Matching against fields other than DN / emailAddress in TLS_EXTERNAL #29

Closed andrejpodzimek closed 2 years ago

andrejpodzimek commented 3 years ago

This is a humble feature request. (It may be already possible / implemented, but I was unable to find it in the documentation.)

OpenSSL's ca man page says: …it is good policy just having the e-mail set into the altName extension of the certificate… (In other words, email_in_dn should be set to no in in the CA's configuration.)

Unfortunately, it seems that certificates adhering to this^^^ policy cannot be used for certificate authentication in Courier.

Is it possible to reference a X509v3 Subject Alternative Name (SAN) (which reads email:user@domain.org in OpenSSL's output) using TLS_EXTERNAL? What would be the syntax?

andrejpodzimek commented 3 years ago

And it looks like TLS_EXTERNAL is only inspected in libs/imap/externalauth.c, but the configuration file comments in esmtpd-ssl suggest that it should exist also in SMTP.

svarshavchik commented 3 years ago

That code is used in the smtp server too. No, currently there's no syntax for using any other field as the authentication key.

If someone gets around to submitting a patch or a PR, I'll review it.
