Configure per-directory client authentication 编辑

If you create an action specifying client-side authentication on a per-directory basis, a client identified by a policy associated with the action is not authenticated as part of the initial SSL handshake. Instead, authentication is carried out every time the client wants to access a specific directory on the web server.

For example, you might have multiple divisions in the company and each division might have a folder in which all its files are stored. Enable per-directory client authentication for a directory to know the identity of each client that tries to access files from that directory.

To enable per-directory client authentication, first configure client authentication as an SSL action, and then create a policy that identifies the directory that you want to monitor. When you create the policy, specify your client-authentication action as the action associated with the policy. Then, bind the policy to the SSL virtual server that receives the SSL traffic.

Create an SSL action and a policy to enable client authentication by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type the following commands to create an SSL action to enable to client authentication and verify the configuration:

add ssl action <name> [-clientAuth ( DOCLIENTAUTH | NOCLIENTAUTH )]  

show ssl action [<name>]  

add ssl policy <name> -rule <expression> [-action <string>] [-undefAction <string>] [-comment <string>]

show ssl policy [<name>]
