Thanks a lot! I've just tested WebSphere PlugIn, but the result is the same as using reverse proxy for contact the backend server. It desn't work!!!! I think that the only solution in a short time for me is to modify my webapplication. I can made my application asking for client cetificate in the web.xml but I don't like it very much!!!! Is there something else could you suggest me? If, for example, I could using Tomcat instead of WebSphere, are you sure I will be able to pass client certificate information to the application server only using mod_ssl and mod_proxy or....... have I to add mod_jk too?
You'll have to use mod_jk. Please let me know.
