[SR-Users] Retrieving cert details from tls peer

Hi

Looking at the libssl docs it looks like the require/verify setting triggers the client cert request to be sent. When set to ‘verify none' no request is sent.

Either way the Yealink seems to be ignoring the request.

As always, thanks for your assistance

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.
