    Subject: Getting info out of certificates

I am wanting to write a servlet which pulls out information from a digital
certificate. The certificate is being passed to an html page on a netscape
enterprise 3.6 server. The page then calls a servlet in which I would like
to do some validation.

I'm not sure how I can 'grab' the certificate let alone decode it.

I'm using java 1.1, and Jrun2.3.2 to run the servlets.

Please help - I'm really struggling to find this information
