SSL Decryption with Mutual (2 Way) Authentication

Not applicable

Hi,

I have traffic that uses mutual (2 way) SSL Authentication that I would like to decrypt. I was able to decrypt when just using the server certificate, but when I add the client certificate it no longer decrypts (the connection still works though).

I have look around the docs/site and have not seen much mention of this scenario. I would like to know if it is supported? If so, how do you configure it?

Hi,

SSL decryption cannot be used when servers require client certificates.

You can however still use SSL inspection. That is give your PA device the private key of the server and the PA will be able to "tap" the traffic.

However I dont think this will work if the endpoints are using DH (Diffie Hellman).
