Update Summary

Public Preview: Azure Front Door mutual TLS enables client certificate authentication before requests reach an application. It supports four validation modes and forwards certificates to origins via the `X-Azure-ClientCertificate` header.

Update Details

Security

  • Adds mutual TLS (client certificate authentication) to help protect sensitive applications and APIs.
  • Supports certificate validation at the edge for stronger client authentication.
  • Allows trusted public and private certificate authorities for client certificate validation.

New Features

  • Introduces mutual TLS for Azure Front Door custom domains.
  • Provides four client certificate validation modes: Require and validate, Require without validation, Validate when presented, and Pass through to the origin.

Hints

  • Upload the trusted certificate authority chain to Azure Key Vault and associate it with a Front Door custom domain.
  • When configured to forward certificates, Azure Front Door uses the X-Azure-ClientCertificate request header.
