Client Certificate Handling
The
Client Certificate Handling
section looks like this:
Using this section, you can configure what should happen if the server that is
requested by a client asks for a client certificate.
Using this section, you can configure tunneling for particular URL filtering cat-
egories. You can configure up to three categories for tunneling. These may
pre-defined or user-defined categories.
If you want to use additional categories, you need to enter them in the
global.ini
configuration file, which is located in the
conf
folder of the Web-
washer program files.
This tunneling option is not enabled by default. If you want to enable it, mark
the checkbox next to the section heading.
After specifying the appropriate information, click on
Apply Changes
to make
your settings effective.
Use the following radio buttons to configure the handling of client certificates:
•
Verify server certificate and use client certificates to decrypt ses-
sion
Enable this option to have both the server and the client certificate, i. e.
the certificate the client was requested to submit by the server, checked by
the verification process.
The certificate list is searched for the client certificate in order to authen-
ticate the client. If the search has been successful, the session will be
allowed and the communication decrypted. If no appropriate client certifi-
cate is found, the request will be denied.
Clicking on the
Client Certificates
link provided with this option, takes
you to the
Client Certificate
tab, where you can add more certificates to
this list.
