Forum: NGINX Sending SSL Client Certificate upstream

Hello,

I am modifying my upstream servers so that they require client 
certificates
from clients, which are other backend apps making service calls and 
nginx
proxying for public requests. Public requests come to nginx without a 
client
certificate and are proxied upstream, but since the upstream server 
requires
a client cert they fail.

I'd like to be able to provide a client cert to nginx (from local file) 
to
send upstream for authentication. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Dave
