All -
Is there a way to define an HTTPS content repository in RHQ where the
authentication is done using the user's PKI cert?
I know you can currently define an http repo similar to the the JBoss repo
where the user's credentials are entered as username and password combo.
Our use case is such that instead of using username/password we want to be
able to derive that information from a PKI certificate that is already
loaded into the browser being used by the user.
This is similar to having a web application that is using client-cert as
its auth-method (in the web.xml) and then having a filter or login module
to process the cert and retrieve the principal's info from that cert.
I guess we could write a plugin for HTTPS content repo but I was wondering
if there is something similar already out there?
Any idea on how to best achieve this is greatly appreciated.
