In two previous posts I explained [how to setup TLS for a local Azure Service Fabric cluster][1] and [how to configure this for a cluster running on Azure][2]. In this post I describe how to setup client certificate authentication for the same API endpoint. Client certificate authentication requires that a client can only access the API with a client authentication certificate (certificate purpose [1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2][7]).

[Azure Service Fabric][1] is Microsofts [micro-services][2] platform. Well, it's actually more than that but that is all well-documented in other places on the interwebs.

It is relatively new and documentation is still a bit behind so I had some trouble in getting the following setup working:

• I want to run my production cluster on a domain name that is not the default. So instead of mycluster.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com I want my-api.my-services.nl.
• The custom API endpoint that is exposed through my cluster should run on https and not the default http.
