CirrostratusMutual authetication from imperva to F5
Hello team,
I would like to know how F5 manage mutual authenticazion from Imperva waf.
In detail waf does not send certificate but, it is inside header http.
I have read documentations but it is referred only about how to configure authentication on F5;
in this case F5 works as man in the middle.
It when reveive the certificate will provide to send to the b.e.
Someone knowns how F5 manage it or is it possible to configure it by using F5 ?
Many thanks in advanced for your time.
I hope to receive information .

You could definitely use iRules to extract cert from header and validate it as you wish
unavailableHello,
many thanks for your fast reply.If I would not use Irule, the process will work with no problem or
is necessary use Irule ?I read documentations of it and, when certificate arrive on F5, it will
process the request also with no irule.In my scenario the architecture is:
Client → Imperva WAF (Cloud) → F5 BIG-IP LTM → App ServersMany thanks for your support.

Of course it will process the request.
It will just not verify anything and just pass the cert header back to the app server, app server then will need to deal with the cert header and perform mTLS if needed.
