## Configuration Options
### General
2021-02-11 13:34:04 +00:00
PassTLSClientCert can add two headers to the request:
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
2022-10-13 13:08:08 +00:00
- `X-Forwarded-Tls-Client-Cert` that contains the pem.
2019-04-08 15:14:08 +00:00
- `X-Forwarded-Tls-Client-Cert-Info` that contains all the selected certificate information in an escaped string.
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
2019-09-23 12:32:04 +00:00
!!! info
2019-09-19 07:06:03 +00:00
2022-10-13 13:08:08 +00:00
* `X-Forwarded-Tls-Client-Cert-Info` header value is a string that has been escaped in order to be a valid URL query.
2021-06-11 13:30:05 +00:00
* These options only work accordingly to the [MutualTLS configuration ](../../https/tls.md#client-authentication-mtls ).
2019-09-19 07:06:03 +00:00
That is to say, only the certificates that match the `clientAuth.clientAuthType` policy are passed.
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
2021-02-11 13:34:04 +00:00
The following example shows a complete certificate and explains each of the middleware options.

2019-04-08 15:14:08 +00:00
2021-02-11 13:34:04 +00:00
The header size limit of web servers is commonly between 4kb and 8kb.
2021-07-28 15:42:09 +00:00
If that turns out to be a problem, and if reconfiguring the server to allow larger headers is not an option,
one can alleviate the problem by selecting only the interesting parts of the cert,
through the use of the `info` options described below. (And by setting `pem` to false).
2019-04-08 15:14:08 +00:00
2019-04-03 12:32:04 +00:00
### `info`
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
2021-02-11 13:34:04 +00:00
The `info` option selects the specific client certificate details you want to add to the `X-Forwarded-Tls-Client-Cert-Info` header.
The value of the header is an escaped concatenation of all the selected certificate details.
2021-07-28 15:42:09 +00:00
But in the following, unless specified otherwise, all the header values examples are shown unescaped, for readability.
2019-04-08 15:14:08 +00:00
2021-07-28 15:42:09 +00:00
The following example shows such a concatenation, when all the available fields are selected:
