Class X509ProcessingFilterEntryPoint

java.lang.Object
  org.acegisecurity.ui.x509.X509ProcessingFilterEntryPoint

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuthenticationEntryPoint

public class X509ProcessingFilterEntryPoint
extends Object
implements AuthenticationEntryPoint

In the X.509 authentication case (unlike CAS, for example) the certificate will already have been extracted from the request and a secure context established by the time the security-enforcement filter is invoked.

Therefore this class isn't actually responsible for the commencement of authentication, as it is in the case of other providers. It will be called if the certificate was rejected by Acegi's X509AuthenticationProvider, resulting in a null authentication.

The commence method will always return an HttpServletResponse.SC_FORBIDDEN (403 error).
