This page covers what mTLS is and how to use it for Connections in Vince Live.
mTLS is an extension of TLS where both the client and server authenticate each other using digital certificates, ensuring that both parties are who they claim to be.
When establishing a secure connection using the standard TLS protocol, only the identity of the server is verified.
mTLS can be used as an alternative to static IP for allowing network traffic.
mTLS can be used to secure the network traffic or to authenticate a Connection against a API.
To configure a Connection to use mTLS simply navigate to the Connection overview and under the Action menu, select Issue Certificate.
The certificate will then automatically be issued and used for future requests.
It is possible to use self-signed certificates or certificates signed by a customer managed CA.
Supported asymetric key ciphers:
