tomcat-SSL

Hi
   I have configured tomcat-SSL as an Standalone.
   Its working Fine
   I have used JSSE 
   Well i need some more step-by step dtails for more Secured
Authentication. In the Server.XML in the SSL phase if i set 
   parameter=clientAuth value=true then it will expect clients Certificate
too from the Client side. I wanna know on the Server side how do i have
the clients Certificate for Authentication.
Or any other Steps for Client Authentication with respect to Certificates.
Thanking you.
Bye

The jsse classes do on part of you.
no need for u to do anything even in case of client authentication, as we do
nothing in server Authentication.
lf u r connecting as client to other severs and they need client
Authentication.
u should have ur client cert in ur keystore.

Am l making sense?
