Thanks Hamish, thanks Kevin for your feedback and tips ;-)

 

Many applications that support SSL and client certificate authentication will usually layer the SSL over the underlying protocols, so you could certainly offload the SSL and consume the client cert using a TCP-based virtual server.

 

(Correct me if I'm wrong). I agree with you but this option works for "SSL-ready" applications. In the case of non-web applications of the customer, they are not able to provide the certificate by them selves and that's the tricky part... Currently they are not authenticated thanks to the user's certificate and I need to find a way to change that.

 

I'll try to find useful documentation in all *f5 sites.

 

Thanks again for your help.
