SSL support for RPC dropped
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
SSL support for RPC, previously enabled by the option `rpcssl` has been dropped
|
||||
from both the client and the server. This was done in preparation for removing
|
||||
the dependency on OpenSSL for the daemon completely.
|
||||
|
||||
Trying to use `rpcssl` will result in an error:
|
||||
|
||||
Error: SSL mode for RPC (-rpcssl) is no longer supported.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are one of the few people that relies on this feature, a flexible
|
||||
migration path is to use `stunnel`. This is an utility that can tunnel
|
||||
arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL. On e.g. Ubuntu it can be installed with:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install stunnel4
|
||||
|
||||
Then, to tunnel a SSL connection on 28332 to a RPC server bound on localhost on port 18332 do:
|
||||
|
||||
stunnel -d 28332 -r 127.0.0.1:18332 -p stunnel.pem -P ''
|
||||
|
||||
It can also be set up system-wide in inetd style.
