how to use client side certifcates?

[Naresh Agarwal]

Hi

I'm writing HTTPS client using JDK. I want to perform client side authentication.

1) How can I enable client side authentication in JDK?
2) How should I tell JDK about the client side certificate?

thanks,
Naresh

1) SSLServerSocket method setNeedClientAuth(true);
2) Install your certificate in the JDK's cacerts using keytool
