A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The documentation for setWantClientAuth() states that a value of 'true' will override the value for setNeedClientAuth(). This does not seem right because the application may not want to need authentication. It is more logical for a value of 'false' to reset setNeedClientAuth() because the two values must be consistent

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Parameters:
flag - true if the clients should try to authenticate themselves. Setting this parameter to false overrides the current setting of setNeedClientAuth(boolean).

ACTUAL -
Parameters:
flag - true if the clients should try to authenticate themselves. Setting this parameter to true overrides the current setting of setNeedClientAuth(boolean).
