My office is currently working with the 3,.0 version of Glassfish and version 2.0 of the Apex Listener (Now known as ORDS). What we have is, users will log into our Apex application via the Apex Listener and provide a local certificate to be viewed by the glassfish server. Now, when glassfish calls the Apex listener, we would like it to pass the DN string from the certificate to the Apex listener which then would pass it to our Apex application as part of the authentication process.
Right now one of our former developers has developer a WAR file add-on to the APEX Listener to have it gather the DN string from the client side certificate and pass it to our Apex application.
Can't Glassfish create a cgi variable containing the client side certificate information and pass it through the Apex listener (which the Listener could read and send the application, or in fact if it is in the available cgi variables, our application can grab it then).
Thank you,
