Client Authentication not supported in Tomcat 3.x.

[Mandar Joshi <ma...@commerceroute.com>]

Hi,

I was looking at the release notes for 3.2 and 3.3 and I found following
statement in there -
- DIGEST authentication and HTTPS client authentication (i.e. SSL) are not
supported in this release. 

Does that mean that I can not use Client Authentication in 3.x versions of
tomcat ? (Its confusing, since the connector example for https has a mention
of client authentication)

Thanks for your help,
Mandar

Tomcat 3.2.1 does not support DIGEST authentication as specified in the HTTP
spec.
Tomcat 3.2.1 does not support SSL client certificate authentication as
specified in the SSL spec.  I think this is what your reference is to.
Tomcat 4.0 already supports the former and will (reportedly) support the
latter by release.
Tomcat 3.2 ^ all support SSL as a transport mechanism either standalone
using Java SSL Extensions or as an Apache plugin with the SSL handled by
Apache modSSL.

I am currently using SSL with my FORM authentication.  You probably just can't 
use it for DIGEST.
