Hi!

Thanks for your comments!

I just wanted you to know that I'm still working on my answer (reading RFC, list archives ...). Thus, no answer yet ;-)

Hi all,
Interesting discussion :)

As it is now, the current tls code does not really allow for flexibility, i would say. How about creating some kind of module that would allow in-depth access to tls functions, such as
- tls_verify_peer_cert()
- tls_check_from()
- tls_check_to()

I agree. We will need this functions. We should also document what the current implementation is validating (when authenticating a server certificate: which domain is checked against which part of the certificate?) ...

This way a barebones connection may be accepted on the tls level (say, just server authentication). Then, in the config file you may be able to stiffen the authentication requirements with a bunch of functionalities provided by a tls_tools module. Regards, Cesc
