To prevent injection attacks the TLS termination proxy must be configured to The PEM string is then inserted as a special new HTTP header into the HTTP Optional additional URL-encoding applied to the PEM string The client certificate is first encoded into a PEM-encoded string, with Self_signed_tls_client_auth) and then pass on the certificate to theĬonnect2id server so that the server can obtain the necessary details from it. Proxy must check it according to the method ( tls_client_auth or If the client submits a certificate in the TLS handshake the TLS termination Define an HTTP header name for passing the client X.509 certificate Proxy method, because it's more flexible and makes load balancing simpler.
