Controls whether accepted server-mode SSLSockets will be initially configured to require client authentication.

A socket's client authentication setting is one of the following:

client authentication required
client authentication requested
no client authentication desired

Unlike setWantClientAuth(boolean), if the accepted socket's option is set and the client chooses not to provide authentication information about itself, the negotiations will stop and the connection will be dropped.

Calling this method overrides any previous setting made by this method or setWantClientAuth(boolean).

The initial inherited setting may be overridden by calling SSLSocket.setNeedClientAuth(boolean) or SSLSocket.setWantClientAuth(boolean).

Parameters:

need set to true if client authentication is required, or false if no client authentication is desired.
