NAME

       nbd_set_tls - enable or require TLS (authentication and encryption)

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        int nbd_set_tls (
              struct nbd_handle *h, int tls
            );

DESCRIPTION

       Enable or require TLS (authenticated and encrypted connections) to the NBD server.  The
       possible settings are:

       "LIBNBD_TLS_DISABLE"
           Disable TLS.  (The default setting, unless using nbd_connect_uri(3) with a URI that
           requires TLS).

           This setting is also necessary if you use nbd_set_opt_mode(3) and want to interact in
           plaintext with a server that implements the NBD protocol's "SELECTIVETLS" mode, prior
           to enabling TLS with nbd_opt_starttls(3).  Most NBD servers with TLS support prefer
           the NBD protocol's "FORCEDTLS" mode, so this sort of manual interaction tends to be
           useful mainly during integration testing.

       "LIBNBD_TLS_ALLOW"
           Enable TLS if possible.

           This option is insecure (or best effort) in that in some cases it will fall back to an
           unencrypted and/or unauthenticated connection if TLS could not be established.  Use
           "LIBNBD_TLS_REQUIRE" below if the connection must be encrypted.

           Some servers will drop the connection if TLS fails so fallback may not be possible.

       "LIBNBD_TLS_REQUIRE"
           Require an encrypted and authenticated TLS connection.  Always fail to connect if the
           connection is not encrypted and authenticated.

       As well as calling this you may also need to supply the path to the certificates directory
       (nbd_set_tls_certificates(3)), the username (nbd_set_tls_username(3)) and/or the Pre-
       Shared Keys (PSK) file (nbd_set_tls_psk_file(3)).  For now, when using nbd_connect_uri(3),
       any URI query parameters related to TLS are not handled automatically.  Setting the level
       higher than zero will fail if libnbd was not compiled against gnutls; you can test whether
       this is the case with nbd_supports_tls(3).

RETURN VALUE

       If the call is successful the function returns 0.

ERRORS

       On error "-1" is returned.

       Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details of the error.

       The following parameters must not be NULL: "h".  For more information see "Non-NULL
       parameters" in libnbd(3).

HANDLE STATE

       The handle must be newly created, otherwise this call will return an error.

VERSION

       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.

       If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check if the following
       macro is defined:

        #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_SET_TLS 1

EXAMPLE

       This example is also available as examples/encryption.c in the libnbd source code.

        /* An example showing how to connect to a server which is
         * using TLS encryption.
         *
         * This requires nbdkit, and psktool from gnutls.
         *
         * Both libnbd and nbdkit support TLS-PSK which is a
         * simpler-to-deploy form of encryption.  (Of course
         * certificate-based encryption is also supported, but
         * it’s harder to make a self-contained example).
