But this does not enable client certificate-based authentication (I am trying to implement Estonian identity card user authentication)

After research I found a link where it is said that it cannot be done in Spark: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sparkjava/dnCKl-W018A

Fortunately it is an old post.

How do to this with SparkJava embedded Jetty container?

Do you generate keys by yourself or get from Certificate Authorities? – Andrew Jul 18 '16 at 21:19
I am currently generating keys by myself, but in the future I will be getting them from CA. – Priit Paluoja Jul 19 '16 at 16:00
So you can't connect to your app over https? Once I used this utility to generate keys http://www.keystore-explorer.org/. And it works for me. – Andrew Jul 20 '16 at 12:11
I can connect over HTTPS, but I cannot read client certificate. I need to do the same thing: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9901248/reading-client-certificate-in-servlet Unfortunately I don't know how to do this in Spark. – Priit Paluoja Jul 20 '16 at 13:13
Don't suppose you found a solution? – Mark Nov 16 '16 at 18:49
No, I did not find a solution. – Priit Paluoja Dec 04 '16 at 14:20
It seems to be possible now as of version 2.6.0 of Spark. Check my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45083389/7131155 – tpaczesny Jul 13 '17 at 14:20
Thank you! Actually I changed the framework to Spring Boot, which enables to do exactly what I needed. – Priit Paluoja Jul 15 '17 at 12:46
