Ronald van Kuijk commented on JBSEAM-744:
-----------------------------------------

I have a fairly good idea what they are. They are things you pay Versign way to much for. But seriously.... Certificates used for authentication is done at the container level (appserver) So that is not a seam concern. Mapping the outcome to roles might be, although in many cases the ' manager, participant, ....'  roles are done by the container as well. Most of the time not flexible enough, that is why Seam securiy is better. So far no need for seam to ' support x509 certificates'. 

otoh, being able to sign pdf documens is another issue, but not a real big deal, as is using them for accessing external ws. So if someone could elaborate a little on this I can see what I can do/find out.

Supposedly, they are nothing to do with certificates you get when you win something like a spelling competition in primary school. 'Cos if they were, we could have used Norman's PDF stuff. So anyway we can just steal code from Acegi. Then I can tell people "we've got a certificate for X509" in talks, and they will think I know what it is.
