Configuring your web application and server for client certificate authentication
You can configure your web application in Liberty using SSL client authentication.
Before you begin
This topic assumes that you have already created the SSL certificates, for example as described in Creating SSL certificates from the command line.
About this task
Client certificate authentication occurs if the server-side requests that the client-side send a certificate. A WebSphere® server can be configured for client certificate authentication on the SSL configuration. To do this, you add the ssl-1.0 Liberty feature to the server.xml file, along with code that tells the server the keystore information for authentication.
For details of which aspects of SSL are supported, see Liberty features.
