client certification

Securing communication between servers is crucial in any IT environment focusing on data integrity and confidentiality. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through Mutual TLS (mTLS), an extension of TLS (Transport Layer Security) that requires both the client and the server to authenticate each other. This ensures a bi-directional security mechanism that increases trust between communicating parties. This article will guide you through the setup process of mTLS on a Linux system using Bash. Before diving into the setup process, please ensure you have the following: OpenSSL: This tool will help in generating keys and certificates. Access to Terminal or Command Line Interface on Linux.
