Q: CXF and Mutual authentication

I've been struggling to work out if CXF supports mutual (certificate)
authentication. It would appear XFire had this sorted some time ago
http://xfire.codehaus.org/HTTP+Transport.

Thanks in advance!
Adam

Thankyou for the good news! Still having issues and I get the feeling the
following  http://www.nabble.com/file/p16922997/2444291761_fb40038f35_o.jpg 
isn't actual mutual authentication!

I'm referring to
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html#HowSSLWorks
(search for "The SSL Protocol") 
http://www.nabble.com/file/p16922997/sslmessages.gif  which indicates I
should find a "Certificate Request" (step 4).

What do you think?
Thanks again!

Adam

I think so, but perhaps our documentation[1] is not as strong as it
should be.  The TLSParameterBase[2], which is the superclass of
TLSClientParameters explained in [1] and TLSServerParameters[3] for the
service provider should be able to support what you need.

HTH,
Glen
