30 * @mainpage About
31 *
32 * libnetconf2 is a NETCONF library in C handling NETCONF authentication and all NETCONF
Radek Krejcib62d5b42017-05-19 10:20:00 +020033 * RPC communication both server and client-side. Note that NETCONF datastore implementation
34 * is not a part of this library. The library supports both NETCONF 1.0
35 * ([RFC 4741](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4741)) as well as NETCONF 1.1
36 * ([RFC 6241](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241)).

82 * @page howtoinit Init and Thread-safety Information
83 *
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +020084 * Before working with the library, it must be initialized using ::nc_client_init()
85 * or ::nc_server_init(). Based on how the library was compiled, also _libssh_ and/or
Radek Krejci5cebc6b2017-05-26 13:24:38 +020086 * _libssh_/_libcrypto_ are initialized (for multi-threaded use) too. To prevent
87 * any reachable memory at the end of your application, there are complementary
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +020088 * destroy functions (::nc_server_destroy() and ::nc_client_destroy() available. If your
Radek Krejci5cebc6b2017-05-26 13:24:38 +020089 * application is multi-threaded, call the destroy functions in the main thread,
90 * after all the other threads have ended. In every other thread you should call
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +020091 * ::nc_thread_destroy() just before it exits.
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +010092 *
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +010093 * If _libnetconf2_ is used in accordance with this information, there should
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +010094 * not be memory leaks of any kind at program exit. For thread-safety details
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +010095 * of _libssh_, _libssl_, and _libcrypto_, please refer to the corresponding project
96 * documentation. _libnetconf2_ thread-safety information is below.
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +010097 *
Radek Krejci5cebc6b2017-05-26 13:24:38 +020098 * Client
99 * ------
100 *
Radek Krejcifd5b6682017-06-13 15:52:53 +0200101 * Optionally, a client can specify two alternative ways to get schemas needed when connecting
102 * with a server. The primary way is to read local files in searchpath (and its subdirectories)
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200103 * specified via ::nc_client_set_schema_searchpath(). Alternatively, _libnetconf2_ can use callback
104 * provided via ::nc_client_set_schema_callback(). If these ways do not succeed and the server
Radek Krejcifd5b6682017-06-13 15:52:53 +0200105 * implements NETCONF \<get-schema\> operation, the schema is retrieved from the server and stored
106 * localy into the searchpath (if specified) for a future use. If none of these methods succeed to
107 * load particular schema, the data from this schema are ignored during the communication with the
108 * server.
Radek Krejci5cebc6b2017-05-26 13:24:38 +0200109 *
Radek Krejcifd5b6682017-06-13 15:52:53 +0200110 * Besides the mentioned setters, there are many other @ref howtoclientssh "SSH", @ref howtoclienttls "TLS"
111 * and @ref howtoclientch "Call Home" getter/setter functions to manipulate with various settings. All these
112 * settings are internally placed in a thread-specific context so they are independent and
Radek Krejci5cebc6b2017-05-26 13:24:38 +0200113 * initialized to the default values within each new thread. However, the context can be shared among
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200114 * the threads using ::nc_client_get_thread_context() and ::nc_client_set_thread_context() functions. In such
Radek Krejci5cebc6b2017-05-26 13:24:38 +0200115 * a case, be careful and avoid concurrent execution of the mentioned setters/getters and functions
116 * creating connection (no matter if it is a standard NETCONF connection or Call Home).
117 *
118 * In the client, it is thread-safe to work with distinguish NETCONF sessions since the client
119 * settings are thread-specific as described above.
120 *
121 * Server
122 * ------
123 *
124 * Server is __FULLY__ thread-safe meaning you can set all the (thread-shared in contrast to
125 * client) options simultaneously while listening for or accepting new sessions or
Michal Vaskoade892d2017-02-22 13:40:35 +0100126 * polling the existing ones. It is even safe to poll one session in several
127 * pollsession structures or one pollsession structure in several threads. Generally,
128 * servers can use more threads without any problems as long as they keep their workflow sane
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +0100129 * (behavior such as freeing sessions only after no thread uses them or similar).

159 *
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100160 * To connect to a NETCONF server, a NETCONF session must be established,
161 * which requires a working transport session. It is possible to create
162 * NETCONF sessions with SSH (using _libssh_) or TLS (using _libssl/libcrypto_)
163 * as the underlying transport protocol. It is also possible to establish
164 * the transport protocol outside _libnetconf2_ and then provide these file
165 * descriptors (FD) for full NETCONF session creation.
166 *
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +0100167 * There are a lot of options for both an SSH and a TLS client. All of them
168 * have setters and getters so that there is no need to duplicate them in
169 * a client.

176 * options, there are sensible default values for all the basic ones.
177 * Except all the SSH options, optionally some authetication callbacks can be set,
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +0100178 * which are particulary useful in automated clients (passwords cannot be

180 * other way than from standard terminal input.
181 *
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100182 * Having the default options or changing any unsuitable ones, there are 2 functions
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200183 * to use for a new server connection. ::nc_connect_ssh() is the standard function
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100184 * that creates sessions using the set options. If there are some options, which
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200185 * cannot be changed with the provided API, there is ::nc_connect_libssh() available.
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100186 * It requires a _libssh_ session, in which all the SSH options can be modified
187 * and even the connection established. This allows for full customization and
188 * should fit any specific situation.
189 *
190 * New NETCONF sessions can also be created on existing authenticated SSH sessions.

319 * Init
320 * ====
321 *
Michal Vasko93224072021-11-09 12:14:28 +0100322 * Server must start with [initialization](@ref howtoinit). Its capabilities are
323 * determined by the context used when accepting new NETCONF sessions. Few capabilities that
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100324 * cannot be learnt from the context are set with separate functions
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200325 * ::nc_server_set_capab_withdefaults() and generally ::nc_server_set_capability().
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100326 * Timeout for receiving the _hello_ message on a new session can be set
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200327 * by ::nc_server_set_hello_timeout() and the timeout for disconnecting
328 * an inactive session by ::nc_server_set_idle_timeout().
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +0100329 *
330 * Context does not only determine server modules, but its overall
331 * functionality as well. For every RPC the server should support,
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200332 * an nc_rpc_clb callback should be set on that node in the context using ::nc_set_rpc_callback().
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +0100333 * Server then calls these as appropriate [during poll](@ref howtoservercomm).
334 *
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100335 * Just like in the [client](@ref howtoclient), you can let _libnetconf2_
336 * establish SSH or TLS transport or do it yourself and only provide the file
337 * descriptors of the connection.
338 *
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +0100339 * Server options can be only set, there are no getters.
340 *
Michal Vaskod31b76e2017-02-15 12:18:06 +0100341 * To be able to accept any connections, endpoints must first be added
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200342 * with ::nc_server_add_endpt() and configured with ::nc_server_endpt_set_address()
343 * and ::nc_server_endpt_set_port(). For unix sockets, ::nc_server_endpt_set_perms()
344 * is available to set the unix socket file permissions, and ::nc_server_endpt_set_port()
Olivier Matzac7fa2f2018-10-11 10:02:04 +0200345 * is invalid.

365 * ===
366 *
Michal Vaskod31b76e2017-02-15 12:18:06 +0100367 * To successfully accept an SSH session you must set at least the host key using
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200368 * ::nc_server_ssh_endpt_add_hostkey(), which are ordered. This way you simply add

395 * TLS
396 * ===
397 *
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100398 * TLS works with endpoints too, but its options differ
399 * significantly from the SSH ones, especially in the _cert-to-name_
Michal Vaskofdfd9dd2016-02-29 10:18:46 +0100400 * options that TLS uses to derive usernames from client certificates.
Michal Vaskod31b76e2017-02-15 12:18:06 +0100401 * So, after starting listening on an endpoint you need to set the server
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200402 * certificate (::nc_server_tls_endpt_set_server_cert()). Its actual content
Michal Vaskod31b76e2017-02-15 12:18:06 +0100403 * together with the matching private key will be loaded using a callback
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200404 * from ::nc_server_tls_set_server_cert_clb(). Additional certificates needed
Andrew Langefeld440b6c72018-08-27 16:26:20 -0500405 * for the client to verify the server's certificate chain can be loaded using
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200406 * a callback from ::nc_server_tls_set_server_cert_chain_clb().
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100407 *
408 * To accept client certificates, they must first be considered trusted,
409 * which you have three ways of achieving. You can add each of their Certificate Authority
410 * certificates to the trusted ones or mark a specific client certificate
Michal Vaskod31b76e2017-02-15 12:18:06 +0100411 * as trusted. Lastly, you can set paths with all the trusted CA certificates
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200412 * with ::nc_server_tls_endpt_set_trusted_ca_paths(). Adding specific certificates
Michal Vaskod31b76e2017-02-15 12:18:06 +0100413 * is also performed only as an arbitrary identificator and later retrieved from
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200414 * callback set by ::nc_server_tls_set_trusted_cert_list_clb(). But, you can add
Michal Vaskod31b76e2017-02-15 12:18:06 +0100415 * certficates as whole lists, not one-by-one.
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100416 *
417 * Then, from each trusted client certificate a username must be derived
418 * for the NETCONF session. This is accomplished by finding a matching
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200419 * _cert-to-name_ entry. They are added using ::nc_server_tls_endpt_add_ctn().
Michal Vasko15b7a982016-03-02 10:53:31 +0100420 *
Michal Vasko4e6d3242021-05-26 09:13:24 +0200421 * If you need to remove trusted certificates, you can do so with ::nc_server_tls_endpt_del_trusted_cert_list().
422 * To clear all Certificate Revocation Lists use ::nc_server_tls_endpt_clear_crls().

608 * @page howtotimeouts Timeouts
609 *
610 * There are several timeouts which are used throughout _libnetconf2_ to
611 * assure that it will never indefinitely hang on any operation. Normally,
612 * you should not need to worry about them much necause they are set by
613 * default to reasonable values for common systems. However, if your
614 * platform is not common (embedded, ...), adjusting these timeouts may
615 * save a lot of debugging and time.
616 *
617 * Compile Options
618 * ---------------
619 *
620 * You can adjust active and inactive read timeout using `cmake` variables.
621 * For details look into `README.md`.
622 *
623 * API Functions
624 * -------------
625 *
626 * Once a new connection is established including transport protocol negotiations,
627 * _hello_ message is exchanged. You can set how long will the server wait for
628 * receiving this message from a client before dropping it.
629 *
630 * Having a NETCONF session working, it may not communicate for a longer time.
631 * To free up some resources, it is possible to adjust the maximum idle period
632 * of a session before it is disconnected. In _Call Home_, for both a persistent
633 * and periodic connection can this idle timeout be specified separately for each
634 * client using corresponding functions.
635 *
636 * Lastly, SSH user authentication timeout can be also modified. It is the time
637 * a client has to successfully authenticate after connecting before it is disconnected.
