public final class CertificatesValve
extends ValveBase
implements Lifecycle

Implementation of a Valve that deals with SSL client certificates, as follows:

- If this request was not received on an SSL socket, simply pass it on unmodified.
- If this request was received on an SSL socket:
  - If this web application is using client certificate authentication, and no certificate chain is present (because the underlying socket did not default to requiring it), force an SSL handshake to acquire the client certificate chain.
  - If there is a client certificate chain present, expose it as a request attribute.
  - Expose the cipher suite and key size used on this SSL socket as request attributes.

  The above tasks have been combined into a single Valve to minimize the amount of code that has to check for the existence of JSSE classes.

  ### sm

      protected static StringManager sm

    The StringManager for this package.

  ### started

      protected boolean started

    Has this component been started yet?

  Constructor Detail

      public void setDebug(int debug)

    Set the debugging detail level for this component.

    Overrides:
      `setDebug` in class `ValveBase`
    Parameters:
      `debug` - The new debugging detail level

  ### getInfo

      public java.lang.String getInfo()

    Return descriptive information about this Valve implementation.

    Specified by:
      `getInfo` in interface `Valve`
    Overrides:
      `getInfo` in class `ValveBase`

  ### invoke

      public void invoke(Request request,
                         Response response,
                         ValveContext context)
                  throws java.io.IOException,
                         javax.servlet.ServletException

    Expose the certificates chain if one was included on this request.
