Mutual authentication causes the web service provider and consumer to authenticate with
each other before communicating.

Mutual authentication is not available for outbound web services that use a MID Server.  
Hinweis:  
For information about mutual authentication for inbound web services, see [Certificate-based authentication](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=certificate-based-authentication&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

For information about using a custom HTTPS protocol profile to enable mutual authentication, see [Create a protocol profile](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jEh7P6VYVxMGJPm0I69RLg "You can create a custom HTTPS protocol profile to specify the credentials and certificates used for outbound web services. For example, you can create a custom HTTPS protocol profile to enable mutual authentication.").
