Apr 03, 2018Hi,
Do you expect that the load balancing decision is done based on client certificate?
TLS protocol is simple:
Client Server
ClientHello -------->
ServerHello
Certificate*
ServerKeyExchange*
CertificateRequest*
<-------- ServerHelloDone
Certificate*
ClientKeyExchange
CertificateVerify*
[ChangeCipherSpec]
Finished -------->
[ChangeCipherSpec]
<-------- Finished
Application Data <-------> Application Data
As you can see, the client doesn't send it's certificate until the server doesn't request it. If you don't want SSL offloading, the load balancing method must be done just after the client sent the first packet, but the client certificate is sent in the 2nd client packet.
