Hi,  
We are using nginx ingress controller version 1.15.6 which is hosted in rancher cluster.  
When we have enabled -enable-passthrough for the ingress controller so that application can do tls verification.

But when we send any request it is not passing client certificate. Could you please help?

Hey,

in your custer configuration, you need enable-ssl-passthrough under rancher\_kubernetes\_engine\_config

```
  ingress:
    extra_args:
      enable-ssl-passthrough: ''
    provider: nginx
  kubernetes_version: v1.17.3-rancher1-1

```

Then you can add this annotation to your load balancing configuration

[nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough](http://nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough) = true

Hope this helps
