Question about ServerAuthModule on HttpServlet layer and HttpRequest "javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate" attribute

Hi,

I'm trying to get a handle on the ssl client certificate in a httpServlet
layer ServerAuthModule (jsr196) but I keep getting null without knowing why.

Is the "javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate" HttpRequest attribute populated
after the ServerAuthModule execution ? If this is the case, is there a way to
trigger its population ?

Thanks in advance

Paul
