All Implemented Interfaces:

public class CertAuthenticator
extends Object
implements Authenticator

This Authenticator enables client certificate based authentication. Note that it doesn't actually handles any credentials at this point since the username is part of the certificate passed into the CouchbaseEnvironment.
