Pass SSL Certificate to Weblogic Cluster through Apache Proxy under
SSL
This Paper will introduce how to pass certficate to Weblogic Cluster
through Apache Proxy under SSL.
Before you read this paper, please read another blog of mine( but not
necessary).
<<Apache Proxy with Weblogic Cluster under SSL>>
http://www.aygfsteel.com/security/archive/2007/01/07/WeblogicClusterWithApacheProxyUnderSSL.html
As fas as we know,? Apache proxy wouldn't support? two way SSL with
Weblogic Managed Server, so
?we should let weblogic managed server work under one way ssl
mode(see <<weblogic security in action>> for
more information).
IE Client? ->? Apache Proxy -> Weblogic Cluster(Managed Server)
Below are the Configuration:

Let me introduce some thing about Apache SSL：
1)? SSLCACertificateFile is the certificate that will present to
client before the SSL Context is build.
2)? IE Client will then analyse that certificate and know which
Identity should send to Apache Proxy
for authentication( make sure that client had been import the correct
PFX/P12 into IE)
3) If client have more one certificate Identity, then IE will pop up
a small windows to let us choose
which certificate(we already had a related private key for this
certificate) we want to use for SSL
- -HandShake.
4) Then if we choose to use one, we pass the selected certificate to
Apache Proxy Server.
Note:
if you turn on the Log for Weblogic Apache Plugin, then you will get
these:

- ------------------------------------------------------------
the cerficate is already encoded in to request header
[WL-Proxy-Client-Cert].
Until now,? Apache Proxy Server get what it wanted---certificate.
Before the client pass the certificate to backend(Weblogic Cluster),
the apache proxy server has been build
the SSL connection with weblogic server(one way ssl , not two way
ssl).
On Apache Server(2.0), we turn on the "SSLOptions +ExportCertData"
which equals "SSLExportClientCertificates"
under Apache 1.3
This parameter make Apahce Proxy Server known that the client hope to
pass Certificate to Weblogic Server under SSL.
Is those configuration enough? Not Yet.? Because Weblogic Server is
not prepare to accept Client Proxy Certificate. That
means when apache proxy pass certificates of other clients, weblogic
won't accept them.
Then we should turn on the [ Client Cert Proxy Enabled ] on weblogic
managed server throught Weblogic Server Console.
It seems you can do that through:
dizzyClusterDomain> Clusters> dizzyCluster
General -> Client Cert Proxy Enabled,? Click it.
Do that on all weblogic managed server in the weblogic cluster !
Reboot your Weblogic Managed Servers.
That's OK. Now that your weblogic Cluster can accept client's
certificates.
Write a simple JSP(or use):
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
??? pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ page import="java.security.cert.*" %>
