Rollerworks X509Validator Symfony Bridge

This package provides the Symfony validator/bundle integration for the X509 TLS certificate/private-key validators.

The X509 TLS certificate/private-key validators validate the following:

  • CA chain completeness
  • PrivateKey bits length
  • Signature algorithm
  • OCSP Revocation status (requires internet access)
  • Certificate purpose
  • Certificate general validity (private-key compatibility, not expired, readable)
  • Certificate hostname pattern supported, and protection against global wildcards of public-suffix length violations

Installation

To install this package, add rollerworks/x509-validator-symfony to your composer.json:

php composer.phar require rollerworks/x509-validator-symfony

Now, Composer will automatically download all required files, and install them for you.

Symfony Flex (with contrib) is assumed to enable the Bundle and add required configuration. https://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles.html

Otherwise enable the following bundles:

  • Rollerworks\Component\PdbSfBridge\Bundle\RollerworksPdbBundle
  • Rollerworks\Component\X509Validator\Symfony\Bundle\RollerworksX509ValidatorBundle

And add the following configuration:

# config/packages/rollerworks_pdb.yaml

rollerworks_pdb:
    cache_pool: 'rollerworks.cache.public_prefix_db'
    #manager: http # either: 'http' (default), 'static' (requires manual updates) or 'mock'

framework:
    cache:
        pools:
            # This name can be changed by setting `rollerworks_pdb.cache_pool` (**Don't reuse an existing cache pool!**)
            rollerworks.cache.public_prefix_db:
                adapter: cache.adapter.array # use a persistent adapter that can be easily invalidated like cache.adapter.memcached or cache.adapter.pdo
                default_lifetime: 604800 # one week, the cache should be automatically refreshed, unless manager=static is used

Requirements

You need at least PHP 8.2, internet access is required if you want to validate a certificate's OCSP status or automatically update the PublicSuffixList.

The public-suffix and top-level domain needs to manually updated from time to time. When internet access is available the PdbManager (provided by rollerworks/pdb-symfony-bridge) will automatically download the list and store it in the cache.

If no internet access is available, the local cache needs to refreshed manually. See https://github.com/rollerworks/PdbSfBridge#offline-usage for instructions.
