Thank Yann,
From this I could understand below. Could you please confirm in my
understanding is correct?
When using IHS + Plugin + WAS.
Browser --> IHS --> Plugin --> WAS
We used to enable mutual auth between IHS and Plugin by exchanging their keys,
Mutual auth between Plugin and WAS by exchanging their keys.
If we want to enable mutual auth between browser and IHS we added "
SSLClientAuth = required" in conf file and added client certificates in HIS kdb.
When using Apache + Proxy + WAS
Browser --> Apache --> Proxy --> WAS
I need to request a certificate for Apache and pass that using
SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile.
I need to request a certificate for Proxy and include both key and CA in
single file and add it in SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile.
Then add Proxy certificate CA to WAS truststore and enable
SSLClientAuth=required on WAS end?
In this way I can enable mutual auth between Apache - Proxy.
And mutual Auth between Proxy - WAS?
After I disabled client auth required on WAS end I'm able to make a call
between Apache and WAS. Now I need to request a new certificate for proxy and
point it to SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile?
Please correct me if I'm doing something wrong.

Obviously the proxy doesn't send its key, here "proxy.crt+key" means both
should be concatenated in the same file for the proxy to load them.

While here "proxy.ca.crt" means the concatenation of "proxy.crt" and the CA
which signed it.
