Mutual TLS reference architecture
Hi F5 community, I’m looking for a mutual TLS (2-way TLS) reference architecture document showing flows from client via Big-IP LTM to server. I need to have defined external client connections auth...

TLS is normally done by certificates.
So you'd need a cert on the VS and one on the client.
And you can then tell the server config to enforce the trust,
The normal issue here is managing and maintaining the certificate on the client's.
It can also be done between f5 and the web servers, as there internal and fixed that's normally a little easier!
Just make sure the certs are kept up to date otherwise they'll all die!
Normally worth renewing each certificate at last a week a part on each web server to try to manage that.
