Client Certificate Validity

Hi,

 

 

I had configured F5 to insert SSL Client Certiificate in HTTP Headers that mentioned in http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=5&view=topic&postid=13667.

 

 

Now I would like to add a Certificate Validity/Revocation check before inserting certificate into HTTP Headers. I don't want to insert certificate in http headers if it is expired or revoked by CA. Does anyone know how to do that check using CA CRL?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

    Check out this sample

    The only question I have is how is the SSL session maintained. Is it suppose to end if the client closes the browser?

    Thanks a lot. It worked.

     

     

    For your question, Yes it should end the session when client closes the browser.

     

     

    Currently, I set the timeout to 180.

     

     

    Thanks,
