gnutls_reauth(3)                   gnutls                   gnutls_reauth(3)

NAME top

       gnutls_reauth - API function

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_reauth(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS top

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       unsigned int flags
                   must be zero

DESCRIPTION top

       This function performs the post-handshake authentication for TLS 1.3.
       The post-handshake authentication is initiated by the server by
       calling this function. Clients respond when GNUTLS_E_REAUTH_REQUEST
       has been seen while receiving data.

       The non-fatal errors expected by this function are:
       GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED, GNUTLS_E_AGAIN, as well as
       GNUTLS_E_GOT_APPLICATION_DATA when called on server side.

       The former two interrupt the authentication procedure due to the
       transport layer being interrupted, and the latter because there were
       pending data prior to peer initiating the re-authentication. The
       server should read/process that data as unauthenticated and retry
       calling gnutls_reauth().

       When this function is called under TLS1.2 or earlier or the peer
       didn't advertise post-handshake auth, it always fails with
       GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST. The verification of the received peers
       certificate is delegated to the session or credentials verification
       callbacks. A server can check whether post handshake authentication
       is supported by the client by checking the session flags with
       gnutls_session_get_flags().

       Prior to calling this function in server side, the function
       gnutls_certificate_server_set_request() must be called setting
       expectations for the received certificate (request or require). If
       none are set this function will return with GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST.

       Note that post handshake authentication is available irrespective of
       the initial negotiation type (PSK or certificate). In all cases
       however, certificate credentials must be set to the session prior to
       calling this function.

RETURNS top

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on a successful authentication, otherwise a negative
       error code.
