+=== Client authentication via certificates
+
+When you enable TLS, you may also configure the server to request a client
certificate for authentication:
+
+....
+<tls socketTLS="false" startTLS="true">
+ <keystore>file://conf/keystore</keystore>
+ <keystoreType>JKS</keystoreType>
+ <secret>yoursecret</secret>
+
+ <clientAuth required="true">
+ <truststore>file://conf/truststore</truststore>
+ <truststoreType>JKS</truststoreType>
+ <truststoreSecret>yoursecret</truststoreSecret>
+ </clientAuth>
+</tls>
+....
+
+With `required="true"`, the server refuses any client connections that do not
include a client certificate.
+
+With `required="false"`, the servers requests an optional client certificate,
but also accepts connections without one.
Review comment:
What is the benefit of `required=false` ?
