Because after reading up on it, it seems that a Pull Request would require a CLA, and I am not willing to sign any contract under US law (I have no idea of implications, and a lawyer to explain these is not reasonably affordable for roughly two LOC). The things I know it for are unreasonable laws (I suppose an Access Denied alert might be patentable/copyrightable under US law, while it wouldn't under EU law), ridiculously off compensations (which seems a risk to me - I do no know if someone holds a patent/copyright on the alert from the RFC, and do not know how to check), and violating Europeans' constitutional laws (see the discussion around safe harbor agreements / GDPR). Best regards, Christian

Would extensions to this list be welcome? Should Christian send a PR? I would be happy to review such a PR - although it would only be applied to master and not 3.0 or 1.1.1. Any PR could only be in the form of additions to the table (not modifications to existing entries), so as not to break existing behaviour. Matt

This is not currently possible. OpenSSL has an internal table which maps verify errors to TLS alerts: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/9f3626f2473bdce53e85eba96e502e950e29e16f/ssl/statem/statem_lib.c#L1350-L1394 Unfortunately there are no entries in this table that map to the access_denied alert.

How to reject a certificate with access_denied?
Hi, I am building a server application that allows a user to log in by providing a certificate. In order to do custom checks, I have added a verify callback to my code to check the certificate on top of its cryptographic features (CA Valid, etc). If the certificate does not pass my extended checks, I would like to return the access_denied alert as per RFC8446 section 6.2: access_denied: A valid certificate or PSK was received, but when access control was applied, the sender decided not to proceed with negotiation. However, I can't find a way to generate this alert in openssl, although openssl can handle receiving it. How do I make a callback return a non-defined (as in not defined in the headers) alert?
