WebSphere Application Server supports Java client authentication using a digital certificate when the client attempts to make a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. The authentication occurs during an SSL handshake. The SSL handshake is a series of messages that are exchanged over the SSL protocol to negotiate for connection-specific protection. During the handshake, the secure server requests that the client send back a certificate or certificate chain for the authentication.
