I would like to write a filter that accesses a client certificate attached to the servlet request without using a proxy server. And after three weeks of searching, I'm beginning to feel like it is not possible. Because every article I've found assumes the request was forwarded from a proxy server.
So my questions are: Is it even possible? If it is, can someone point me in the right direction? Also, if it is possible, but strongly discouraged for security reasons, let me know that as well. I am not adverse to using a proxy server, especially if it is considered a "best practice".
