Thanks for the answer, As far as I understand it, this would mean that the client talks to my proxy with one certificate and then the proxy decrypts and encrypts the request and uses the original servers certificate to communicate with the original server, i.e. Client ----- cert A ---> Proxy ----> cert B ----> Server What I would like is: Client ----- cert B ---> Proxy ----> cert B ----> Server Without the Proxy "reading" the request, simply passing it on. Is this possible at all? I have to put the proxy in the middle without changing certificates.
