Q: 

How to configure WCF with transport security behind a load balancer

I have a WCF service that will be configured to use transport security with a certificate. The service will sit behind a load balancer (F5).

The service certificate will be installed on the load balancer which will terminate the SSL session. I understand how to configure this---my question is whether or not I will be able to authenticate the client using the client certificate. Is this possible, or do I have to choose between client certificate authentication or load balancing?

Check out this Michele Leroux Bustamante article that covers this particular scenario:
