> This is a patch enabling requesting client certificate authentication without 
> further validation of the certificates provided by the client. Rationale:
> Enabling requests of client certificates by setting 
> "org.apache.felix.https.clientcertificate" to "wants" or "needs" requests a 
> client-certificate from any connecting client. Depending on the value set, 
> this is either an optional or mandatory step to be fulfilled by the client in 
> order to have it's HTTP-request further processed. 
> The client-certificate obtained is validated against either the 
> CA-certificates found in the truststore or - if none given - by the server's 
> certificate itself.
> For some usecases, this validation is unsuitable or not possible at all, 
> namely for supporting WebID-style (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebID) 
> authorization processed by a servlet within the container.
