Authentication using client certificate in smartcard

[jagin]

Hello,

Suppose i have HTTPS client authentication with user certificate on smartcard configured with Tomcat.

How can I use it in Seam application. How to configure Authenticator component to get user certificate used in https connection?

You can get the client's certificate form the HttpServletRequest, as in plain servlets.
You could then validate and do whatever checks you need in your authenticate method
and return true if everything checks out.

Something like:

HttpServletRequest.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate");
