FW: Servlet to get client's certificate

["J. Chong" <cn...@ecs.soton.ac.uk>]

Hi,

	I have installed Apache, mod_ssl and OpenSSL. The thing I want to do is
create a servlet to get the client's certificate. I have successfully 
installed Jakarta Tomcat 3.2.1 and tested with HelloWorld servlet by HTTPS
and it works. That means the servlet works ok with SSL. However when I
tried to get the client certificate by

	String cert = 
(String)request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate");

	The cert is null. Please help. I have been struggling with it for like
ages. Thanks.

	Thanks for your help. Wish you all the best.



Best regards,
