[Htmlunit-user] SSL client certificate authentication with html-unit

[Kevin K. <ke...@ce...>]

Hello Guys,

I am currently using htmlunit to simulate scrapping of a  web page that
requires an ssl client certificate to be installed (https connection). This
certificate has successfully been installed in my windows OS . On access of
the given webpage via web browsers(chrome & IE), a prompt is issued to
select a personal certificate that will be used .  I would like to access
the windows cert store preferably this personal certificate to authenticate
and create a successful connection to my htmlunit client.

I have managed to research on the SunMSCAPI with Windows-MY to read the
store as shown in below code.
            Provider provider = Security.getProvider("SunMSCAPI");
            KeyStore store = KeyStore.getInstance("Windows-MY", provider);
            store.load(null, null);

            Enumeration<?> aliases = store.aliases();
            while (aliases.hasMoreElements()) {
                String alias = aliases.nextElement().toString();
                if (alias.equals("mypersonalcert")) {

                    Certificate[] signerKey = (Certificate[]) store
                            .getCertificateChain(alias);
                    Object entry = store.getKey(alias, null);
                    System.out
                            .println("cert aquired! got it");

                }
            }

How do I successfully integrate this to my htmlunit webconnection and web
client instance for connection?

​Input will be highly appreciated.
