Type Documentation

QSsl.AlternateNameEntryType

Describes the key types for alternate name entries in QSslCertificate.

Constant Value Description
QSsl.EmailEntry 0 An email entry; the entry contains an email address that the certificate is valid for.
QSsl.DnsEntry 1 A DNS host name entry; the entry contains a host name entry that the certificate is valid for. The entry may contain wildcards.

See also QSslCertificate.alternateSubjectNames().

QSsl.EncodingFormat

Describes supported encoding formats for certificates and keys.

Constant Value Description
QSsl.Pem 0 The PEM format.
QSsl.Der 1 The DER format.

QSsl.KeyAlgorithm

Describes the different key algorithms supported by QSslKey.

Constant Value Description
QSsl.Rsa 0 The RSA algorithm.
QSsl.Dsa 1 The DSA algorithm.

QSsl.KeyType

Describes the two types of keys QSslKey supports.

Constant Value Description
QSsl.PrivateKey 0 A private key.
QSsl.PublicKey 1 A public key.

QSsl.SslProtocol

Describes the protocol of the cipher.

Constant Value Description
QSsl.SslV3 0 SSLv3 - the default protocol.
QSsl.SslV2 1 SSLv2
QSsl.TlsV1 2 TLSv1
QSsl.UnknownProtocol -1 The cipher's protocol cannot be determined.
QSsl.AnyProtocol 3 The socket understands SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLSv1. This value is used by QSslSocket only.

Note: most servers using SSL understand both versions (2 and 3), but it is recommended to use the latest version only for security reasons. However, SSL and TLS are not compatible with each other: if you get unexpected handshake failures, verify that you chose the correct setting for your protocol.
