+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb()\fR sets the \fIclient_cert_cb\fR callback, that is
+called when a client certificate is requested by a server and no certificate
+was yet set for the SSL object.
+.PP
+When \fIclient_cert_cb\fR is NULL, no callback function is used.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_CTX_get_client_cert_cb()\fR returns a pointer to the currently set callback
+function.
+.PP
+\&\fIclient_cert_cb\fR is the application defined callback. If it wants to
+set a certificate, a certificate/private key combination must be set
+using the \fIx509\fR and \fIpkey\fR arguments and "1" must be returned. The
+certificate will be installed into \fIssl\fR, see the NOTES and BUGS sections.
+If no certificate should be set, "0" has to be returned and no certificate
+will be sent. A negative return value will suspend the handshake and the
+handshake function will return immediately. \fBSSL_get_error\fR\|(3)
+will return SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP to indicate, that the handshake was
+suspended. The next call to the handshake function will again lead to the call
+of \fIclient_cert_cb\fR. It is the job of the \fIclient_cert_cb\fR to store information
+about the state of the last call, if required to continue.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+During a handshake (or renegotiation) a server may request a certificate
+from the client. A client certificate must only be sent, when the server
+did send the request.
+.PP
+When a certificate was set using the
+\&\fBSSL_CTX_use_certificate\fR\|(3) family of functions,
+it will be sent to the server. The TLS standard requires that only a
+certificate is sent, if it matches the list of acceptable CAs sent by the
+server. This constraint is violated by the default behavior of the OpenSSL
+library. Using the callback function it is possible to implement a proper
+selection routine or to allow a user interaction to choose the certificate to
+be sent.
+.PP
+If a callback function is defined and no certificate was yet defined for the
+SSL object, the callback function will be called.
+If the callback function returns a certificate, the OpenSSL library
+will try to load the private key and certificate data into the SSL
+object using the \fBSSL_use_certificate()\fR and \fBSSL_use_private_key()\fR functions.
+Thus it will permanently install the certificate and key for this SSL
+object. It will not be reset by calling \fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3).
+If the callback returns no certificate, the OpenSSL library will not send
+a certificate.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBSSL_CTX_get_client_cert_cb()\fR returns function pointer of \fIclient_cert_cb\fR or
+NULL if the callback is not set.
+.SH BUGS
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+The \fIclient_cert_cb\fR cannot return a complete certificate chain, it can
+only return one client certificate. If the chain only has a length of 2,
+the root CA certificate may be omitted according to the TLS standard and
+thus a standard conforming answer can be sent to the server. For a
+longer chain, the client must send the complete chain (with the option
+to leave out the root CA certificate). This can only be accomplished by
+either adding the intermediate CA certificates into the trusted
+certificate store for the SSL_CTX object (resulting in having to add
+CA certificates that otherwise maybe would not be trusted), or by adding
+the chain certificates using the
+\&\fBSSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert\fR\|(3)
+function, which is only available for the SSL_CTX object as a whole and that
+therefore probably can only apply for one client certificate, making
+the concept of the callback function (to allow the choice from several
+certificates) questionable.
+.PP
+Once the SSL object has been used in conjunction with the callback function,
+the certificate will be set for the SSL object and will not be cleared
+even when \fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3) is being called. It is therefore
+mandatory to destroy the SSL object using \fBSSL_free\fR\|(3)
+and create a new one to return to the previous state.
