SSL Socket connection problems

[wayne7b]

Need to conduct an SSL Socket session via PHP.

 

The following openssl command line works:

 

openssl s_client -cert '/path/to/cert/cert.pem'  -key '/path/to/key/key.pem'  -CAfile /path/to/ca/ca.crt -connect my.host.tld:12345

 

But I can't seem to "make it happen" via PHP.

 

After reading that fsockopen() does not support an SSL "context" parameter in PHP 5, I tried a simpler test via stream_context_create() and stream_socket_client(), etc., but it seems that I can't supply the same arguments/opitons to stream_context_create as I can to openssl. For instance, stream_context_create seems not to allow setting a "key" option, but seems to require cert passphrase which the working ssl command does not require (not to mention that I do not know the password for the cert. 

 

It would be really cool if I could so soemthing like this, but I'm stuck as to how to resolve the "key vs. cert password" issue:

 

<?php

 

$host = 'my.host.tld';

$port = 12345;

$timeout = 10;

 

$cert = '/path/to/cert/cert.pem';

$key = '/path/to/cafile/cafile.pem';

$cafile = '/path/to/cafile/cafile.pem';

 

$context = stream_context_create(array('ssl'=>array('local_cert'=>$cert,

                                                    'key'=>'$key,

                                                    'cafile'=>'$cafile,

)));

 

if ($fp = stream_socket_client('ssl://'.$host.':'.$port, $errno, $errstr, 30,

        STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context)) {

    fwrite($fp, "\n");

    echo fread($fp, 26);

    fclose($fp);

} else {

  echo "ERROR: $errno - $errstr<br />\n";

}

 

?>

 

Any help appreciated.
