Detailed Description

The QSslSocket class provides an SSL encrypted socket for both clients and servers.

Since: 4.3

\reentrant

\inmodule QtNetwork

QSslSocket establishes a secure, encrypted TCP connection you can use for transmitting encrypted data. It can operate in both client and server mode, and it supports modern TLS protocols, including TLS 1.3. By default, QSslSocket uses only TLS protocols which are considered to be secure (QSsl::SecureProtocols), but you can change the TLS protocol by calling setProtocol() as long as you do it before the handshake has started.

SSL encryption operates on top of the existing TCP stream after the socket enters the ConnectedState. There are two simple ways to establish a secure connection using QSslSocket: With an immediate SSL handshake, or with a delayed SSL handshake occurring after the connection has been established in unencrypted mode.

The most common way to use QSslSocket is to construct an object and start a secure connection by calling connectToHostEncrypted(). This method starts an immediate SSL handshake once the connection has been established.

QSslSocket *socket = new QSslSocket(this);
connect(socket, &QSslSocket::encrypted, this, &Receiver::ready);
 
socket->connectToHostEncrypted("imap.example.com", 993);

As with a plain QTcpSocket, QSslSocket enters the HostLookupState, ConnectingState, and finally the ConnectedState, if the connection is successful. The handshake then starts automatically, and if it succeeds, the encrypted() signal is emitted to indicate the socket has entered the encrypted state and is ready for use.

Note that data can be written to the socket immediately after the return from connectToHostEncrypted() (i.e., before the encrypted() signal is emitted). The data is queued in QSslSocket until after the encrypted() signal is emitted.

An example of using the delayed SSL handshake to secure an existing connection is the case where an SSL server secures an incoming connection. Suppose you create an SSL server class as a subclass of QTcpServer. You would override QTcpServer::incomingConnection() with something like the example below, which first constructs an instance of QSslSocket and then calls setSocketDescriptor() to set the new socket's descriptor to the existing one passed in. It then initiates the SSL handshake by calling startServerEncryption().

void SslServer::incomingConnection(qintptr socketDescriptor)
{
    QSslSocket *serverSocket = new QSslSocket;
    if (serverSocket->setSocketDescriptor(socketDescriptor)) {
        addPendingConnection(serverSocket);
        connect(serverSocket, &QSslSocket::encrypted, this, &SslServer::ready);
        serverSocket->startServerEncryption();
    } else {
        delete serverSocket;
    }
}

If an error occurs, QSslSocket emits the sslErrors() signal. In this case, if no action is taken to ignore the error(s), the connection is dropped. To continue, despite the occurrence of an error, you can call ignoreSslErrors(), either from within this slot after the error occurs, or any time after construction of the QSslSocket and before the connection is attempted. This will allow QSslSocket to ignore the errors it encounters when establishing the identity of the peer. Ignoring errors during an SSL handshake should be used with caution, since a fundamental characteristic of secure connections is that they should be established with a successful handshake.

Once encrypted, you use QSslSocket as a regular QTcpSocket. When readyRead() is emitted, you can call read(), canReadLine() and readLine(), or getChar() to read decrypted data from QSslSocket's internal buffer, and you can call write() or putChar() to write data back to the peer. QSslSocket will automatically encrypt the written data for you, and emit encryptedBytesWritten() once the data has been written to the peer.

As a convenience, QSslSocket supports QTcpSocket's blocking functions waitForConnected(), waitForReadyRead(), waitForBytesWritten(), and waitForDisconnected(). It also provides waitForEncrypted(), which will block the calling thread until an encrypted connection has been established.

QSslSocket socket;
socket.connectToHostEncrypted("http.example.com", 443);
if (!socket.waitForEncrypted()) {
    qDebug() << socket.errorString();
    return false;
}
 
socket.write("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n");
while (socket.waitForReadyRead())
    qDebug() << socket.readAll().data();

QSslSocket provides an extensive, easy-to-use API for handling cryptographic ciphers, private keys, and local, peer, and Certification Authority (CA) certificates. It also provides an API for handling errors that occur during the handshake phase.

The following features can also be customized:

\list

The socket's cryptographic cipher suite can be customized before the handshake phase with QSslConfiguration::setCiphers().
The socket's local certificate and private key can be customized before the handshake phase with setLocalCertificate() and setPrivateKey().
The CA certificate database can be extended and customized with QSslConfiguration::addCaCertificate(), QSslConfiguration::addCaCertificates(). \endlist

To extend the list of default CA certificates used by the SSL sockets during the SSL handshake you must update the default configuration, as in the snippet below:

QList<QSslCertificate> certificates = getCertificates();
QSslConfiguration configuration = QSslConfiguration::defaultConfiguration();
configuration.addCaCertificates(certificates);
QSslConfiguration::setDefaultConfiguration(configuration);

Note: If available, root certificates on Unix (excluding \macos) will be loaded on demand from the standard certificate directories. If you do not want to load root certificates on demand, you need to call either QSslConfiguration::defaultConfiguration().setCaCertificates() before the first SSL handshake is made in your application (for example, via passing QSslSocket::systemCaCertificates() to it), or call QSslConfiguration::defaultConfiguration()::setCaCertificates() on your QSslSocket instance prior to the SSL handshake.

For more information about ciphers and certificates, refer to QSslCipher and QSslCertificate.

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (\l{http://www.openssl.org/}).

Note: Be aware of the difference between the bytesWritten() signal and the encryptedBytesWritten() signal. For a QTcpSocket, bytesWritten() will get emitted as soon as data has been written to the TCP socket. For a QSslSocket, bytesWritten() will get emitted when the data is being encrypted and encryptedBytesWritten() will get emitted as soon as data has been written to the TCP socket.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ PeerVerifyMode

enum QSslSocket::PeerVerifyMode

Since: 4.4

Describes the peer verification modes for QSslSocket. The default mode is AutoVerifyPeer, which selects an appropriate mode depending on the socket's QSocket::SslMode.

\value VerifyNone QSslSocket will not request a certificate from the peer. You can set this mode if you are not interested in the identity of the other side of the connection. The connection will still be encrypted, and your socket will still send its local certificate to the peer if it's requested.

\value QueryPeer QSslSocket will request a certificate from the peer, but does not require this certificate to be valid. This is useful when you want to display peer certificate details to the user without affecting the actual SSL handshake. This mode is the default for servers. Note: In Schannel this value acts the same as VerifyNone.

\value VerifyPeer QSslSocket will request a certificate from the peer during the SSL handshake phase, and requires that this certificate is valid. On failure, QSslSocket will emit the QSslSocket::sslErrors() signal. This mode is the default for clients.

\value AutoVerifyPeer QSslSocket will automatically use QueryPeer for server sockets and VerifyPeer for client sockets.

◆ activeBackend()

QString QSslSocket::activeBackend ( )

static

Since: 6.1 Returns the name of the backend that QSslSocket and related classes use. If the active backend was not set explicitly, this function returns the name of a default backend that QSslSocket selects implicitly from the list of available backends.

Note: When selecting a default backend implicitly, QSslSocket prefers the OpenSSL backend if available. If it's not available, the Schannel backend is implicitly selected on Windows, and Secure Transport on Darwin platforms. Failing these, if a custom TLS backend is found, it is used. If no other backend is found, the "certificate only" backend is selected. For more information about TLS plugins, please see \l {Enabling and Disabling SSL Support when Building Qt from Source}.

void QAbstractSocket::connectToHost	(	const QString &	hostName,

virtual

Attempts to make a connection to hostName on the given port.

The protocol parameter can be used to specify which network protocol to use (eg. IPv4 or IPv6).

The socket is opened in the given openMode and first enters HostLookupState, then performs a host name lookup of hostName. If the lookup succeeds, hostFound() is emitted and QAbstractSocket enters ConnectingState. It then attempts to connect to the address or addresses returned by the lookup. Finally, if a connection is established, QAbstractSocket enters ConnectedState and emits connected().

At any point, the socket can emit errorOccurred() to signal that an error occurred.

hostName may be an IP address in string form (e.g., "43.195.83.32"), or it may be a host name (e.g., "example.com"). QAbstractSocket will do a lookup only if required. port is in native byte order.

void QSslSocket::connectToHostEncrypted	(	const QString &	hostName,
		quint16	port,
		OpenMode	mode = ReadWrite,
		NetworkLayerProtocol	protocol = AnyIPProtocol )

Starts an encrypted connection to the device hostName on port, using mode as the \l OpenMode.

This is equivalent to calling connectToHost() to establish the connection, followed by a call to startClientEncryption(). The protocol parameter can be used to specify which network protocol to use (eg. IPv4 or IPv6).

QSslSocket first enters the HostLookupState. Then, after entering either the event loop or one of the waitFor...() functions, it enters the ConnectingState, emits connected(), and then initiates the SSL client handshake. At each state change, QSslSocket emits signal stateChanged().

After initiating the SSL client handshake, if the identity of the peer can't be established, signal sslErrors() is emitted. If you want to ignore the errors and continue connecting, you must call ignoreSslErrors(), either from inside a slot function connected to the sslErrors() signal, or prior to entering encrypted mode. If ignoreSslErrors() is not called, the connection is dropped, signal disconnected() is emitted, and QSslSocket returns to the UnconnectedState.

If the SSL handshake is successful, QSslSocket emits encrypted().

QSslSocket socket;
connect(&socket, &QSslSocket::encrypted, receiver, &Receiver::socketEncrypted);
 
socket.connectToHostEncrypted("imap", 993);
socket->write("1 CAPABILITY\r\n");

Note: The example above shows that text can be written to the socket immediately after requesting the encrypted connection, before the encrypted() signal has been emitted. In such cases, the text is queued in the object and written to the socket after the connection is established and the encrypted() signal has been emitted.

The default for mode is \l ReadWrite.

If you want to create a QSslSocket on the server side of a connection, you should instead call startServerEncryption() upon receiving the incoming connection through QTcpServer.

◆ ignoreSslErrors [1/2]

void QSslSocket::ignoreSslErrors ( )

slot

This slot tells QSslSocket to ignore errors during QSslSocket's handshake phase and continue connecting.

If you want to continue with the connection even if errors occur during the handshake phase, then you must call this slot, either from a slot connected to sslErrors(), or before the handshake phase. If you don't call this slot, either in response to errors or before the handshake, the connection will be dropped after the sslErrors() signal has been emitted.

If there are no errors during the SSL handshake phase (i.e., the identity of the peer is established with no problems), QSslSocket will not emit the sslErrors() signal, and it is unnecessary to call this function.

Warning: Be sure to always let the user inspect the errors reported by the sslErrors() signal, and only call this method upon confirmation from the user that proceeding is ok. If there are unexpected errors, the connection should be aborted. Calling this method without inspecting the actual errors will most likely pose a security risk for your application. Use it with great care!

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Since: 4.6

This method tells QSslSocket to ignore only the errors given in errors.

Note: Because most SSL errors are associated with a certificate, for most of them you must set the expected certificate this SSL error is related to. If, for instance, you want to connect to a server that uses a self-signed certificate, consider the following snippet:

QList<QSslCertificate> cert = QSslCertificate::fromPath("server-certificate.pem"_L1);
QSslError error(QSslError::SelfSignedCertificate, cert.at(0));
QList<QSslError> expectedSslErrors;
expectedSslErrors.append(error);

socket.ignoreSslErrors(expectedSslErrors);
socket.connectToHostEncrypted("server.tld", 443);

◆ peerCertificate()

QSslCertificate QSslSocket::peerCertificate ( ) const

Returns the peer's digital certificate (i.e., the immediate certificate of the host you are connected to), or a null certificate, if the peer has not assigned a certificate.

The peer certificate is checked automatically during the handshake phase, so this function is normally used to fetch the certificate for display or for connection diagnostic purposes. It contains information about the peer, including its host name, the certificate issuer, and the peer's public key.

Because the peer certificate is set during the handshake phase, it is safe to access the peer certificate from a slot connected to the sslErrors() signal or the encrypted() signal.

If a null certificate is returned, it can mean the SSL handshake failed, or it can mean the host you are connected to doesn't have a certificate, or it can mean there is no connection.

If you want to check the peer's complete chain of certificates, use peerCertificateChain() to get them all at once.

Certificates contain information about the peer and the certificate issuers, including host name, issuer names, and issuer public keys.

The peer certificates are set in QSslSocket during the handshake phase, so it is safe to call this function from a slot connected to the sslErrors() signal or the encrypted() signal.

If an empty list is returned, it can mean the SSL handshake failed, or it can mean the host you are connected to doesn't have a certificate, or it can mean there is no connection.

◆ peerVerifyError

void QSslSocket::peerVerifyError ( const QSslError & error )

signal

Since: 4.4

QSslSocket can emit this signal several times during the SSL handshake, before encryption has been established, to indicate that an error has occurred while establishing the identity of the peer. The error is usually an indication that QSslSocket is unable to securely identify the peer.

This signal provides you with an early indication when something's wrong. By connecting to this signal, you can manually choose to tear down the connection from inside the connected slot before the handshake has completed. If no action is taken, QSslSocket will proceed to emitting QSslSocket::sslErrors().

◆ peerVerifyMode()

QSslSocket::PeerVerifyMode QSslSocket::peerVerifyMode ( ) const

Since: 4.4

Returns the socket's verify mode. This mode decides whether QSslSocket should request a certificate from the peer (i.e., the client requests a certificate from the server, or a server requesting a certificate from the client), and whether it should require that this certificate is valid.

The default mode is AutoVerifyPeer, which tells QSslSocket to use VerifyPeer for clients and QueryPeer for servers.

◆ preSharedKeyAuthenticationRequired

void QSslSocket::preSharedKeyAuthenticationRequired ( QSslPreSharedKeyAuthenticator * authenticator )

signal

Since: 5.5

QSslSocket emits this signal when it negotiates a PSK ciphersuite, and therefore a PSK authentication is then required.

When using PSK, the client must send to the server a valid identity and a valid pre shared key, in order for the SSL handshake to continue. Applications can provide this information in a slot connected to this signal, by filling in the passed authenticator object according to their needs.

Note: Ignoring this signal, or failing to provide the required credentials, will cause the handshake to fail, and therefore the connection to be aborted.; The authenticator object is owned by the socket and must not be deleted by the application.

The socket's cipher for the session is set during the handshake phase. The cipher is used to encrypt and decrypt data transmitted through the socket.

QSslSocket also provides functions for setting the ordered list of ciphers from which the handshake phase will eventually select the session cipher. This ordered list must be in place before the handshake phase begins.

Since: 6.1 Returns true if a backend with name backendName was set as active backend. backendName must be one of names returned by availableBackends().

Note: An application cannot mix different backends simultaneously. This implies that a non-default backend must be selected prior to any use of QSslSocket or related classes, e.g. QSslCertificate or QSslKey.

◆ setLocalCertificate() [1/2]

void QSslSocket::setLocalCertificate ( const QSslCertificate & certificate )

Sets the socket's local certificate to certificate.

The local certificate is necessary if you need to confirm your identity to the peer. It is used together with the private key; if you set the local certificate, you must also set the private key.

The local certificate and private key are always necessary for server sockets, but are also rarely used by client sockets if the server requires the client to authenticate.

Note: Secure Transport SSL backend on macOS may update the default keychain (the default is probably your login keychain) by importing your local certificates and keys. This can also result in system dialogs showing up and asking for permission when your application is using these private keys. If such behavior is undesired, set the QT_SSL_USE_TEMPORARY_KEYCHAIN environment variable to a non-zero value; this will prompt QSslSocket to use its own temporary keychain.

◆ setPeerVerifyDepth()

void QSslSocket::setPeerVerifyDepth ( int depth )

Since: 4.4

Sets the maximum number of certificates in the peer's certificate chain to be checked during the SSL handshake phase, to depth. Setting a depth of 0 means that no maximum depth is set, indicating that the whole certificate chain should be checked.

The certificates are checked in issuing order, starting with the peer's own certificate, then its issuer's certificate, and so on.

◆ setPeerVerifyMode()

void QSslSocket::setPeerVerifyMode ( QSslSocket::PeerVerifyMode mode )

Sets the socket's verify mode to mode. This mode decides whether QSslSocket should request a certificate from the peer (i.e., the client requests a certificate from the server, or a server requesting a certificate from the client), and whether it should require that this certificate is valid.

The default mode is AutoVerifyPeer, which tells QSslSocket to use VerifyPeer for clients and QueryPeer for servers.

Setting this mode after encryption has started has no effect on the current connection.

void QSslSocket::setPrivateKey ( const QSslKey & key )

Sets the socket's private \l {QSslKey} {key} to key.

The private key and the local \l {QSslCertificate} {certificate} are used by clients and servers that must prove their identity to SSL peers.

Both the key and the local certificate are required if you are creating an SSL server socket. If you are creating an SSL client socket, the key and local certificate are required if your client must identify itself to an SSL server.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.Reads the string in file fileName and decodes it using a specified algorithm and encoding format to construct an \l {QSslKey} {SSL key}.

If the encoded key is encrypted, passPhrase is used to decrypt it.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ sslErrors

void QSslSocket::sslErrors ( const QList< QSslError > & errors )

signal

QSslSocket emits this signal after the SSL handshake to indicate that one or more errors have occurred while establishing the identity of the peer.

The errors are usually an indication that QSslSocket is unable to securely identify the peer. Unless any action is taken, the connection will be dropped after this signal has been emitted.

If you want to continue connecting despite the errors that have occurred, you must call QSslSocket::ignoreSslErrors() from inside a slot connected to this signal. If you need to access the error list at a later point, you can call sslHandshakeErrors().

errors contains one or more errors that prevent QSslSocket from verifying the identity of the peer.

Note: You cannot use Qt::QueuedConnection when connecting to this signal, or calling QSslSocket::ignoreSslErrors() will have no effect.

◆ startServerEncryption

void QSslSocket::startServerEncryption ( )

slot

Starts a delayed SSL handshake for a server connection.

This function can be called when the socket is in the \l ConnectedState but still in \l UnencryptedMode. If it is not connected or it is already encrypted, the function has no effect.

For server sockets, calling this function is the only way to initiate the SSL handshake. Most servers will call this function immediately upon receiving a connection, or as a result of having received a protocol-specific command to enter SSL mode (e.g, the server may respond to receiving the string "STARTTLS\\r\\n" by calling this function).

The most common way to implement an SSL server is to create a subclass of QTcpServer and reimplement QTcpServer::incomingConnection(). The returned socket descriptor is then passed to QSslSocket::setSocketDescriptor().
