is there a way to use

.crt

files to mutual tls on ktor? (for ktor http client, on ktor server) Or do I have to create a

.jks

file 😒ad-panda:

Seems like JKS only. Out of curiosity, is it necessary for the app to provide TLS? Usually this is best provided by your load balancer, API gateway, or an nginx reverse proxy.

unfortunately, it is 😒ad-panda: I’m calling a bank third party API that requires that all the api calls go through mTLS

Ah, the things I've done to get away from mTLS. I'm not entirely sure mTLS precludes nginx, but I'll take your word for it. I just wonder if your app can send your requests to an nginx proxy, which then forwards it to the bank with mTLS.
