- Linux machine
- SER version 2.0rc or higher. Se also SER 2rc1
- Server certificate and private key in PEM fomrat
- CA list - list of trusted authorities in PEM format
- TLS enabled client - i.e. EyeBeam or new CMC
If you use binary package, see if it supports TLS. command ser -V should show something like

and tls module (tls.so) has to located in module directory (depends on distribution and package i.e. /usr/local/lib/ser/modules)
Otherwise you have to recompile SER from source. Download daily snaphot from iptel.org or from CVS.

Ser acting as TLS server sends his certificate everytime.
Require=0 and Verify=0 is the weakest settings which provides just an encrypted tunnel (if cipher is not NULL)
Require=0 and Verify=1 - if TLS client provides a certificate, it is verified. This setting allows your sip client without certificate to talk to SER. SER with this setting acting as TLS client send his certificate (Mutual authentication is possible). Lots of information including verification status is written into @tls select. See iptel.org tls module page.
By mean of the @tls select you can i.e. authenticate clients with client certificate. To make in larger scale you need mapping between CN and ser UID.
@tls.peer.verified is very useful in conjuction with Require=0 and Verify=1 setting. This way you check if the client presented his certificate and it was verified.
Require=1 and Verify=1 is the strongest setting that forces to provide client certificate. If it is not presented, connection fails.
SSL vs TLS

TLSv1 is RFC3261 compliant setting but SSLv23 is better for extended compatibility. If you are sure that you neighbors are set to TLSv1 use TLSv1. TLSv1 client can make connection to SSLv23 server but SSLv23 cannot talk to TLSv1 server. Dont' forget that a new TLS connecetion from opposite site can be established during the call.
Eyebeam is TLSv1 Capable but i.e. Linksys SPA 942 need SSLv23.
Sample config
Sample config without registrion authentication and with tls routing to domainB (not necessary for enabling TLS for clients)

- Invalid TLS version: though TLS 1.0 should be used according to the SIP RFC, SSL 2/3
- certificate verification. CA list often doesn't include the necessary certs.
- Common name of the server certificate does not match DNS name of the server
