21 /*! \headerfile libpwmd.h
23 * libpwmd is a library making it easy for applications to use the pwmd
24 * server. Pwmd version 3.0 or later is required; either locally or remotely.
27 /*! \section threads Threads
29 * \ref libpwmd should be thread-safe on a per handle bases. Meaning that only
30 * one thread should access a \ref pwm_t handle at a time.
33 /*! \section remote Remote Connection Details
35 * There are two methods of connecting to a remote pwmd server: over SSH
36 * and over TLS.
38 * Connections over SSH are done by creating an SSH channel to spawn a
39 * shell that executes a proxy server to connect to the pwmd local
40 * Unix Domain Socket. Authentication is done by using SSH public key
41 * (see \ref ssh-keygen(1)) authentication and verifying the host key
42 * against a local OpenSSH known hosts formatted file.
44 * An unknown servers public key can be added to a known hosts file after user
45 * confirmation by setting the callback function \ref pwmd_knownhost_cb_t
46 * before connecting to the unknown host.
48 * On the server side you'll need a proxy server to connect to the pwmd
49 * server. Below is an example of an \ref authorized_keys(5) entry that will
50 * do this. The \a public_key portion should be the same as the contents of
51 * the \ref ssh-keygen(1) \a identity.pub file generated on the client
52 * machine. The private key should be passed as the \a identity parameter to
53 * \ref pwmd_connect():
55 * \code
56 * command="socat UNIX-CONNECT:$HOME/.pwmd/socket -" <public_key> ...
57 * \endcode
59 * \note Only an SSH identity without a passphrase is supported. For now
60 * anyway. This is a limitation of libssh2 (version 1.2.8 as of this writing).
62 * \version 6.0.3
63 * The first version to use the OpenSSH known hosts file format exclusively.
64 * Earlier versions used only an SHA1 hash of the host key.
66 * Pwmd itself can accept TLS connections so no proxy program is
67 * needed as is when using SSH. Like SSH connections, TLS connections
68 * are created with \ref pwmd_connect(). You will need to generate a
69 * client key and X509 certificate and then sign it with the same
70 * certificate authority (CA) that the pwmd server certificate was
71 * signed with.
73 * Certificates are similar to SSH public and private keys but a little harder
74 * to setup correctly. See the \ref certtool(1) (recommended) and \ref
75 * openssl(1) manual pages for details.
78 /*! \section pinentry Pinentry Details
80 * \ref pinentry(1) is a program that prompts the user for input which is
81 * normally a passphrase or a confirmation. libpwmd can use this program
82 * either locally (X11 forwarding is not yet supported) or have the pwmd
83 * server or gpg-agent use it's pinentry to retrieve a passphrase when
84 * needed.
86 * There are a few options that tell pinentry how and where to prompt for a
87 * needed passphrase. See the \ref pwmd_option_t section for details. These
88 * options are only sent to pwmd in \ref pwmd_open() and only when pinentry
89 * use has not been disabled and when not over an remote connnection.
91 * Some pinentry options may also be specified in the local configuration file
92 * \a "~/.pwmd/pinentry.conf". These options are initial values for each
93 * pinentry invokation (not retries) and may be changed by setting the
94 * appropriate \ref pwmd_option_t. Options and values are separated with a '='
95 * on a single line. Unrecognized options are ignored. Here are the recognized
96 * options:
98 * \param PATH The full path to the location of the pinentry binary. Only
99 * useful for the local pinentry.
100 * \param DISPLAY The X11 display to use.
101 * \param TTYNAME The full path to the tty that pinentry should prompt on.
102 * \param TTYTYPE The terminal type of the tty which is required if DISPLAY is
103 * not set.
104 * \param LC_MESSAGES Adjust for the current locale.
105 * \param LC_CTYPE Adjust for the current locale.
107 * \filepath
109 * \note The initial values for the pinentry TTY, TERM and DISPLAY are set
110 * during \ref pwmd_new() depending on the current environment. They can be
111 * reset or changed as needed.
113 * \note After establishing a remote connection, pwmd's pinentry is disabled
114 * by passing the "--no-pinentry" option to the OPEN protocol command during
115 * \ref pwmd_open() since X11 forwarding has not been implemented. A local
116 * pinentry will be used in the case of a remote connection.
118 * \see \ref remote
121 /*! \section Errors
123 * libpwmd uses libgpg-error for all error codes. Error codes can be
124 * described by using \ref gpg_strerror(), or the thread-safe \ref
125 * gpg_strerror_r().
127 * \note libgpg-error returns an error code as a bitmask of an error source
128 * and the error code. Determining the error source can help you find where
129 * the error occured, beit from \ref pinentry(1), \ref gpg-agent(1), \ref
130 * libgcrypt, \ref pwmd(1) or \ref libpwmd(3). pwmd uses the \ref
131 * GPG_ERR_SOURCE_USER_1 error source and libpwmd uses \ref
132 * GPG_ERR_SOURCE_USER_2. To find the error source of an error code the \ref
133 * gpg-error(1) command line utility may be of use. Also see the \ref
134 * libgpg-error documentation for error code manipulation.
