Hi Selva,

my suggestion would be to make
this conditional on MANAGEMNET_DEF_AUTH so that we can
then get it from  session->opt->mda_context just as we do it when
auth is done via the management. In practice, that would cover
most builds where this is really useful.
Unfortunately this doesn't help. The mda_context flags are only set when --management-client-auth is in use, meaning this patch would not cover plugin or script authentication, which are the more commonly used, and this patch set specifically addresses plugin authentication.

Regards,
Eric

    Hi Arne,

    The issue is your state is not accessible from where that boolean

I agree with Arne that duplicating a state machine variable is
not a good approach. But we have to somehow get the REAUTH (reneg)
info in here.

This has stalled for too long, so my suggestion would be to make
this conditional on MANAGEMNET_DEF_AUTH so that we can
then get it from  session->opt->mda_context just as we do it when
auth is done via the management. In practice, that would cover
most builds where this is really useful.

In fact, I think we should always enable MANAGEMENT_DEF_AUTH
when management is enabled. That also gets rid of a lot of IFDEFs and
allow the use of useful bits like CID more widely in the code. I see
no compelling reason for such fine-grained build options.

A marginal increase in code size is of little consequence all but
embedded devices which can continue to cope without this
as they do now.
