IIS Reverse Proxy ARR with certificate authentication

Question

I have a scenario where I want to consume a Webservice from a different server within our corporate network using JQuery. My origin application is an ASP.NET Website running on IIS 7.5, the Webservice is running on an SAP Netweaver Gateway, so no Chance to allow my IIS host there or to use JSONP.

The problem is that I run into the CORS issue, so I installed ARR on my IIS machine and tried to do a rewrite url and use my IIS to consume the remote Webservice. But the problem is, that the target Webservice requires Certificate authentication and it seems that this is not supported by ARR. Am I correct?

Any help is appreciated, Oliver

I have had a similar issue, in my first try I had both my application and ARR running on the same box and this was causing the Application's Authentication module to start first before ARR and was messing up the things, I found success when I had both of them run on different boxes.
