    Description

      It is not possible to set up authentication based on certificates. I followed the community documentation [1,2] to set up 2-way SSL for apps and certificates based auth. Everything worked as expected until I tried to deploy an app. I got this output

      This might be caused by different representation of CLIENT-CERT attribute within Elytron and Undertow. It appears that Elytron uses CLIENT-CERT [3] whereas Undertow uses CLIENT_CERT [4]
