How to properly perform mutual authentication in java and weblogic 12c?

I have a java application running on a WebLogic 12c instance. I would to perform a mutual authentication with HttpsURLConnection but I didn't understand if I need to create a SSLSocketFactory (code side approach) and/or setup the "Two Way Client Cert Behavior" on the server of WebLogic (configuration approach). In this case, should the client certificate be imported into the weblogic or java keystore?

Solution

  • You should configure WebLogic for two-way SSL to enable a double authentication (client & server). This documentation explains how to achieve this.
