That depends of the webserver or the servlet server ??
I work with apache and JServ.

Dear Thierry
The certificate acquisition stuff varies between web servers. I don't know
how to do it with Apache, but the following works with iPlanet:
Object cert =
request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate");
X509Certificate certificate = (X509Certificate) cert;
It may be the same for Apache...
Nick.

Subject: How can i get a certificate in a servlet ?
Hello
I run my servlets on apache with mod SSL configurated for mutual
authentification
(the client must also send his certificate to the server for
authentification)
And i want to get the client certificate in a servlet. But i don't know how
i can do that !
I tried to use the follow code but it seems to work only with Java Web
Server.
String cipherSuite = (String)
req.getAttribute("javax.net.ssl.cipher_suite");
out.println("Cipher Suite" + cipherSuite);
if(cipherSuite != null)
{
X509Certificate certChain[] = (X509Certificate) req.getAttribute
("javax.net.ssl.peer_certificates");
if (certChain != null)
{
for (int i=0; i< certChain.length; i++)
{
out.println("Client Certificate ["+i+"] = " +
certChain[i].toString());
}
}
}
Please HELP ME ! :-)
Thierry
