The plan is to bypass the sign on page when tomcat is configured to use client authentication.

So if my sign on servlet gets invoked, AND clientAuth=true, I won't display the sign on page, but take another path. I'll have more work to do to actually log the user in, but it'll be by using the certificate used in the TLS/SSL connection through RACF on a z/OS mainframe running Tomcat under USS (Unix System Services).

This is a one-off configuration for a client demanding smart card ONLY log in. All other installations of the product use a normal log in page for sign on; not a smart card.

I'm no Tomcat expert, so if there is another way to determine if clientAuth=true, that would work, too.

Here is my connector:
<Connector
                 port="443"
                 clientAuth="true"
                 scheme="https"
                 secure="true"
                 SSLEnabled="true"
                 maxThreads="200"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
                 useSendfile="false"
                 .
                 .
                 .
/>

So at runtime, can I read the value of clientAuth?
Yes, if you go via JMX.

Why do you want to do this?
