Thanks Cihan! I didn't go back to the document and read the full paragraph (first paragraph from section 4.7) in place before replying to Alan. The current paragraph is this:

The 'certificate' IPP Authentication method uses X.509 certificate authentication via TLS. X.509 certificate authentication via TLS is initiated by the Printer by sending a Certificate Request message during the Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246] handshake. The Client then sends the X.509 certificate identifying the User and/or Client in a corresponding Certificate message, and a subsequent Certificate Verify message to prove to the Printer that the Client has the corresponding private key. If the Client has no configured X.509 certificate to provide, it sends an empty Certificate message.

After re-reading it, I think it ought to be this:

The 'certificate' IPP Authentication method uses X.509 certificate authentication via TLS. This authentication method is initiated by the Printer when it sends a Certificate Request message during the Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246] handshake. The Client responds by sending a Certificate message with the X.509 certificate identifying the User and/or Client. The Client then sends a Certificate Verify message to prove to the Printer that the Client has the corresponding private key. If the Client has no X.509 certificate to provide to the Printer, it sends an empty Certificate message.

Any objections to this rewrite?

Smith
