Usage
Documentation
<p>Specifies whether the <tt>HttpClusterServlet</tt> proxies the
 client certificate in a special header.</p>

 <p>By default (or if you specify <code>false</code>), the
 <code>weblogic.xml</code> deployment descriptor for each web
 application that is deployed on this server determines whether the
 web application trusts certificates sent from the proxy server
 plugin. By default (or if the deployment descriptor specifies
 <code>false</code>), users cannot log in to the web application
 from a proxy server plugin.</p>

 <p>A value of <code>true</code> causes proxy-server plugins to pass
 identity certifications from clients to all web applications that
 are deployed on this server instance. A proxy-server plugin encodes
 each identify certification in the
 <code>WL-Proxy-Client-Cert</code> header and passes the header to
 WebLogic Server instances. A WebLogic Server instance takes the
 certificate information from the header, trusting that it came from
 a secure source, and uses that information to authenticate the
 user.</p>

 <p>If you specify <code>true</code>, use a
 <code>weblogic.security.net.ConnectionFilter</code> to ensure that
 this WebLogic Server instance accepts connections only from the
 machine on which the proxy-server plugin is running. Specifying
 <code>true</code> without using a connection filter creates a
 security vulnerability because the
 <code>WL-Proxy-Client-Cert</code> header can be spoofed.</p>

 <p>A cluster can also specify whether the
 <tt>HttpClusterServlet</tt> proxies the client certificate in a
 special header. The cluster-level setting overrides the setting in
 individual servers that are part of the cluster.</p>
