mod_log_ringbuffer: Detach event handlers on logging reload (thanks Menel) Otherwise the global event handlers accumulate, one added each time logging is reoladed, and each invocation of the signal or event triggers one dump of each created ringbuffer.

summary: Client Certificate authentication module
...

Introduction
============

This module implements PKI-style client certificate authentication. You
will therefore need your own Certificate Authority. How to set that up
is beyond the current scope of this document.

Configuration
=============


    authentication = "ccert"
    certificate_match = "xmppaddr" -- or "email"

    c2s_ssl = {
        cafile = "/path/to/your/ca.pem";
        capath = false; -- Disable capath inherited from built-in default
        verify = {"peer"; "client_once"}; -- Ask for client certificate
        verifyext = {
            -- Don't validate client certs as if they were server certs
            lsec_ignore_purpose = false
        }
    }


Compatibility
=============

  ----------------- --------------
  trunk             Works
  0.10 and later    Works
  0.9 and earlier   Doesn't work
  ----------------- --------------
