How do you set up a WMS data store (WMS cascade) in geoserver against a WMS that uses x509 authentication?

I'd like to add a WMS data store to my geoserver instance and have had success with WMS servers that have no authentication or basic username/password authentication, but I am now attempting to add a data store that uses x509 as its authentication method and I'm stumped.

When adding a WMS datastore through the admin console UI, all that's available is the username/password authentication: Connection Info Under for Creating a New WMS Connection

I have pored over the documentation and found the section detailing how to secure geoserver with x509 authentication, but haven't been able to turn up configuring geoserver as the x509 client.

I am familiar with and am using the properties for the ssl keystore and truststore but haven't been able to find anything indicating a client certificate store. I'm beginning to wonder if I need to setup a forward proxy that is configured with the proper client certs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There is (currently) no support for more than basic authentication in the GeoTools WMS datastore that GeoServer uses for cascading. So you can either add a local proxy to handle the X509 authentication for GeoServer or extend the existing code to handle other authentication methods.
