This option sets the path which is used to determine the names of Exim's log

+The &(tls)& authenticator provides server support for
+authentication based on client certificates.
+
+It is not an SMTP authentication mechanism and is not
+advertised by the server as part of the SMTP EHLO response.
+It is an Exim authenticator in the sense that it affects
+the protocol element of the log line, can be tested for
+by the &%authenticated%& ACL condition, and can set
+the &$authenticated_id$& variable.
+
+The client must present a verifiable certificate,
+for which it must have been requested via the
+&%tls_verify_hosts%& or &%tls_try_verify_hosts%& main options
+(see &<<CHAPTLS>>&).
+
+If an authenticator of this type is configured it is
+run before any SMTP-level communication is done,
+and can authenticate the connection.
+If it does, SMTP suthentication is not offered.
+
+A maximum of one authenticator of this type may be present.

+The &(tls)& authenticator has three server options:

+.option server_param1 tls string&!! unset
+.cindex "variables (&$auth1$& &$auth2$& etc)" "in &(tls)& authenticator"
+This option is expanded after the TLS negotiation and
+the result is placed in &$auth1$&.
+If the expansion is forced to fail, authentication fails. Any other expansion
+failure causes a temporary error code to be returned.
+
+.option server_param2 tls string&!! unset
+.option server_param3 tls string&!! unset
+As above, for &$auth2$& and &$auth3$&.
+
+&%server_param1%& may also be spelled &%server_param%&.
