MechanismInformationCallback blocks certificate based authn (Undertow with Elytron)

XMLWordPrintable

      It is not possible to set up authentication based on certificates. Following the community documentation [1,2] to set up 2-way SSL for apps and certificates based auth. Everything works as expected until a client with client certificate tries to access protected resource that should be accessible. Such resource returns 403 Forbidden instead of 200 OK. Trace log:
