Client SSL pass to back end servers

I have the F5 configured to do client side ssl. I want to know how or can I send the client ssl to our back end web servers so the web servers can verify if it is the correct cert for its web site and not another client cert we have issued?

 

 

Would you do this with a iRule or other method?

 

 

Thanks for the assistances!

    You would do this in an iRule by inserting the cert into a custom header in the packet, and configuring the webservers to look for this header.

     

     

    The command you'd be using would be X509::whole . You can read more about this, and other iRules commands here:
