Thanks! This sounds like a useful addition.

Unfortunately, I do not have a working setup for testing this, so I have
only looked at the patches. The last time I looked, the OpenSC and
related tools on Linux did not support PKCS#11 initialization for the
smartcards I have.. Though, that was a long time ago, so it might be a
good time to check again (or just finally get smartcards from a
different vendor)..

How much testing have you done for these changes? Do you think they
would cause problems if the new variables are not set (i.e., break
existing functionality)? If not, I don't see problems in merging these
in now since the changes looked fine based on quick review.

Some minor comments:

0001-Add-support-to-crypto-tls-for-client-cert-and-CA-cer.patch

tls_connection_engine_client_cert():

+       if (tls_engine_get_cert(conn, cert_id, &cert))
+               return -1;
+
+       if (!SSL_use_certificate(conn->ssl, cert)) {
+               tls_show_errors(MSG_ERROR, __func__,
+                               "SSL_use_certificate failed");
+               return -1;
+       }
+       X509_free(cert);


Shouldn't the error case free the cert, too? Same for
tls_connection_engine_ca_cert()..
