What did you do?

I want to be able to validate a client certificate's hostname on a TLS server with ClientAuth: tls.RequireAndVerifyClientCert, set on the server tls.Config by using the VerifyPeerCertificate method.

What did you expect to see?

I expected the serverHandshakeState or tls.Conn from the serverHandshakeState to be passed to the VerifyPeerCertificate method

What did you see instead?

No connection information is passed to the VerifyPeerCertificate method

Which information from tls.Conn do you need?

the client IP address would be sufficient. I want to compare the connecting IP to the IP in the client certificate SAN field

It's not the easiest thing, but you can use GetConfigForClient to set VerifyPeerCertificate to a closure that has access to the ClientHelloInfo passed to GetConfigForClient.

tls.Config already has too many callbacks, so if something is doable with GetConfigForClient I don't want to add a new helper one. I'd be happy to hear feedback on how to make the docs more helpful though.

I can make that work, but is that more efficient/better than changing the method signature for VerifyPeerCertificate from:

VerifyPeerCertificate func(rawCerts [][]byte, verifiedChains [][]*x509.Certificate) error

to

VerifyPeerCertificate func(rawCerts [][]byte, verifiedChains [][]*x509.Certificate, conn *Conn) error

Either way, I appreciate your help and your time

We can't change exported signatures to respect the Go 1 Compatibility Promise.
