Sv: ssl_verify_client_cert=yes does not require a client certificate [invalid signature!]

[Sebastian]

What I have understand, you are able in configuration to reject transactions with those that doesn't present a valid certificate.
Ergo, they can connect, but they can't do anything.

Ämne: ssl_verify_client_cert=yes does not require a client certificate [invalid signature!]

Hello,

I am trying to set up LMTP over TLS. I have set ssl_verify_client_cert:

protocol lmtp {   
        ssl_ca = </etc/cert/mail/ca.pem
        ssl_cert = </etc/cert/mail/host.pem
        ssl_key = </etc/cert/mail/host.key
        ssl_verify_client_cert = yes
}

However, clients can still connect without presenting a valid certificate.

In openssl_iostream_set() the flags given to SSL_set_verify() are SSL_VERIFY_PEER | SSL_VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE. For a certificate to be required, the SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT flag also needs to be
set:
