Re: Support for cert auth in JDBC

I know of the CertAuthFactory code and have it in my list of items to
review at some point when I verify SSL with my project. That code as
indicated in the comments has the author as:

@author Marc-André Laverdière (marc-andre(at)atc(dot)tcs(dot)com /
marcandre(dot)laverdiere(at)tcs(dot)com)

I think that Craig Ringer, who has been active on this forum, was maybe
reviewing for possible inclusion in the PgJDBC.

As with any open source project there are limitations on resources
and contributors. If the thread ended on Nov 2, 2011 then that is
all the farther it went with the PgJDBC. If a patch had been submitted
for code to be included then Dave would have probably known more.
