Below is my code for an HTTPS server in Go. The server requires the client to provide an SSL certificate, but doesn't verify the certificate (by design).
You can generate a private/public key pair as follows if you'd like to give it a try:
$ openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048
$ openssl req -new -x509 -key private.pem -out public.pem -days 365
Does anyone know how I can access the client certificate in the handler? Let's say I would like to report some properties about the certificate the client presented back to the client.
Thanks, Chris.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"crypto/tls"
"net/http"
)
const (
PORT = ":8443"
PRIV_KEY = "./private.pem"
PUBLIC_KEY = "./public.pem"
)
func rootHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprint(w, "Nobody should read this.")
}
func main() {
server := &http.Server{
TLSConfig: &tls.Config{
ClientAuth: tls.RequireAnyClientCert,
MinVersion: tls.VersionTLS12,
},
Addr: "127.0.0.1:8443",
}
http.HandleFunc("/", rootHandler)
err := server.ListenAndServeTLS(PUBLIC_KEY, PRIV_KEY)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("main(): %s
", err)
}
}
