well, the server indicates it wants to see client certificate during the
handshake, but it has no control in forcing the client to do so. From
Kamailio point of view, all this is done by underlying libssl used by
tls module. The result after handshake, based on the error message, is
that client didn't present any certificate.

Typically the clients do not present their certificate by default, there
has to be some configuration for that. From my experience, the
hardphones have certificates only for provisioning/management APIs.

For SIP, there has an option of uploading the client side certificate,
because it has to match somehow the SIP user and SIP service to be able
to do proper mutual TLS authentication.

Cheers,
Daniel
