H A D | tlscreds.h | 13f12430d48b62e2304e0e5a7c607279af68b98a Mon Jun 06 08:52:07 UTC 2016 Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> crypto: add support for TLS priority string override
The gnutls default priority is either "NORMAL" (most historical versions of gnutls) which is a built-in label in gnutls code, or "@SYSTEM" (latest gnutls on Fedora at least) which refers to an admin customizable entry in a gnutls config file.
Regardless of which default is used by a distro, they are both global defaults applying to all applications using gnutls. If a single application on the system needs to use a weaker set of crypto priorities, this potentially forces the weakness onto all applications. Or conversely if a single application wants a strong default than all others, it can't do this via the global config file.
This adds an extra parameter to the tls credential object which allows the mgmt app / user to explicitly provide a priority string to QEMU when configuring TLS.
For example, to use the "NORMAL" priority, but disable SSL 3.0 one can now configure QEMU thus:
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\ priority="NORMAL:-VERS-SSL3.0" \ ..other args...
If creating tls-creds-anon, whatever priority the user specifies will always have "+ANON-DH" appended to it, since that's mandatory to make the anonymous credentials work.
