I have a question related to yours. You seem to have the kind of system I need to set up.
I am using Tomcat 5 and currently use FORM and the JDBCRealm for client authentication. I am in the process of moving to CLIENT-CERT. The documentation I have read says that the SubjectDN is used for the authentication and must be placed in the table and column:
userTable="users" userNameCol="username"
Question 1 : Does the userCredCol need to be populated?
Question 2 : The certificate SubjectDN filed contains special characters. Are these needed in the userNameCol as well? I guess the real question is "what is the format requirement on the authentication fields in the userTable?". How do I insert the values into my Oracle Database?
Thanks,
Jeff M
