To modify per-session authentication from the command
line
To modify the SSL proxy to require authentication not only once per
session, but also upon each subsequent reuse of an SSL session, specify
always argument with the bigpipe proxy command, as follows. This
changes the setting from once to always.

Authentication depth
Using this option, you can configure the maximum number of certificates
that can be traversed in the client certificate chain. The default value is nine.
If a longer chain is provided, and the client has not been authenticated
within this number of traversals, client certificate verification fails.

utility
1. In the navigation pane, click Proxies.
2. Click the Add button.
3. In the Client Authenticate Depth box, type a whole number.
4. Click Done.
To configure authentication depth from the command line
To configure authentication depth from the command line, use the
authenticate depth argument with the bigpipe proxy command, as follows:
b proxy <ip>:<service> [clientssl] authenticate depth <num>
Inserting headers into HTTP requests
You can configure the SSL proxy to insert several kinds of headers into an
HTTP client request. They are:
• A custom HTTP header
• Cipher specification
