Hi Heikki,

thanks. the eaptl_resume_post_auth_hook.pl works perfectly in our setup.

We fetch certificate issuer and policy in the EAPTLS_CertificateVerifyHook and use the eaptl_resume_post_auth_hook.pl with very minor adjustments for our use case.

Greetings
Christian

When the session is resumed, the separate store is retrieved and associated with an EAP context created anew for this authentication.
