The idea (I think) is to have the certificate chain in there. Your
client certificate is signed by some authority which may, in turn, be
signed by someone else and so on...
So you could get your client certificate as the first element, the one
who signed his certificate as the second and so on.

Subject: stupid question on array return by
javax.servlet.request.X509Certificateattribute
Why the attribute 'javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate' return an
array of X509Certificate.
I don't understand how it's possible because when my client choose an
certificate, he chooses only one...
For my test array contain always one element... so is it an
specification to anticipate the future ?
Best Regards
