Hello,
i'm using tomcat-4.0.3 has my front web server do accept request with the protocol https (mutual authentication). When i try to access the certificate presented by the client in the servlet, with this code :
java.security.cert.X509Certificate cert = (java.security.cert.X509Certificate) httpRequest.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate"
;
i get always the variable cert = null.
Now my question is, tomcat never export the ssl variables like the X509Certificate ? Do i need to have a apache mod_ssl in my frontend web server to talk with the tomcat and pass the information about the client certificate to him ?
Thanks
.david
