=pod =head1 NAME SRP_VBASE_new, SRP_VBASE_free, SRP_VBASE_init, SRP_VBASE_add0_user, SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user - Functions to create and manage a stack of SRP user verifier information =head1 SYNOPSIS #include Deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, can be hidden entirely by defining B with a suitable version value, see L: SRP_VBASE *SRP_VBASE_new(char *seed_key); void SRP_VBASE_free(SRP_VBASE *vb); int SRP_VBASE_init(SRP_VBASE *vb, char *verifier_file); int SRP_VBASE_add0_user(SRP_VBASE *vb, SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd); SRP_user_pwd *SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user(SRP_VBASE *vb, char *username); SRP_user_pwd *SRP_VBASE_get_by_user(SRP_VBASE *vb, char *username); =head1 DESCRIPTION All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. There are no available replacement functions at this time. The SRP_VBASE_new() function allocates a structure to store server side SRP verifier information. If B is not NULL a copy is stored and used to generate dummy parameters for users that are not found by SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user(). This allows the server to hide the fact that it doesn't have a verifier for a particular username, as described in section 2.5.1.3 'Unknown SRP' of RFC 5054. The seed string should contain random NUL terminated binary data (therefore the random data should not contain NUL bytes!). The SRP_VBASE_free() function frees up the B structure. If B is NULL, nothing is done. The SRP_VBASE_init() function parses the information in a verifier file and populates the B structure. The verifier file is a text file containing multiple entries, whose format is: flag base64(verifier) base64(salt) username gNid userinfo(optional) where the flag can be 'V' (valid) or 'R' (revoked). Note that the base64 encoding used here is non-standard so it is recommended to use L to generate this file. The SRP_VBASE_add0_user() function adds the B verifier information to the B structure. See L to create and populate this record. The library takes ownership of B, it should not be freed by the caller. The SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user() function returns the password info for the user whose username matches B. It replaces the deprecated SRP_VBASE_get_by_user(). If no matching user is found but a seed_key and default gN parameters have been set, dummy authentication information is generated from the seed_key, allowing the server to hide the fact that it doesn't have a verifier for a particular username. When using SRP as a TLS authentication mechanism, this will cause the handshake to proceed normally but the first client will be rejected with a "bad_record_mac" alert, as if the password was incorrect. If no matching user is found and the seed_key is not set, NULL is returned. Ownership of the returned pointer is released to the caller, it must be freed with SRP_user_pwd_free(). =head1 RETURN VALUES SRP_VBASE_init() returns B (0) on success and a positive value on failure. The error codes are B if the file could not be opened, B if the file could not be parsed, B on memory allocation failure and B for invalid decoded parameter values. SRP_VBASE_add0_user() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L =head1 HISTORY The SRP_VBASE_add0_user() function was added in OpenSSL 3.0. All other functions were added in OpenSSL 1.0.1. All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2018-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors. All Rights Reserved.
