certificates that someone else had requested). Examples of using the SSL version range stuff can be found in doc/examples/ssl_version_range.py

I'd rather not go through the effort of doing an official Mozilla release and RHEL builds until you sanity check this trial version. Would you please do that and report back? Thanks!

In IRC Rob asked to augment the new verson with support for

SSLCipherSuiteInfo

In addition to that

SSLChannelInfo

was added which can be querried off a SSLSocket object, also SSLSocket.get_negotiated_host() was added.

However the information in SSLCipherSuiteInfo and SSLChannelInfo is often best combined together in an integrated fashion so SSLSocket now also supports a connection_info_str() method which dumps out the information on the parameters of the SSL connection as it was established. For example if you have a handshake callback you could dump information this way:

def handshake_callback(sock):
    print "-- handshake complete --"
    print "peer: %s" % (sock.get_peer_name())
    print "negotiated host: %s" % (sock.get_negotiated_host())
    print
    print sock.connection_info_str()
    print "-- handshake complete --"
    print

An example of which is shown below:

-- handshake complete --
peer: 69.58.181.89:443
negotiated host: www.verisign.com

SSL Protocol Version: 3.1 (tls1.0)
Cipher:               128-bit AES
MAC:                  160-bit SHA1
Auth:                 2048-bit RSA
Key Exchange:         1024-bit DHE
Compression:          NULL
-- handshake complete --

Of course all the individual data items from SSLCipherSuiteInfo and SSLConnectionInfo can be directly accessed as well as printed in a friendly form. 

In all 46 new methods were added to support the above.

It should now be version easy when trying to establish the SSL protocol version to see the exact SSL connection and cipher parameters in use.

Also when using SSLCipherSuiteInfo don't forget there has always been a tuple of supported ssl cipher suites avalable as

ssl.ssl_implemented_ciphers

and dumping them is now as simple as:

for cipher in ssl.ssl_implemented_ciphers:
    suite_info = ssl.get_cipher_suite_info(cipher)
    print suite_info
    print

Please test and report.

My appologies, the scratch build and SRPM mentioned in comment #2 was incorrect

The correct scratch build and the updated SRPM can be found here:

Tested out in ipa tool ok for me.
