This isn't guaranteed. In terms of network, a MAC address is used in layer 2
communications and uniquely
identifies nodes on a network. Normally, if the actual client's MAC is able to
be 'retrieved' from a remote
source [not on the local network] it is likely the MAC is stored in other
header information (such as in netbios
information ala netbios over tcp/ip)

Hi all,
Is there a way we can get the MAC address of the client, from the
client side SSL certificate. what all client specific parameters can be
obtained from the certificate, apart from the regular certificate related
information like, the provider, validity dates and stuff.
