checkout the info on using usermanager at www.orionsupport.com. Yes, you can use ssl
with x501 certificates and authentication with x501 certicicates. The api for the
various usermanagers are in the orion api documentation.

Hi guys
i need some more info about ssl and oc4j (orion 1.5.0)
here is the enviroment:
client authentication by SSL 3 using x501 certificates, the application
server (oc4j ) must validate and inspect the certificate info and
extract the
user information contained in it (....common name ....to use it as a
lookup
key in LDAP directory search ).
here are the question:
does the oc4j (orion 1.5.0) container provide a toolset or specific APIs
to validate the client digital certificate against a CA?
does the oc4j (orion 1.5.0) container provide a toolset or specific APIs
to extract
client user information from the digital certificate sent by the
client?
thanks a lot in advance
ciao
Paolo
