post-handshake-auth

About this tag
The post-handshake-auth tag covers discussions about TLS 1.3's post-handshake authentication feature, particularly its impact on client-certificate (mTLS) workflows in Windows environments. Content highlights a structural limitation in Windows 11 where IIS Express cannot reliably request a client certificate after the initial handshake due to how TLS is handled in kernel (http.sys / Schannel). Microsoft engineers have confirmed this issue, and a permanent fix for the lightweight developer server appears unlikely in the near term. The tag is relevant for Windows developers and administrators dealing with mTLS breakage and seeking workarounds.
