Importing a certificate into Jetty

Question

The overall goal here is to have jetty be configured with a client certificate to be able to call a secure SOAP web service.

Does anyone know how to configure Jetty to accept a client certificate (*.cer) ?

Update: I did not find an easy way to implement a solution to my problem/question, but the sole answer here technically is correct!

Answer 1

Jetty can also use JK, so you could easily set up your certificate in Apache instead, to serve any https requests through it... More info here.

If you really want to setup Jetty for SSL, then here's the info.
