I really like this, Jobe! No more distributing client certificates to servers. Excellent!

I think this should be expanded in the future to maybe adding fingerprint information to WHOIS or allow anyone to get a user's fingerprint.

Not only would the ability for everyone to have access to this command aid in the addition of oper/vhost/allow blocks, but it would also be an extremely useful tool for users to know they are talking to the same person (if said person is using their own cert for the connection)

Hmmm I didn't think of that when I added the oper only functionality to get someone elses fingerprint.

Is easy enough to modify to allow anyone to get anyones fingerprint.

But yes adding it to /whois would be nice too, although itd only be available in remote /whois, same way as idle times are, for obvious reasons.

That is unless Unreal somehow propagated the fingerprint at user introduction like InspIRCd does

I know I'm kinda hijacking this bugid now, but would there be any use for a fingerprint extban?

If we would use it for more things than just a command to show it and ircop/auth check, then we might want to set it in the user struct instead of calculating (or grabbing it) through OpenSSL each time.

I guess all those questions are interlinked... do we want to show the FP in /WHOIS. Are there any ircds that do? It doesn't sound like a bad idea per se.

IMO including SSL fingerprints in WHOIS is a must, as that's half the reason to add them to the IRCd (clients could then store finger prints and use stored fingerprints to verify the authenticity of users later).

I think an extban would be better as a module not in the core distribution.

I do believe both these would probably be best if it is stored in the struct, it would be a waste of process resources to generate the fingerprint every time it is requested.

I quite agree, it should be retrieved and calculated at connection only, thereafter it should be found in the user struct. Feel free to expand and extend as you see fit (not that you need my permission of course :P)

If we had this globally, then it would be easy to add support for SASL EXTERNAL (using certificate fingerprint with SASL.).

This is now implemented in /WHOIS.
