Hi Michael,
(I guess this depends on the outcome of the thread started by Mary about
whether TLS sends a client certificate or not, but if I'm correct and it does
the following should be relevant).
Off the top of my head I can't think of any way to set it programmatically
(I'll have a look now to see if I can see any way) but, in the meantime, is
there a chance your use case allows you to simply configure the client
certificate in spring config? For example
<http:conduit
name="{http://me.com/greeter}TestPort.http-conduit";
>
<http:tlsClientParameters>
<cxfsec:keyManagers keyPassword="password">
<cxfsec:keyStore type="jks" resource="keys/claire.jks"
password="password"/>
</cxfsec:keyManagers>
<cxfsec:trustManagers>
<cxfsec:certStore resource="keys/trent-cert.pem"/>
</cxfsec:trustManagers>
</http:tlsClientParameters>
</http:conduit>
In the above example your client would automatically send the certificate in
Claire.jks to the server when the server is configured to require it. In
particular it will send it to the TestPort. You can configure your client to
send different certificates to different endpoints within the server.
Hope this helps
Eamonn

Hi
yes, thats that I was looking for. Its just the tls authentication...
Is there a programmatic way to set that property you mentioned to a client to
send a specific certificate?

Hi Michael
I'm just getting back to your original question, - does the authentication have
to be done "above" the transport or could you just let the TLS mutual
authentication mechanism do the work for you?
For example just setting the following on endpoint's tlsServerParameter
configuration would force the client to present a certificate to the service
for authentication
<cxfsec:clientAuthentication want="true" required="true"/>
Regards,
Eamonn

Hi Michael,
I remember one way to send the public key certificate with your request from
client to server. There is a "DirectReference" KeyIdentifier for Signature
operation (make "signatureKeyIdentifier" property to "DirectReference").
If we use this your certificate is included as a BinarySecurityToken (BST)
in the message and a direct reference to this BST is used. But at the
receiving side (say on server) you have to manually tweak the code of WSS4J
to extract out the certificate yourself.
With Regards,
Mayank
