Toby,

I'm about to try out the ssl client auth stuff.  I looked in javadoc,
but didn't see anything.
What all did you have to do to get client auth working?

I assume I at least have to do (the equivalent of) the following (on the
command line):
        -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=arces-ca-trust.jks
        -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=secret
        -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=b-0480-identity.jks
        -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=secret

Did you use Simple?  Is there any additional configuration required
there?

Also, where are you doing:
        getContext().getParameters().add("needClientAuthentication",
"true")

Are you doing it in Restlet.createRoot() or somewhere else?

These two features are working well for me in 1.1b1.

More specifically, as expected, client authentication succeeds against
my CA and fails against foreign CA, or out of date certificate. I
haven't tested a revocation list.

        getContext().getParameters().add("needClientAuthentication",
"true")

And I can retrieve the certificate details that I need as follows:

        List<X509Certificate> certs =
        
(List)req.getAttributes().get("org.restlet.https.clientCertificates");
        X509Certificate firstCert = certs.get(0);
        ... firstCert.getSubjectX500Principal().getName() ...

Thankyou very much for the work.
