i tried to research this more and found that you need to create a java authenticator? or has someone succesfully been able to develop this and be able to use it to enable log-in with certs or CAC? looking to see if there is a free plug-in or code that i can fork over. Just have a customer that wants this and looking at the options of what i can do.

Have you tried the CAC/PIV single sign-on authenticator for Atlassian suite? It's secure and provides smart card access control to Atlassian products.

I've done a basic implementation of this for a client - x509 certificates were in use.  Like you, I had to build a java authenticator for JIRA and Confluence.

The main problem I had was not the code, but that the certificates they wanted to use were fine for authorisation (you have a certificate, yup, we'll let you get to JIRA) but did not contain enough information to uniquely and strongly identify a user.  

The actual code handling the cert was only really a few lines long (it picked up the cert from the header Apache passed on to it, did a bit of parsing, and then did the identity scan based on the cert details)
