During a test with ~12000 established SAs it was noted that vici
related operations hung.
The operations took over 16 minutes to finish. The time was spent in
the vici message parser, which was assigning the message over and over
again, to get rid of the already parsed portions.
First fixed by cutting the consumed parts off without copying the message.
Runtime for ~12000 SAs is now around 20 seconds.
Further optimization brought the runtime down to roughly 1-2 seconds
by using an fd to read through the message variable.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#103.
Although being already logged on level 2, these messages are usually just
confusing if they pop up randomly in the log when e.g. querying the configs
or installing traps. So after this the log messages will only be logged when
actually proposing or selecting traffic selectors during IKE.
Until now the configuration available to user for HW offload were:
hw_offload = no
hw_offload = yes
With this commit users will be able to configure auto mode using:
hw_offload = auto

Reqids for the same traffic selectors are now stable so we don't have to
pass reqids of previously installed CHILD_SAs. Likewise, we don't need
to know the reqid of the newly installed trap policy as we now uninstall
by name.
Line 66 yields "TypeError: can't concat bytes to str" using Python 3.4.
"requestdata" was introduced in 22f08609f1 but is not actually used.
Since the original "request" is not used anywhere else this can be changed
to be similar to the other UTF-8 encoding changes in that commit.
Fixes: 22f08609f1 ("vici: Explicitly set the Python encoding type").
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#66.
This is different if `ike` and `child` are provided and uninstall()
fails as we call that without knowing whether a matching shunt exists.
But if `ike` is not provided we explicitly search for a matching shunt
and if found don't need to look for a trap policy.
The original name is returned in the new "name" attribute.
This fixes an issue with bindings that map VICI messages to
dictionaries. For instance, in roadwarrior scenarios where every
CHILD_SA has the same name only the information of the last CHILD_SA
would end up in the dictionary for that name.
PINs are stored in a "hidden" credential set, so that its shared
secrets are not exposed via VICI. Since they are not explicitly loaded as
shared secrets via VICI a client might consider them as removed secrets and
remove them.
When using vici over RPyC and its (awesome) splitbrain, encoding and decoding
strings fails in vici, most likely because of the Monkey-Patch magic splitbrain
uses.
When specifying the implicit UTF-8 as encoding scheme explicitly, Python uses
the correct method to encode/decode the string, making vici useable in
splitbrain contexts.
The Python VICI library does not check if the socket is closed.
If the daemon closes the connection, _recvall() spins forever.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#56.
When fresh CRLs are released with a high update frequency (e.g.
every 24 hours) or OCSP is used then the certificate cache gets
quickly filled with stale CRLs or OCSP responses. The new VICI
flush-certs command allows to flush e.g. cached CRLs or OCSP
responses only. Without the type argument all kind of certificates
(e.g. also received end entity and intermediate CA certificates)
are purged.
The versioning scheme used by Python (PEP 440) supports the rcN suffix
but development releases have to be named devN, not drN, which are
not supported and considered legacy versions.
Running or undoing start actions might require enumerating IKE_SAs,
which in turn might have to enumerate peer configs concurrently, which
requires acquiring a read lock. So if we keep holding the write lock while
enumerating the SAs we provoke a deadlock.
By preventing other threads from acquiring the write lock while handling
actions, and thus preventing the modification of the configs, we largely
maintain the current synchronous behavior. This way we also don't need to
acquire additional refs for config objects as they won't get modified/removed.
Fixes#1185.
This also restores the charon.signature_authentication_constraints
functionality, that is, if no explicit IKE signature schemes are
configured we apply all regular signature constraints as IKE constraints.
