SSL cilent certificate authentication
We have a web application (BigIP LTM -> iplanet web servers -> websphere application server).
The web application requires client certificate authentication and HTTPS.
We want to terminate the SSL in the BigIP and would like to do the client certificate authentication in the web server. Is this possible? So far, i can't get it to work.
The other option is to turn on client certificate authentication in the BigIP and pass the client certificate to the web server. Of course, the client certificate authentication is turned on in the web server.
I have tried to turn off client certificate authentication in the web server and turn on client certificate authentication in the bigip ltm and use irule to pass the client certificate in base64 format but that doesn't work..
any other options??
