<p><span dir="auto"><span class="autocomment">Configure AppBoard for Client Authentication</span></span></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Client Certificates / Client Authentication}}<br /> [[Category:AppBoard 2.6]]<br /> ==Overview==<br /> Most people are familiar with secure web sites, sites that begin with the address &lt;tt&gt;https&lt;/tt&gt;, that use certificates signed by authorities trusted to ensure the site is who it says it is. Lesser known is the server can request the client return a certificate to authenticate the client - this is known as (SSL) &#039;&#039;Client Authentication&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> AppBoard fully supports SSL Client Authentication and the main components to configure are:<br /> <br /> # Update Tomcat to enable client authentication<br /> # Create/Import Java Truststore used by the server to validate the client certificates.<br /> # (optionally) AppBoard may be customized to use this information beyond Tomcat validating the SSL session.<br /> <br /> == Enabling Client Authentication ==<br /> <br /> To enable HTTPS Client Authentication the first step is to enable HTTPS and have that working correctly. With that enabled the following runtime options also need to be set:<br /> <br /> * &lt;tt&gt;CLIENTAUTH&lt;/tt&gt;: set this to &lt;tt&gt;true&lt;/tt&gt;<br /> * &lt;tt&gt;TRUSTSTORE_FILE&lt;/tt&gt;: required if client authentication is enabled.<br /> * &lt;tt&gt;TRUSTSTORE_PASS&lt;/tt&gt;: if the truststore is password protected.<br /> * &lt;tt&gt;TRUSTSTORE_TYPE&lt;/tt&gt;: to identify the type of truststore file.<br /> <br /> See the [[appboard/2.6/admin/runtime_options|Runtime Options]] page for more information on these settings and how to configure them. After making any changes then restart the AppBoard service.<br /> <br /> {{Note|It is recommended to contact Support and engage the Edge Solutions team to help with the basic configuration and further customization that may be needed.}}</div>
