Choosing the type of client authentication protection

If we enable client authentication, the server validates clients by checking for trusted certificate authority (CA) root certificates in the local key database.

By default, the IHS enables the cache accelerator.

For each virtual host, choose the type of client authentication:

1. Specify one of the following directives in the configuration file, for each virtual host stanza:
   1. SSLClientAuthRequire. For example, SSLClientAuthRequire CommonName=Richard
   2. SSLFakeBasicAuth. If we specify SSLFakeBasicAuth, verify that the mod_ibm_ssl module is displayedlast in the module list.

2. Save the configuration file and restart the server.
