They shouldn't be related. Assuming you have a client ssl profile configured for client cert auth (the client certificate should be set to "required") and you have a serverssl profile, you can insert the header.

 

The correct header is called "X-Forwarded-For" though, maybe you're trying to log out the wrong header?

    Our main motive is to get source IP address through https traffic.

     

    I was reading we just need client profile to forward the client authentication to backend server and doesn't require server profile as well and enable x forward in http profile for the same to work.

     

    Please guide.
