[jdev] Re: jdev Digest, Vol 10, Issue 3

[Kamran Zafar]

Hi Alexey,

Thanks for your reply and giving the reference of RFC
3920.

Yes, I have gone through this RFC (specially "section
5. Use of TLS"). But my confusion is still there.I
have a perfect understanding of how and what stanzas
should be passed through client-server-client. 

Let me explain my question in other way, 

In RFC 3920, please go to (section "5.3.
Client-to-Server Example"). There is written:

Step 4: Client sends the STARTTLS command to server:
    <starttls
xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-tls'/>

Step 5: Server informs client that it is allowed to
proceed:
<proceed xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-tls'/>
 
Step 6: Client and server attempt to complete TLS
negotiation over the existing TCP connection.

Step 7: If TLS negotiation is successful, client
initiates a new stream to server:

I want to know what exactly happens in the "TLS
negotiation" (implementation point of view). What I
have to do (other than making and send/receiving of
TLS related stanzas) in my client and server
application in "step 6"?

I hope this time I am more explanatory.

Regards,
Kamran
