Hello All, I work for the State of Wisconsin and we are trying to build a reference implementation using python. Our goals are this:
1) establish an HTTPS connection between our client and ourselves 2) exchange client and server certificates to perform mutual authentication We only need to write the client in python. The client should check the server certificate, verify that the date range and common name are valid. Then it should confirm that the server certificate is valid according to a Certificate Revocation List. After writing a basic script using HTTPSConnection, I found this in the docs: Warning: This does not do any certificate verification! I then tried to do the same using twisted, m2crypto and a few other projects. I am really hitting a wall here. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have a client cert, private key and url I am trying to hit. How can I fulfill the requirements I have above using python? I have done most of this in Java, but we would prefer a python implementation to distribute. Thanks, Yogesh Chawla -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
