F5, HTTPD and Mod_jk and Tomcat full HTTPS
Hi,
I have the following architecture :
Client => F5 => HTTPD => Mod_jk => Tomcat 8 IE : HTTPS -> HTTPS-> HTTPS -> AJP/13 -> AJP/13/SSL Connector
My application asks to the browser client a certificate to authenticate.
The previous solution was to attach the client certificate to the header and, I don't know how, build a X509 Object with. But the previous application was running on jBoss and there was no httpd server between F5 and him.
Do you think that there is a solution to make it works without using a level 4 SSL proxy ?
(I've build a tomcat application that show header values and they are OK, but the attribute java.security.cert.X509Certificate is always null, except if I bypass F5)
thank you very much,
Best regards
