Howdy folks,

If I setup a tomcat connector in server.xml with clientAuth="true" and have
the key store for tomcat and a trust store is the following true?

- all public key certificates issued by CA's the trust store are allowed in?
- all user public key certificates in the trust store are allowed in
(assuming their CA's are also in the same trust store)?
- are the JRE's "cacert" file merged in with this trust store? (this is
normally the case but i figured i'd ask for clarity)


Finally regarding certificate validation:
- i'm assuming basic validation checks are performed, time checks, etc
- if the requesting user cert has a CRL or OCSP url attached to the cert,
does tomcat do anything to validate that the cert is still valid?

Regarding OCSP, I did see some documentation in the guides related to
windows native connector but I don't think i'm using that and would prefer
to remain portable to linux if possible. It's also not clear from the docs
on how or why it's used.
