I can get the standard certificate information for an SSL connection in Python 3.3 via the getpeercert() method on the SSL socket. However, it doesn't seem to provide the chain like OpenSSL's "s_client" tool does.
Is there some way I can get this so that I can see if my IA certificate was configured properly?
s_client command-line:
openssl s_client -connect google.com:443
s_client result (just the first few lines):
$ openssl s_client -connect google.com:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
depth=2 C = US, O = GeoTrust Inc., CN = GeoTrust Global CA
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
verify return:0

Python 3.3 code:
import socket
from ssl import SSLContext # Modern SSL?
from ssl import HAS_SNI # Has SNI?
from pprint import pprint
def ssl_wrap_socket(sock, keyfile=None, certfile=None, cert_reqs=None,
ca_certs=None, server_hostname=None,
ssl_version=None):
context = SSLContext(ssl_version)
context.verify_mode = cert_reqs
if ca_certs:
try:
context.load_verify_locations(ca_certs)
# Py32 raises IOError
# Py33 raises FileNotFoundError
except Exception as e: # Reraise as SSLError
raise ssl.SSLError(e)
if certfile:
# FIXME: This block needs a test.
context.load_cert_chain(certfile, keyfile)
if HAS_SNI: # Platform-specific: OpenSSL with enabled SNI
return context.wrap_socket(sock, server_hostname=server_hostname)
return context.wrap_socket(sock)
hostname = 'www.google.com'
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((hostname, 443))
sslSocket = ssl_wrap_socket(s,
ssl_version=2,
cert_reqs=2,
ca_certs='/usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages/requests/cacert.pem',
server_hostname=hostname)
pprint(sslSocket.getpeercert())
s.close()
Code result:
