Sorry to butt in but you know that this IS supported if you're using the
internal tomcat 3.2b6 webserver...
You can access the client certificate if the connection comes through
the HTTP server of Tomcat. Then you can use the
request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.blablabla") just as described in the
servlet docs (of course you only get access to the X509 information...
not the private key itself).
Of course you may not have the ability to run Tomcat as your HTTP server
but I hope this helps you a little (maybe you can continue developing on
Tomcat standalone while waiting for the support in Tomcat + Apache).
Kind regards, Stefan Freyr.

Subject: Re: SSL client authentication with Tomcat
Hi,
when you say this feature is not supported in Tomcat 3.x, do you also
mean
that it is not available either for Apache+Tomcat 3.1?
Thanks in advance
This feature is not supported in Tomcat 3.x presently, although it is
available in Tomcat 4.0 (pre-alpha nightly builds currently available).
