Re: Proxying SSL certificates

[Rodrigo Ruiz]

Thanks for all your responses. I will try another approach: having a 
"special" user only for my middleware, I will try to import the 
keys+certificates from the backend when I need them. The backend keeps a 
copy of all user certificates and keys, as they are all generated there, 
so stablishing a secure channel between both servers should maintain the 
server security, as long as the middle server is secure, of course ;-)

Best regards,
Rodrigo Ruiz

Hi all,

I am developing a web service(I will call it frontend) that must act 
as a client for a second web service(backend). The backend service 
expects a user certificate for authentication purposes, and I would 
like to configure the frontend service to also require a user 
certificate, and use the incoming certificate as the credentials for 
the backend.  Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo Ruiz
