Authentication via Certificates
Fusion Meta Data Registry (FMR)supports authentication via the use of an X509 certificate (in the PKCS12 format).
The Web Application Container WAC (e.g. Tomcat) must be configured to trust the certificate as the WAC is responsible for authenticating the Certificate.
Certificate Authentication will only work if HTTPS is enabled (is this correct - if so where do you do that?
When the request is passed onto the FMR, it will attempt to map the Certificate to a FMR user.
To support a new Certificate, log into the FMR as an Admin user, and navigate to Security -> Certificate Manager.
New Certificates are added by clicking on the cogs icon and selecting Create New Certificate Definition.
