    MTLS is very similar to doing it with Integration Server. Setup up a TLS port and then have have client certificates required/requested on it. Do you have a specific problem that you are trying to solve in setting up MTLS ?

    Hi @Rupinder Singh
    Thank you for providing the inputs.
    I don't have any issue or error right now - I am implementing MTLS in my local API Gateway (10.15) only to understand the core concept and how it actually works behind the scenes.

    Concept is simple. When a client logs in, they are required/requested to submit their client certificates, instead of credentials. The client then sends their certificate in the TLS handshake and it that passes the server gets to the next step. Client certificates must must be imported and trusted using a truststore setup on the APIGW.
