TLSSocket.prototype.renegotiate

method TLSSocket.prototype.renegotiate

Usage

import { TLSSocket } from "node:tls";


        TLSSocket.prototype.renegotiate(options: { rejectUnauthorized?: boolean | undefined; requestCert?: boolean | undefined;  }, callback: (err: Error | null) => void): undefined | boolean

The tlsSocket.renegotiate() method initiates a TLS renegotiation process. Upon completion, the callback function will be passed a single argument that is either an Error (if the request failed) or null.

This method can be used to request a peer's certificate after the secure connection has been established.

When running as the server, the socket will be destroyed with an error afterhandshakeTimeout timeout.

For TLSv1.3, renegotiation cannot be initiated, it is not supported by the protocol.

Parameters

options: { rejectUnauthorized?: boolean | undefined; requestCert?: boolean | undefined;  }

callback: (err: Error | null) => void

If renegotiate() returned true, callback is attached once to the 'secure' event. If renegotiate() returned false, callback will be called in the next tick with an error, unless the tlsSocket has been destroyed, in which case callback will not be called at all.

Return Type

undefined | boolean

true if renegotiation was initiated, false otherwise.
