Server should not send bad_certificate alert when the client does not send any certificates

XMLWordPrintable

    • Verified

        Currently when the server needs client authentication and the client does not produce any certificates, the connection is aborted with "bad_certificate" alert.

        I checked the TLS1.0-1.3 specs; 1.0-1.2 recommend handshake_failure, and 1.3 recommends certificate_required alert.

        Additionally, [TLS1.3]:
        If the server supplies an empty Certificate message, the client MUST abort the handshake with a "decode_error" alert.
