Configuration of the certificate authentication mechanism

We can use the External Authentication Interface (EAI) protocol to configure a junctioned web application to handle certificate authentication on behalf of WebSEAL. For information about EAI, see External authentication interface.

• EAI certificate authentication
  An external application can also be used to authenticate the client certificate. This external application uses the EAI protocol to provide the authentication data that WebSEAL uses when generating the user credential.
