Dear developers,

I have developed an SSL-based SessionManagement for our university's
e-learning system because I was unsuccessful to find any ability of Tomcat 5
to create and manage an SSLSession as in the JSSE-Specification.
Several weeks of googling after such a feature and asking questions in the
tomcat-user-mailingliste resulted in practically nothing.

Because we wanted a session management without having to force our students
to activate cookies and without having to do url-rewriting, I did my own
development which resulted (after several refactorings) in our own SessionManagement. However, this SessionManagement is only a subpackage of our webapplication, which has also its own authentication mechanism due to other requirements that were set by our users. So far, it is a quite proprietary solution that might be changed
to be integrated as an alternative SessionManagement component.

Do you use client certificates?


I wonder if there is someone or some people who are interested in SSL-based SessionManagement? Or maybe there is some well hidden development underway with the same objective? Maybe we could exchange some experience and ideas and even find a way to add SSL-based SessionManagement to coming Tomcat versions?

If I should have been just blind to such a feature in Tomcat and there is already a working solution I apologize for this - in that case - unnecessary question in advance. In that case I would be happy if someone could point me to the right documentation
or source code to at least find what I searched for before.

Thank you,
