Hi!

I try to find authoritative explanation for some aspects in RFC 5246 (TLS 
1..2). I hope this is right place to ask.

Background: Company A has client/browser and company B has web server. Server 
has certificate and it also requires certificate from client. Client do not 
advertise signature_algorithm ECDSA/SHA512 in its client hello. Server supports 
signature_algorithm ECDSA/SHA512 by default, but it does not send it to client 
with certificate request message because it  is not advertised in client hello! 
(Communication fails.)


  *   Company B says that this is correct implementation for RFC 5246 - only 
common signature algorithms for both parties must be included in 
signature_algorithms extension in certificate request message!
  *   Company A says that in correct implementation of RFC 5246 all 
signature_algorithms supported by server must be included in certificate 
request message (and client hello has nothing to do with certificate request 
message)!

Can you please share your opinion/understanding with me?
Or lead me to right direction?

Thanks!

Urmas
