Hello Ingela!

Thanks for your reply, it helped! I can now retrieve the certificate and validate it when the client needs to enter a privileged role.

I had to work around a problem - when the client certificate is signed by a CA, the server crashes at SSL connection time. When the client
certificate is only self-signed everything seems to work right including ssl:peercert/1.

The server uses the following SSL options and the nul verification fun fron the SSL manual:

    SslOptions = [{certfile, ?SSL_CERT_PATH}, {keyfile, ?SSL_KEY_PATH}, {verify, verify_peer}, {verify_fun, {verify_fun_none(), []}}],

The client uses following SSL options:

    SslOptions = [{certfile, ?SSL_LM_CLIENTCERT_PATH}, {keyfile, ?SSL_LM_CLIENTKEY_PATH}],     

The crash looks as follows:

I am attaching the Makefile which generates the certificates/keys using OpenSSL:

	openssl genrsa -out $(LM_CERT_DIR)/Cooking-service-ca.key 2048

	openssl x509 -req -days 1825 -in $(LM_CERT_DIR)/Cooking-service-ca.csr -signkey $(LM_CERT_DIR)/Cooking-service-ca.key -out $(LM_CERT_DIR)/Cooking-service-ca.crt

$(LM_CERT_DIR)/Manager-client.key:
	openssl genrsa -out $(LM_CERT_DIR)/Manager-client.key 2048

Well we have a reported issue that is similar to what you describe,
but we have not been able to reproduce it yet.  However in your case
it proably depends on that you have not
specified that the server should verify the client {verify,
verify_peer} , by default the server will
not  request a client certificate.
