Re: How to use digital certificates

[Antonio Fiol Bonn�n]

Do you mean... ?

X509Certificate[] certs;
certs=(X509Certificate[])request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate");
if(certs!=null) {
X509Certificate crt = certs[0];

         // Use the cert here.
         String subjectDNName = crt.getSubjectDN().getName();
         System.out.println("Issuer: "+crt.getIssuerDN().getName());
         // And so on...
     }

I developed a "simple" test servlet that may help you test your servlet environment. If someone wishes it, I can contribute it to TC or send it privately for any use. For that, please contact me at work: < antonio dot fiol at red dot es >
