Hi,
I'm using IIB 10.0.0.9 and we are hosting REST API based services using HTTPInput nodes. These services are configured to be mutually authenticated and using TLSv1.2 protocol. The certificates are provided by our in-house Crypto team who has root CA and Issuing CA. They have distributed certificates to each application and are signed by the same Issuing CA. Within the broker we have imported public certs for only 2 other internal applications. But when we tested mutual authentication, broker is allowing all internal clients certificates who are signed by the same issuing CA not just the 2 clients whose public certs are imported into our trust store.
1) Is this correct behaviour? TLSv1.2 specific behaviour?
2) Can we enforce somehow to trust only those 2 clients and not everyone signed by the same authority?
Thanks in advance. |

You need to set up a policy and bindings that references those 2 certs in your truststore...

As far as I know, those are required for setting WS-Security which I'm not using (happy to be corrected). I'm using HTTPInput nodes and global "httplistener". Please note that if the client uses a certificate that is signed by a different CA, then it fails mutual authentication as one would expect. |

Standard HTTPS, even with client authentication, does not care who the client is... as long as the issuing cert chain is present in the trust store.
You might have to use propagation and verify the DN...
