Get client certificate DN in tomcat

I am writing a servlet for use in Tomcat 7, with APR and OpenSSL, which uses client certificate authentication.

While processing some request, how can I get the DN of the client that made the request?

Since in theory the servlet should be able to run in any container, is there an abstract method for it? In this particular case it is also OK if the method is tomcat/APR/openssl specific.

You really need to read the Servlet specification, particularly section 3.9

You want the ServletRequest attribute named javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate
