Hi all,
I've enabled client authentication in Sun One Web Server 6.1 and it does
work fine when the client certificate is valid.
I would like to present the user with a good error message instead of the
generic one when his certificate is not valid.
In this case, the user has currently no clue of what happened, wether his
certificate has expired, is revoked, is false (bad signature), was provided
by a not trusted certificate authority, and so on.
This is very frustrating for non tec users as they don't know what to do.
Is there a trick to display client certificate authentication failure causes
to the user in Sun One Web Server 6.1 ?
Regards,
Jereme Bulzor
