I have the following scenario -

        client        -----    Proxy                          ----- server.
            SSLClient -----   SSLServer | SSLClient   ----- SSL Server.

It is my intent to pass on the clients certificate to the server for
verification and acceptance.

Since, the connection is via a proxy, the clients certificate could reach
upto the proxy only and not beyond, to the server.  I believe, that the
proxy should not be able to use the clients cert in its connection with the
server, as the client certificate is tightly coupled with its public key.

I have visited the redhat's Stronghold webpage and their proxy server seems
to be capable of doing just this.

Is anyone aware of the technique employed.

Namaste,
R S Chandrasekhar
