== NAME

nng_tls_config_auth_mode - configure authentication mode

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
-----------
#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef enum nng_tls_auth_mode {
        NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_NONE,
        NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_OPTIONAL,
        NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_REQUIRED
} nng_tls_auth_mode;

int nng_tls_config_auth_mode(nni_tls_config *cfg, nng_tls_auth_mode mode);
-----------

== DESCRIPTION

The `nng_tls_config_auth_mode()` function configures the authentication mode
to be used for TLS sessions using this configuration object.

The possible modes are:

`NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_NONE`::
No authentication of the TLS peer is performed.  This is the default for
TLS servers, which most typically do not authenticate their clients.

`NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_OPTIONAL`::
If a certificate is presented by the peer, then it is validated.  However,
if the peer does not present a valid certificate, then the sesssion is allowed
to proceed without authentication.

`NNG_TLS_AUTH_MODE_REQUIRED`::
A check is made to ensure that the peer has presented a valid certificate
used for the session.  If the peer's certificate is invalid or missing, then
the session is refused.  This is the default for clients.

== RETURN VALUES

This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.

== ERRORS

`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient memory is available.
`NNG_EINVAL`:: An invalid 'mode' was specified.
`NNG_EBUSY`:: The configuration 'cfg' is already in use, and cannot be modified.
