Can NGINX proxy a connection to an HTTPS server using a client certificate?

Question

Nginx

Hello!
I have the following situation:

Some of the requests that get to my web server , I want to redirect to an internal server using the HTTPS protocol.
At the same time, I want my web server to use a client certificate, so that the internal server can be sure that it is my web server that is accessing it , and not some other.
Actually the question is - is it possible to implement this on nginx? If so, where can I find information about installing certificates and possibly an example configuration.

Answer 1

Usually in the internal network they try to simplify the architecture.
Have you considered the possibility of just making a secure channel between them? Let's say the same openvpn will encrypt all traffic. You can also use certificates to connect one server (client) to another (server).

Answer 2

It’s impossible
that everyone could implement vmen in middle attacks
