gnutls_srp_se...ials_function(3) gnutlsgnutls_srp_se...ials_function(3)gnutls_srp_set_server_credentials_function - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>voidgnutls_srp_set_server_credentials_function(gnutls_srp_server_credentials_tcred, gnutls_srp_server_credentials_function *func);
gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t cred is agnutls_srp_server_credentials_ttype. gnutls_srp_server_credentials_function * func is the callback function
This function can be used to set a callback to retrieve the user's SRP credentials. The callback's function form is: int (*callback)(gnutls_session_t, const char* username, gnutls_datum_t *salt, gnutls_datum_t *verifier, gnutls_datum_t *generator, gnutls_datum_t *prime);username contains the actual username. Thesalt ,verifier ,generator andprime must be filled in using thegnutls_malloc(). For convenienceprime andgenerator may also be one of the static parameters defined in gnutls.h. Initially, the data field is NULL in everygnutls_datum_t structure that the callback has to fill in. When the callback is done GnuTLS deallocates all of those buffers which are non-NULL, regardless of the return value. In order to prevent attackers from guessing valid usernames, if a user does not exist, g and n values should be filled in using a random user's parameters. In that case the callback must return the special value (1). Seegnutls_srp_set_server_fake_salt_seed too. If this is not required for your application, return a negative number from the callback to abort the handshake. The callback function will only be called once per handshake. The callback function should return 0 on success, while -1 indicates an error.
