Client Certificate Authentication with SSL Termination at Load Balancer

31 Views

Hi,

We have client certificate authentication onto the J2EE engine (for portal). We are also using a HW load balancer (Cisco). I have read in the following links that by having the AcceptClientCertWithoutSSL property set to true, we can terminate SSL at the load balancer and forward the client certificate to the portal via HTTP. The documentation talks about using Web Dispatcher and ICM, however is this solution possible with a hardware load balancer (e.g. Cisco)?
