Author Apache 2.0.54 - WAS 6.0 - null client certificate

2005-10-24, 6:14 pm

Hello everybody!, I have developed an application that retrieves the client's certificate and checks if the certificate is valid by searching in a data base that has a list of revoked certificates. The development was done using apache and tomcat and eve
rything works fine. I am now trying to execute the same application using apache and WAS but the problem is that I receive a null object when trying to retrieve the client's certificate using the following code:

X509Certificate[] certificates = (X509Certificate[])request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate");

I know there is a known bug using this instruction and I have applied the fix pack that solves this problem but the problem is still there. If i access the protected page directly it works, but if i stablish first an ssl connection and after that I try t
o access the protected page I receive a null object. I am not using any WAS ssl configuration, all the ssl config is handled by apache. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
