Enable client authentiction on one webpage only on a website

Hi Team,

 

I have a website and I want to configure a client authentication on one web page only and clients are using usb tokens below all info I have

 

1- website name:

 

2- page need to configure client authentication for it :

 

3- uploaded certificates:-

 

  • SSL cert for the website
  • root CA of the server
  • client certificate which is installed on the usb token already

So what do I need to configure in f5 to enable client authentication from the usb tokens on page only

 

Thank

    You have to enable client authentication in the clientssl profile. There is a section there with multiple options.

     

    You could have multiple clientssl profiles on the same virtual server, and based on the requesting host the correct one would be selected. You can't do that based on the HTTP path like /edit.aspx.

     

    Basically, the SSL connection is established, where the client is requested to send his certificate (besides the server). After that, what HTTP path you access has no relation with SSL anymore.
