curl FTPS with client certificate to a vsftpd
- by weeheavy
I'd like to authenticate FTP clients either via username+password or a client certificate. Only FTPS is allowed.
User/password works, but while testing with curl (I don't have another option) and a client certificate, I need to pass a user. Isn't it technically possible to authenticate only by providing a certificate?
vsftpd.conf
passwd_chroot_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
ssl_enable=YES
rsa_cert_file=usrlocal/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem
force_local_data_ssl=YES
force_local_logins_ssl=YES
Tested with curl -v -k -E client-crt.pem --ftp-ssl-reqd ftp://server:21/testfile the output is:
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Server hello (2):
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, CERT (11):

This is theoretically ok, as i forbid anonymous access. If I specify a user with -u username:pass it works, but it would without a certificate too.
The client certificate seems to be ok, it looks like this:
client-crt.pem
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
content
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
content
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
What am I missing? Thanks in advance. (The OS is Solaris 10 SPARC).
