Description
Not able to pass Client Certificate information to the backend server
Resolution
The certificate as such cannot be passed to the backend when SSL vServer is configured, to do this an SSL_BRIDGE vserver needs be configured.
The Client Certificate information can be passed to the backend server as an HTTP Payload.
Steps:
1. Enable client certificate authentication
2. Create the following SSL policy
- add ssl action <actname> -clientCert ENABLED -certHeader CLIENT-CERT
For <actname>, substitute a name for the SSL action. - add ssl policy <polname> -rule true -action <actname>
For <polname>, substitute a name for your new SSL policy. For <actname>, substitute the name of the SSL action that you just created. - bind ssl vserver <name> -policyName <polname> -priority 10
For <name>, substitute the name of the VPN virtual server.
