Mutual SSL in AEM

In our current architecture we have our AEM author on JBoss server. The primary reason to do that was because AEM didn't provide capability for establishing Mutual SSL. Would want to know if in newer versions of AEM 6.3 or 6.5, can we establish Mutual SSL. If yes, can you please point to some documentation. This is required as we have to connect to services outside AEM.

Personally -- I'd avoid Mutual SSL if possible.

We have encountered very difficult-to-diagnose-and-troubleshoot edge cases where Java will incorrectly select the wrong certificate.

Hi, I am not looking for configuraing replication, this I have got. I am looking for Mutual SSL(MSSL) for consuming rest endpoints of other services.

But this bug talks about JDK bug specifically do you have any use case for Mutual SSL.
