I'm working strictly on the client side. On the server side are government
services that I need to access and are only available with smart card based
certificate authentication. I've got the authentication piece working using
PKCS#11 libraries. I am able to configure an HttpHandler with this
authentication and call the handlers executeMethod() and get a GetCapabilities
response from the WMS. I was hoping there might be some way to get the geotools
classes (e.g. WebMapServer, WMSCapabilities, ...) to use my HttpHandler. Chris

Subject: Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Using geotools with certificate authentication
I uDig we use this code and configure Java to prompt the
user for basic authentication:-
https://github.com/uDig/udig-platform/blob/master/plugins/net.refractions.udig.ui/src/net/refractions/udig/internal/ui/UDIGAuthenticator.java
Summary: you can register your own "authenitcator" in Java (recommended if you
are using this on the server side without access to a user).

GeoTools also contains a WFSAuthenticator for this purpose in order to supply
the user name and password connection parameters to the WFSDataStore.

I've just started playing with the geotools libraries (and web services in
general). Has anyone here used geo-tools to access sites that require
authentication through smart card certificates? I've sucessfully configured the
authentication piece. I am able to perform a GetCapabilities request using an
HttpHandler with authentication. But, I'm not sure how I can use this handler
to configure a geotools WebMapServer object. If I just pass the constructor the
URL, the security checks fail. Is there a way to use my HttpHandler with these
components?
As I mentioned, I'm new to all this so if I've left out any important
information or something I've said doesn't make sense please let me know and
I'll attempt to explain better.
The current code does not even support basic authentication, but Gabriel,
cc'ed, is adding a patchfor that, see
here:http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3860
The patch is about to be committed (on trunk at least, not sure if on 2.7.x as
well) and introduces a interface to isolate from the actual HTTP library used
in the background,with two implementations, commons http client and plain jdk,
not sure if it's pluggable,
but if it is you may be able to build and inject your version too
Hopefully Gabriel will see this one, otherwise you may also comment on the
aboveticket
Cheers
Andrea
