Thanks a lot!
I've just tested WebSphere PlugIn, but the result is the same as using
reverse proxy for contact the backend server. It desn't work!!!!
I think that the only solution in a short time for me is to modify my
webapplication.
I can made my application asking for client cetificate in the web.xml but
I don't like it very much!!!!
Is there something else could you suggest me?
If, for example, I could using Tomcat instead of WebSphere, are you sure I
will be able to pass client certificate information to the application
server only using mod_ssl and mod_proxy or....... have I to add mod_jk too?
You'll have to use mod_jk.
Please let me know.
Thanks
