Configuring Mutual Authentication
Administration Guide 14-59
Configuring Mutual Authentication
When WebLogic Server is configured for mutual authentication, clients are required to
present their digital certificates to WebLogic Server, which validates digital
certificates against a list of trusted certificate authorities.
To configure your WebLogic Server for the SSL protocol and certificate
authentication, complete the procedures in Configuring the SSL Protocol section.
Copy the root certificates for the certificate authorities to be used by WebLogic Server
to the
\wlserver6.1\config\ directory. During mutual authentication, clients are
required to present a digital certificate issued by one of these trusted certificate
authorities.
To configure mutual authentication, select the Client Certificate Enforced option on
the SSL tab in the Server Configuration window of the Administration Console. By
default, this option is not enabled.

SSL protocol secures connections through authentication and encrypts the data
exchanged between objects. To use the SSL protocol to protect RMI over IIOP
connections, do the following:
