Hi guys

A quick question regarding Vertx Web module.

I would like to create Mutual TLS (Vertx server validating Client certificate as well as Client validating Server certificate) between my Vert.x Microservice and Clients.

Is there a simple configuration option for Vert.x HTTP server to do that or would I need to implement AuthProvider ?

Answering my own question after a brief chat with @Sticky on irc #vertx channel.

It is possible to specify

new HttpServerOptions().setClientAuth(ClientAuth.REQUIRED).setTrustOptions(...)

where trust options should contain details of Trust store, holding Trusted client certificates.

Thanks Tim

It's one of those days when I look at docs and still don't see it :)
