i tried the following:
+ Add the mehtod authenticate(...) to the File JDBCRealm.java
+ build a Tomcat distribution
+ replace the catalina.jar with the new version (on an other machine)
+ add <role-name>full DN</role-name> to the web.xml
+ insert into table users ('DN','DN')
+ insert into table user_roles ('DN','DN')Then i try to connect with a browser to the protected ressource and the browser requests login and password.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Hi.
You can to implement a JDBCRealm with client certificates modifying the org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm class. You need add the public Principal authenticate(X509Certificate[] cert) method. Inside, you have to include the following lines:
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;
Connection dbConnection = null;
try {
// Obtain DN from client certificate. String dn = cert[0].getSubjectDN().getName();
// Ensure that we have an open database connection dbConnection = open();
// Acquire a Principal object for this user Principal principal = authenticate(dbConnection, dn, dn);
// Release the database connection we just used release(dbConnection);
// Return the Principal (if any) return (principal);
} catch (SQLException e) {
// Log the problem for posterity log(sm.getString("jdbcRealm.exception"), e);
// Close the connection so that it gets reopened next time if (dbConnection != null) close(dbConnection);
// Return "not authenticated" for this request return (null);
}
In authenticate(dbConnection,dn,dn); -> first dn = name of user (login) and second dn = credentials. These credentials can to be the OU of the certificate, etc.
With the previous example you have to put in <role-name> of web.xml the full DN, and you need to create a user in BD with username = DN full and credentials = DN full.
Luck!!

is it correct that only Memory- and JNDIRealm can perform the mapping between the DN included in a certificate and a users role?
Because of the lack of dynamic changes in MemoryRealm, i want to replace it with a JDBCRealm. Is there any information available how to implement a JDBCRealm that authenticates users by CLIENT-CERT.
thanks in advance
