Hello,

In our application we want to try to authenticate users first with a client certificate and if it isn't possible use a typical user/password form.

The problem is that I don't know how to do that in the web.xml because in the <login config> of webm.xml I can only set one auth-method (see at the end).

The documentation says: 
anonymous wrote : You can chain together multiple LoginModules to allow for more than one authentication technology to participate in the authentication process. For example, one LoginModule may perform username/password-based authentication, while another may interface to hardware devices such as smart card readers or biometric authenticators.

And its true, I can have multiple loginmodules without problem. But in the web.xml how can I combine certificates with user/password?

Code from web.xml:


  |    <login-config>
  |       <auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
  |       <realm-name>xclinicportal</realm-name>
  |       <form-login-config>
  |       	<form-login-page>/jsp/login.jsp</form-login-page>	
  |       	<form-error-page>/jsp/login.jsp?errorLogin=1</form-error-page>
  |       </form-login-config>
  |       
  |    </login-config>
  | 
  | 

A lot of thanks in advance
