TLS and authentication patches
by Matt Pepe 19 Sep '13

19 Sep '13

Hello, On a related note, I have patches for the GNUTLS side of things that allows for client certificate support (including CRLs). I also have ngircd connected to a an OTP solution, which obviously causes issues with the numerous client re-connects. I ended up implementing an authentication cache to solve that problem as well. Any interest in both/either? - Matt

Support fir OpenSSL CipherList
by Bastian 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi all, find attached a patch which enables a configuration option CipherList. This can be used to select/deselect ciphers used for tls/ssl connections. This became significant to me, because my network ops detected my ngIRCd would allow low and already known to be broken ciphers. Sorry, this is only for OpenSSL, gnutls is not included. Please also mind, that this was the first time for me looking into ngIRCd code. I hope I got all the meanings about config reading and … [View More]

Perhaps use the 'stunnel' method for serving ngircd over SSL and disable weak ciphers through stunnel's configuration, see http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/SSL.txt options = NO_SSLv2 ciphers = ALL:-ADH:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP If you're using RHEL-derived … [View More]

question about strong ciphers
by Michiel van Es 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Hello, I am using OpenSSL (1.*) with Ngircd to enforce SSL connections. Is there a possibility that I can enforce certain ciphers or disable certain weak ciphers? The default config allow 56 bits ciphers: SSLv3:RC4-MD5 - ENABLED - STRONG 128 bits SSLv3:DES-CBC3-SHA - ENABLED - STRONG 168 bits SSLv3:CAMELLIA128-SHA - ENABLED - STRONG 128 bits SSLv3:RC4-SHA - ENABLED - STRONG 128 bits SSLv3:SEED-SHA - ENABLED - STRONG 128 bits SSLv3:CAMELLIA256-SHA - ENABLED - STRONG 256 bits *… [View More]
