SSL client cert auth between two Apache servers
Greetings all,
I have been bouncing around the idea of having one of my Apache servers authenticate against the other Apache server using Client SSL Certs. However I can not find a way to make Apache send a Client certificate when it initiates the request, using mod_proxy, to the other Apache server. However both Apache servers reside behind VIPs on LTMs. So what I am thinking is writing an iRule on Apache server A VIP to include the Client SSL cert when making a request to Apache server B VIP.
Before I start trying to tackle this I was wondering if anyone has done something similar , I have searched around the forums with minimal success but some good starting points.
Any pointers? Has anyone tried this before? Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance,
-Nick
