Obviously, SSL protects traffic from any tampering by proxy. However, proxy can pass traffic through as-is when asked with CONNECT method; it might solve your problem depending on what this problem is (why do you need proxy in the first place?).

Yes, the above link provides a directive to authenticate proxy which is not what I am looking for. I actually thought that I could use connect protol to create a tunnel from client through proxy to the backend server.
What do you think about that?

    You can make your proxy identify with a specific key-cert
    combination with:
    SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile

    But "passthrough" as you say, that's not how proxy works AFAIK.

        Hi,

        I wanted to know if there is a way to pass on the client cert
        as it is to a backend server through an apache proxy without
        using the SSL headers.

        Scenario:
        Client---https--->Proxy(:443)---https--->BackEnd(:PORT)

        The above figure is what I want to set up.
        So, basically I want apache proxy to act as a man in the
        middle and just forward the https request as it is.

        Please let me know if someone has an idea on this.

        Thanks,
        Pankit
