client certs - how to choose which cert to use?

[Tim Wild]

Hi all,
Using a link to Sun code that a few people have posted before, I have 
client authentication working using HttpClient by creating my own 
SecureProtocolSocketFactory.

The problem i'm having is that it seems to automatically choose a 
certificate without asking me which one to use. Does anyone know how to 
modify the following code to retrieve a cert by name? Even a way to work 
out which client cert is loaded would be great.

Thanks
Tim
SSLSocketFactory factory = null;
SSLSocket socket = null;
try {
  SSLContext ctx;
  KeyManagerFactory kmf;
  KeyStore ks;
  char[] passphrase = "password".toCharArray();
  ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
  kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
  ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
  File f = new File(".keystore");
  FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
  ks.load(fis, passphrase);
  kmf.init(ks, passphrase);
  ctx.init(kmf.getKeyManagers(), null, null);
  factory = ctx.getSocketFactory();
  socket = (SSLSocket) factory.createSocket(host, port);
} catch (Exception e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}
