Client - SSL/TLS

You can use the gRPC client to connect or interact with a gRPC listener secured with SSL/TLS. Provide the grpc:ClientSecureSocket configurations to the client to initiate an HTTPS connection over HTTP/2.

For more information on the underlying module, see the gRPC module.

 
syntax = "proto3";
import "google/protobuf/empty.proto";
import "google/protobuf/wrappers.proto";

This is the service definition for the scenario.

service HelloWorld {
	rpc hello(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (google.protobuf.StringValue);
}

# Create a new Protocol Buffers definition file named `grpc_client.proto` and add the service definition to it.
# Run the command below in the Ballerina tools distribution for stub generation.
bal grpc --input grpc_client.proto --output stubs

# Once you run the command, `grpc_client_pb.bal` file is generated inside stubs directory.

# For more information on how to use the Ballerina Protocol Buffers tool, see the [Proto To Ballerina](https://ballerina.io/learn/by-example/proto-to-ballerina.html) example.

import ballerina/io;

A gRPC client can be configured to communicate through SSL/TLS as well. To secure a client using SSL/TLS, the client needs to be configured with a certificate file of the listener. The grpc:ClientSecureSocket record provides the SSL-related configurations of the client.

public function main() returns error? {
    string result = check securedEP->hello();
    io:println(result);
}

# Create a Ballerina package.
# Copy the generated `grpc_secured_pb.bal` stub file to the package.
# For example, if you create a package named `client`, copy the stub file to the `client` package.

# Create a new `grpc_client_ssl_tls.bal` Ballerina file inside the `client` package and add the client implementation.

# Execute the command below to build the 'client' package.
# You may need to change the trusted certificate file path.
`bal build client`

# Run the client using the command below.
# As a prerequisite, start a sample service secured with SSL.
bal run client/target/bin/client.jar
