mod_auth_ccert

Introduction

This module implements PKI-style client certificate authentication. You will therefore need your own Certificate Authority. How to set that up is beyond the current scope of this document.

Configuration

authentication = "ccert"
certificate_match = "xmppaddr" -- or "email"

c2s_ssl = {
    cafile = "/path/to/your/ca.pem";
    capath = false; -- Disable capath inherited from built-in default
    verify = {"peer"; "client_once"}; -- Ask for client certificate
    verifyext = {
        -- Don't validate client certs as if they were server certs
        lsec_ignore_purpose = false
    }
}

Compatibility

0.10 and later Works
0.9 and earlier Doesn’t work
