title: Auto mTLS

test: n/a

|
Auto mTLS is a feature of Istio to automatically configure client side proxies to send
|
|
[mutual TLS traffic](/docs/tasks/security/authentication/authn-policy/#auto-mutual-tls)
|
|
on connections where both the client and server are able to handle Mutual TLS traffic.
|
|
Istio downgrades to plaintext when either the client or server is not able to handle such traffic.
