Support TLS client config NodeJS: TLS client certificates etc

Hello I’m using autobahn in my enterprise application which all communications use a two way hand shaking. So we have certificates in the Server and In the Client as well.

I was having some problems when using HTTPS/WSS with autobahn as we could not tell it to use the certificates for the websockets.

So I looked at the code and realized that in the https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-js/blob/master/package/lib/transport/websocket.js#L80 in the instantiation of the WebSocket only the protocols as the parameter are used and there’s no way to use other options along with it.

If the options in the transports were passed through the WebSocket itself this would solve this problem and provide more customization to the transports.

Usage Example:

let conn = new autobahn.Connection({
  realm: theREALM,
  transports : [{
    type: 'websocket', 
    url: 'wss://localhost:1339',
    options: {
      key: THE_KEY,
      cert: THE_CERT,
      rejectUnauthorized: true,
      requestCert: ...
      ...
    }
  }]
});

What do you think? I’ve a patch with this change that I can contribute if it’s relevant.

Best Regards.

I had this issue too. As ws is using nodejs https as agent for secure connections, you can solve this by overriding https.globalAgent before openning the autobahn connection.

• again, ZMQ != WAMP, and WAMP does not build or need ZMQ
• the TLS issues you experience are unrelated to AutobahnJS, as you cannot even connect using OpenSSL client
• Ratchet does not implement WAMP v2 https://github.com/ratchetphp/Ratchet/issues/559#issuecomment-332561236 and AutobahnJS no longer provides WAMP v1, only v2
• if you want to stick with PHP, I’d checkout https://github.com/voryx/Thruway and get help from their IRC channel or GH
