About this task
To configure DWA so that users can log in by using smart cards, you must edit the server.xml file, which is in the server/conf/ folder. The server.xml file is an Apache Tomcat file. For instructions to configure the server.xml file, see the Apache Tomcat documentation for enabling client authentication using the SSL Connector's clientAuth and related attributes.
To support encryption by using smart cards, you must have a keystore and certificate for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and a truststore certificate for DWA. Add references to the keystore and certificates in the server.xml file.
