Description: ------------ It is currently impossible to only perform a check that the host name matches Common Name in SSL certificate. If 'verify_peer' is off, then the check is not performed, while documentation does not mention that these context options are dependent. Note that cURL extension behaves as expected, the script <?php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://sf.net/'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2); if (!curl_exec($ch)) { echo "Error #" . curl_errno($ch) . ": " . curl_error($ch); } ?> outputs the following: Error #51: SSL: certificate subject name 'sourceforge.net' does not match target host name 'sf.net' Reproduce code: --------------- $context = stream_context_create(array( 'ssl' => array( 'verify_peer' => false, 'CN_match' => 'sf.net' ) )); $stream = stream_socket_client('ssl://sf.net:443', $errno, $errstr, 10, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context); if ($stream) { echo "Stream connected OK\r\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- Some error message that certificate name 'sourceforge.net' does not match expected 'sf.net' Actual result: -------------- Stream connected OK PatchesPull Requests

It may also be a good idea to use name explicitly given in CN_match for peer verification instead of host name stream_socket_client() was called upon. Consider a proxy scenario: <php $context = stream_context_create(array( 'ssl' => array( 'verify_peer' => true, 'CN_match' => 'sourceforge.net' ) )); // connecting to proxy $stream = stream_socket_client( 'tcp://proxy.example.com:3128', $errno, $errstr, 10, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context ); // establishing the tunnel fwrite($stream, 'CONNECT sourceforge.net ...'); // ... read proxy response // establish crypto stream_socket_enable_crypto( $stream, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT ); ?> This script will fail now since proxy.example.com obviously doesn't match the certificate for sourceforge.netThis has been addressed in the 5.6 development branch and master via the linked pull request. As of 5.6 all client streams verify peers and host names by default. Peer certificate verification (via CAs) and host name verification (via CN and SAN) are now independent of one another. As these changes rely heavily on other features introduced in 5.6 you probably shouldn't hold your breath waiting for them to be back-ported to older versions. <?php $uri = ''; $flags = STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT; $ctx = stream_context_create(['ssl' => [ 'verify_peer' => false, // defaults to true for clients (as of 5.6) 'verify_host' => true, // defaults to true for clients (new in 5.6) 'CN_match' => 'somename.com' // <-- override the URI host name ]]); $client = stream_socket_client($uri, $errno, $errstr, $timeout, $flags, $ctx);
