Hello,
Does anyone have a definitive answer for how to retrieve client certificate
information in coldfusionMX7 using Apache 2.0.x (just http server, not tomcat)?
I can get it out of the environment in a perl script...I just don't know how to
pass it to coldfusion..the client cert CGI variables are null. I've also tried
using jsp's to retrieve the info. The information is obviously not getting to
jrun. I've searched high and low, nobody seems to know what to do.
Thanks

Apache 2.0.x (has been configured with SSLOptions +StdEnvVars +ExportCertData)
Coldfusion MX7

IVootmon,

I am trying to do the same on ColdFusionMX7 and ColdFusion8. The ColdFusion CGI variables for CERT_ are all empty. Did you find a solution to pass CERT_ info to ColdFusion? Thanks.

I am also trying to do the same thing with ColdFusionMX7. The closest I've
come is...

> <VirtualHost *:443>
> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[quoted text clipped - 8 lines]
> JkMount /ovt/* ajp13_worker
> </VirtualHost>

<cfset x509 = GetPageContext().getRequest().getAttribute("javax.servlet.
request.X509Certificate")>

problem is, I don't have TomCat installed which seems to install this library.
