Dear All,
In our project we access a URL on a secured server, which asks for a digital certificate. For this every client is having a digital certificate. Now there is a new requirement that all the clients should not require the certificates. There should be only one, common digital certificate, whose details should be passed programatically, from an intermediate servlet, to access the URL.
So now we need to know how the use this common certificate's public key to encrypt/decrypt the communication between the servlet and the secured server.
If anybody has any idea about how to do this or if somebody can throw some light on whether this thing is possible to do using java.security package, please pass on the information.
I'll be very grateful.
Best regards,
Roshan Dawrani
