Thanks a lot for all your responses. I am sorry to hear that client authentication using X.509 cert isn't implemented in Apache DS. Is there any plan to implement this in future releases? Could someone perhaps point out which class/package in ApacheDS is responsible for handling the SSL connection?
Thanks!
