Dec 03, 2013Client certificate pass through
I am trying to pass a client certificate through the BIGIP to my backend system for client authentication without using APM.
Any help would be appreciated.

Dec 13, 2013I think maybe your problem description was a little confusing. You can certainly use the above rule to pass certificate data to the server as HTTP headers, but that's not technically a "pass through". Once you've terminated the SSL on the client side of the VIP, even if you re-encrypt, you cannot send the client's cert to the server in an SSL handshake. You can send it in an HTTP header though.
