Certificate-based Authentication Tests

The Test Tool allows you to simulate user authentication and authorization. In the case of certificate-based authentication some additional configuration is required.

The format of the issuer DN and other attributes of a certificate may differ by Web Server vendor. For example, the issuer DN for a certificate on an IIS Web Server is different from the issuer DN for the same certificate on an iPlanet Web Server. To test certificate-based authentication schemes you must configure certificate mappings that will work correctly for different Web Server vendors.
