Client certificate authentication profiles

When client certificate authentication is enabled, a client certificate authentication profile must be selected. Configure client certificate authentication profiles on the Client Cert Auth Profile tab of the Configure > Security > Access Control page.

Note: You can have only one profile.

On the Client Certificate Authentication Profile page:

Steps

  1. Enter a Profile Name. This name will appear in the drop-down list on the Authentication Rules page.
  2. Select an entry from the User Name Mapping drop-down.
    Valid selections are Common Name (CN), Distinguished Name, or Email. This entry tells the authentication process how to extract the user name from the certificate.
  3. In the Certificate Authorities section, add, view, or delete certificates.
    The certificates used for authentication are manipulated the same way that SSL certificates are manipulated on the Configure > SSL > Certificates pages. Refer to the Adding new certificate authorities for assistance.
  4. Click Apply to save your profile.
