Description

Is it possible to establish encrypted server - client connection and validate client is allowed on this server and vice-versa?

Story: I want to deploy my personal rustdesk-server and configure clients to be valid only for this instance. mTLS-like scheme should fit.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reviewing how the RustDesk server establishes encrypted client connections and validates clients, then determine whether mutual validation is supported or would require a new design. Done would require a defined approach for restricting clients to one personal server and validating the server in return.
