> The HTTP SSL Filter allows simulating an HTTPS request on a system sitting behind an SSL terminating proxy. The proxy forwards SSL information to the system and the filter resurrects the SSL behavior for the web application.
> Apart from just resurrecting the fact that the original request was secure, it is sometimes also required to get at the client's certificate (if provided) used on the HTTPS session.
> The expectation is that the SSL terminating proxy provides the certificate in linearized (line breaks replaced by single blanks) PEM format in the "X-Forwarded-SSL-Certificate" header. The filter will convert this header value in an X509Certificate[] array to be set as the "javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate" request attribute as defined by the servlet API specification.
