Bacula TLS (Transport Layer Security) is built-in network
encryption code to provide secure network transport similar to
that offered by {\bf stunnel} or {\bf ssh}. The Bacula code was
written by Landon Fuller.

Supported features of this code include: 
\begin{itemize} 
\item Client/Server TLS Requirement Negotiation 
\item TLSv1 Connections with Server and Client Certificate
Validation 
\item Forward Secrecy Support via Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Keying 
\end{itemize}

This document will refer to both "server" and "client" contexts.  These
terms refer to the accepting and initiating peer, respectively.

Diffie-Hellman anonymous ciphers are not supported by this code.  The
use of DH anonymous ciphers increases the code complexity and places
explicit trust upon the two-way CRAM-MD5 implementation.  CRAM-MD5 is
subject to known plaintext attacks, and it should be considered
considerably less secure than PKI certificate-based authentication.

Appropriate autoconf macros have been added to detect and use OpenSSL  
if enabled on the {\bf ./configure} line with {\bf \verb?--?enable-openssl}

\subsection*{TLS Configuration Directives}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{TLS Configuration Directives}
Additional configuration directives have been added to all the daemons
(Director, File daemon, and Storage daemon) as well as the various
different Console programs.
These new directives are defined as follows:

\begin{description}
\item [TLS Enable = \lt{}yes|no\gt{}]
Enable TLS support.

\item [TLS Require = \lt{}yes|no\gt{}]
Require TLS connections.

\item [TLS Certificate = \lt{}Directory\gt{}]
Path to a PEM encoded TLS certificate.  It can be used as either a client
or server certificate. PEM stands for Privacy Enhanced Mail, but in 
this context refers to how the certificates are encoded. It is used
because PEM files are base64 encoded and hence ASCII text based
rather than binary. They may also contain encrypted information.

\item [TLS Key = \lt{}Directory\gt{}]
Path to a PEM encoded TLS private key.  It must correspond to the TLS
certificate.

\item [TLS Verify Peer = \lt{}yes|no\gt{}]
Verify peer certificate.  Instructs server to request and verify the
client's x509 certificate.  Any client certificate signed by a known-CA
will be accepted unless the TLS Allowed CN configuration directive is used,
in which case the client certificate must correspond to the Allowed
Common Name specified. This directive is valid only for a server
and not in a client context.

\item [TLS Allowed CN = \lt{}string list\gt{}]
Common name attribute of allowed peer certificates.  If this directive is
specified, all client certificates will be verified against this list.
This directive may be specified more than once. It is not valid in a client
context.

\item [TLS CA Certificate File = \lt{}Filename\gt{}]
The full path and filename specifying a
PEM encoded TLS CA certificate(s).  Multiple certificates are
permitted in the file.  One of \emph{TLS CA Certificate File} or \emph{TLS
CA Certificate Dir} are required in a server context if \emph{TLS
Verify Peer} (see above) is also specified, and are always required in a client
context.

\item [TLS CA Certificate Dir = \lt{}Directory\gt{}]
Full path to TLS CA certificate directory.  In the current implementation,
certificates must be stored PEM encoded with OpenSSL-compatible hashes,
which is the subject name's hash and an extension of {bf .0}.
One of \emph{TLS CA Certificate File} or \emph{TLS CA Certificate Dir} are
required in a server context if \emph{TLS Verify Peer} is also specified,
and are always required in a client context.

\item [TLS DH File = \lt{}Directory\gt{}]
Path to PEM encoded Diffie-Hellman parameter file.  If this directive is
specified, DH key exchange will be used for the ephemeral keying, allowing
for forward secrecy of communications.  DH key exchange adds an additional
level of security because the key used for encryption/decryption by the
server and the client is computed on each end and thus is never passed over
the network if Diffie-Hellman key exchange is used.  Even if DH key
exchange is not used, the encryption/decryption key is always passed
encrypted.  This directive is only valid within a server context.

To generate the parameter file, you
may use openssl:

\begin{verbatim} 
   openssl dhparam -out dh1024.pem -5 1024 
\end{verbatim}

\end{description}

\subsection*{Creating a Self-signed Certificate}
\index[general]{Creating a Self-signed Certificate }
\index[general]{Certificate!Creating a Self-signed }
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Creating a Self-signed Certificate}

You may create a self-signed certificate for use with the Bacula TLS that
will permit you to make it function, but will not allow certificate
validation.  The .pem file containing both the certificate and the key
valid for 10 years can be made with the following:

\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
   openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out bacula.pem -keyout bacula.pem -days 3650
\end{verbatim}
\normalsize

The above script will ask you a number of questions. You may simply answer
each of them by entering a return, or if you wish you may enter your own data.

Note, however, that self-signed certificates will only work for the
outgoing end of connections.  For example, in the case of the Director
making a connection to a File Daemon, the File Daemon may be configured to
allow self-signed certifictes, but the certificate being sed by the
Director must be signed by a certificate that is explicitly trusted on the
File Daemon end.

This is neccessary to prevent ``man in the middle'' attacks from tools such
as \elink{ettercap}{http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/}.  Essentially, if the
Director does not verify that it is talking to a trusted remote endpoint,
it can be tricked into talking to a malicious 3rd party who is relaying and
capturing all traffic by presenting its own certificates to the Director
and File Daemons.  The only way to prevent this is by using trusted
certificates, so that the man in the middle is incapable of spoofing the
connection using his own.

To get a trusted certificate (CA or Certificate Authority signed
certificate), you will either need to purchase certificates signed by a
commercial CA or find a friend that has setup his own CA or become a CA
yourself, and thus you can sign all your own certificates.  The book
OpenSSL by John Viega, Matt Mesier \& Pravir Chandra from O'Reilly explains
how to do it, or you can read the documentation provided in the Open-source
PKI Book project at Source Forge: \elink{
http://ospkibook.sourceforge.net/docs/OSPKI-2.4.7/OSPKI-html/ospki-book.htm}
{http://ospkibook.sourceforge.net/docs/OSPKI-2.4.7/OSPKI-html/ospki-book.htm}.
Note, this link may change. 

The program TinyCA has a very nice Graphical User Interface 
that allows you to easily setup and maintain your own CA.

\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Getting a CA Signed Certificate}

The process of getting a certificate that is signed by a CA is quite a bit
more complicated. You can purchase one from quite a number of PKI vendors, but
that is not at all necessary for use with Bacula. To get a CA signed
certificate, you will either need to find a friend that has setup his own CA
or to become a CA yourself, and thus you can sign all your own certificates.
The book OpenSSL by John Viega, Matt Mesier \& Pravir Chandra from O'Reilly
