Typedef Documentation

— Authentication Context.


value, if not NULL, is guaranteed to be NULL terminated.

— grpc_call_credentials object.

A call credentials object represents a way to authenticate on a particular call. These credentials can be composed with a channel credentials object so that they are sent with every call on this channel.

— grpc_channel_credentials object.


A channel credentials object represents a way to authenticate a client on a channel.

typedef void(* grpc_credentials_plugin_metadata_cb)(void *user_data, const grpc_metadata *creds_md, size_t num_creds_md, grpc_status_code status, const char *error_details)

Callback function to be called by the metadata credentials plugin implementation when the metadata is ready.

  • user_data is the opaque pointer that was passed in the get_metadata method of the grpc_metadata_credentials_plugin (see below).
  • creds_md is an array of credentials metadata produced by the plugin. It may be set to NULL in case of an error.
  • num_creds_md is the number of items in the creds_md array.
  • status must be GRPC_STATUS_OK in case of success or another specific error code otherwise.
  • error_details contains details about the error if any. In case of success it should be NULL and will be otherwise ignored.
typedef void(* grpc_process_auth_metadata_done_cb)(void *user_data, const grpc_metadata *consumed_md, size_t num_consumed_md, const grpc_metadata *response_md, size_t num_response_md, grpc_status_code status, const char *error_details)

— Auth Metadata Processing —

Callback function that is called when the metadata processing is done.

  • Consumed metadata will be removed from the set of metadata available on the call. consumed_md may be NULL if no metadata has been consumed.
  • Response metadata will be set on the response. response_md may be NULL.
  • status is GRPC_STATUS_OK for success or a specific status for an error. Common error status for auth metadata processing is either GRPC_STATUS_UNAUTHENTICATED in case of an authentication failure or GRPC_STATUS PERMISSION_DENIED in case of an authorization failure.
  • error_details gives details about the error. May be NULL.

— grpc_server_credentials object.


A server credentials object represents a way to authenticate a server.

typedef grpc_ssl_roots_override_result(* grpc_ssl_roots_override_callback)(char **pem_root_certs)

Callback for getting the SSL roots override from the application.

In case of success, *pem_roots_certs must be set to a NULL terminated string containing the list of PEM encoded root certificates. The ownership is passed to the core and freed (laster by the core) with gpr_free. If this function fails and GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH environment is set to a valid path, it will override the roots specified this func

  • pem_root_certs is the NULL-terminated string containing the PEM encoding of the server root certificates. If this parameter is NULL, the implementation will first try to dereference the file pointed by the GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH environment variable, and if that fails, try to get the roots set by grpc_override_ssl_default_roots. Eventually, if all these fail, it will try to get the roots from a well-known place on disk (in the grpc install directory).
  • pem_key_cert_pair is a pointer on the object containing client's private key and certificate chain. This parameter can be NULL if the client does not have such a key/cert pair.

)

Deprecated in favor of grpc_ssl_server_credentials_create_ex.

  • pem_roots_cert is the NULL-terminated string containing the PEM encoding of the client root certificates. This parameter may be NULL if the server does not want the client to be authenticated with SSL.
  • pem_key_cert_pairs is an array private key / certificate chains of the server. This parameter cannot be NULL.
  • num_key_cert_pairs indicates the number of items in the private_key_files and cert_chain_files parameters. It should be at least 1.
  • force_client_auth, if set to non-zero will force the client to authenticate with an SSL cert. Note that this option is ignored if pem_root_certs is NULL.
GRPCAPI grpc_server_credentials* grpc_ssl_server_credentials_create_ex ( const char *  pem_root_certs,
grpc_ssl_pem_key_cert_pair pem_key_cert_pairs,
size_t  num_key_cert_pairs,
grpc_ssl_client_certificate_request_type  client_certificate_request,
void *  reserved 
)
