This is needed to allow TLS client certificate auth to work. With
ssl_verify_client configured, the auth daemon can choose to allow the
connection to proceed based on the certificate data.
This has been tested with Thunderbird for IMAP only. I've not yet found a
client that will do client certificate auth for POP3 or SMTP, and the method is
not really documented anywhere that I can find. That said, its simple enough
that the way I've done is probably right.
The "ssl_verify_client", "ssl_verify_depth", "ssl_client_certificate",
"ssl_trusted_certificate", and "ssl_crl" directives introduced to control
SSL client certificate verification in mail proxy module.
If there is a certificate, detail of the certificate are passed to
the auth_http script configured via Auth-SSL-Verify, Auth-SSL-Subject,
Auth-SSL-Issuer, Auth-SSL-Serial, Auth-SSL-Fingerprint headers. If
the auth_http_pass_client_cert directive is set, client certificate
in PEM format will be passed in the Auth-SSL-Cert header (urlencoded).
If there is no required certificate provided during an SSL handshake
or certificate verification fails then a protocol-specific error is
returned after the SSL handshake and the connection is closed.
