CaC Logins........

Has anybody had experience with CaC authentication websites?
I would like to grab credentials and insert them into a database
via CaC. I already know how the server needs to be configured.
I will assume that I will grab cgi information for the credentials to be inserted.

something like this:
<cfscript> edipi = #right(CGI.cert_subject, 10)# </cfscript>

Any other thoughts with this one?

    Yes, assuming your web server is configured to perform CAC authentication, the appropriate data will be in the CGI scope. You won't capture the user's password, though, just their verified identity.

    Is there a way to test this is a test environment w/o being in the CaC enabled domain?

    This would be great so  could write the classes/components to migrate to the production and perform correctly.
