Hello,

How can I program a ssl client so that its client certificate is passed
to the server for authentication? Is there any sample code around?

Best regards,

- Joe

I wonder if the Authenticator class is smart enough to do that
automatically.

Set needClientAuth *at the server*. It's not up to the client.
