Client Base Authentication (MTLS)

[xxxAyxxx 3]

Hello Support Team,

First of all, Thank you for a grate product.

I have been using emby for the last couple of years after trying all the other competitors apps (Kodi, Jellyfin & Plex) It's clean, simple to use and just works!

My main issue now is regarding security, I'm publishing my server using reverse proxy (as most) and I have no way of protecting against unwanted access.

I do use signed public certificate on the server & proxy and I'm interested of utilize MTLS so only clients with allowed certificate will gain access to the server through the proxy.

As was mentioned previously on this post

Most platform supports Client Base Authentication (Mobile, PCs & most TVs) and the missing ingredient is Clients Apps support.

I'm sure a lot of emby users will be glad to add protection to there servers in order to defend from unwanted/malicious access.

Hi, this will depend on platform support, but for the platforms that do support it, yes we can look into it in future updates. Thanks.

Hello, is there anything new on the subject of mTLS? I'm considering switching from Plex to Emby but I can't get mTLS to work in the client apps for Android. Does this only work on the web?

Hi Luke,

How are the features prioritized?
Is there a way for the community to vote or donate for specific features to bump them up in your list?

Thx

Hi Luke,

Add me to the list of interested.  I created a community account just to let you know. 

I think over the next several years mtls is going to be very important for any service.  Many large orgs are already moving in that direction.

I too would love to see this feature added.
