[jira] [Created] (KNOX-504) Enable SSL Mutual Authentication

Larry McCay created KNOX-504:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Enable SSL Mutual Authentication
                 Key: KNOX-504
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-504
             Project: Apache Knox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Server
            Reporter: Larry McCay
            Assignee: Larry McCay
             Fix For: 0.6.0


To establish a stronger trust relationship between client and server, we need to allow mutual auth with SSL via client certs. This is particularly useful in providing additional validation for Preauthenticated SSO with HTTP Headers. Rather than just ip address validation, connections will only be accepted from clients presenting trusted certificates.
