Description

Hi,

is there a way to do mutual TLS authentication between the client and grpc-gateway? I'd like to check if the client's public key is in a list or the certificate is signed by a specific CA and copy the client's name or the certificate's common name to grpc metadata. Sounds like a use case for some middleware, right?

Best, Malte
