Looking for the plugin's configuration parameters? You can find them in the TLS Handshake Modifier configuration reference doc.
The TLS Handshake Modifier plugin requests, but does not require the client certificate. It doesn’t perform any validation of the client certificate. If a client certificate exists, the plugin makes the certificate available to other plugins acting on this request.
This plugin must be used in conjunction with the TLS Metadata Headers plugin.
Client certificate request
Client certificates are requested in the ssl_certificate_by_lua phase where Kong Gateway does not
have access to route and workspace information. Due to this information gap, Kong Gateway asks for
the client certificate on every handshake if the tls-handshake-modifier plugin is configured on any route or service.
In most cases, the failure of the client to present a client certificate doesn’t affect subsequent
proxying if that route or service does not have the tls-handshake-modifier plugin applied. The exception is where
the client is a desktop browser, which prompts the end user to choose the client cert to send and
leads to user experience issues rather than proxy behavior problems.
To improve this situation, Kong builds an in-memory map of SNIs from the configured Kong Gateway routes that should present a client certificate. To limit client certificate requests during a handshake while ensuring the client certificate is requested when needed, the in-memory map is dependent on all the routes in Kong Gateway having the SNIs attribute set. When no routes have SNIs set, Kong Gateway must request the client certificate during every TLS handshake:
- On every request irrespective of workspace when the plugin is enabled in global workspace scope.
- On every request irrespective of workspace when the plugin is applied at the service level and one or more of the routes do not have SNIs set.
- On every request irrespective of workspace when the plugin is applied at the route level and one or more routes do not have SNIs set.
- On specific requests only when the plugin is applied at the route level and all routes have SNIs set.
The result is all routes must have SNIs if you want to restrict the handshake request for client certificates to specific requests.
