Re: Client Cert Authentication behind an apache proxy without headers

Yes, the above link provides a directive to authenticate proxy which is not what I am looking for.

I actually thought that I could use connect protol to create a tunnel from client through proxy to the backend server.

What do you think about that?

You can make your proxy identify with a specific key-cert combination with:
SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile

But "passthrough" as you say, that's not how proxy works AFAIK.

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to pass on the client cert as it is to a backend server through an apache proxy without using the SSL headers.

Scenario:

Client---https--->Proxy(:443)---https--->BackEnd(:PORT)

The above figure is what I want to set up.

So, basically I want apache proxy to act as a man in the middle and just forward the https request as it is.

Please let me know if someone has an idea on this.

Thanks,

Pankit
