style95 commented on issue #2427: Support client certificate on cli and nginx URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/2427#issuecomment-312538544 I think this feature is worth in the aspect of providing different authentication method. X509 client certificate is very common way to authenticate client(user). Many cloud provider such as AWS also support it. If OW supports this feature, user can just issue certificate for him and set it up for subsequent activities. In certificate, there will be information about users(subject). Since certificate is validated by root(trusted) CA, once it is validated, no more authentication process is required in server side. This can coexists with current auth method(`--auth`), and no need other extra component, it would be great to have this optional feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
