gnutls_reauth(3)		     gnutls			gnutls_reauth(3)

NAME
     gnutls_reauth - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

     int gnutls_reauth(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_session_t session
		 is a gnutls_session_t type.

     unsigned int flags
		 must be zero

DESCRIPTION
     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 ad-
     vertise post-handshake auth, it always fails with GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST.
     The verification of the received peers certificate is delegated to the ses-
     sion 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_certifi-
     cate_server_set_request() must be called setting expectations for	the  re-
     ceived 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,  cer-
     tificate credentials must be set to the session prior to calling this func-
     tion.

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