Tomcat Apache

Hi ,

Have configured Tomcat to use SSL with client authentication set to true.
Have imported client (which is the web browser IE) certificate to tomcat
server keystore.
But when I use IE to connect to Tomcat, it pops up a message box saying "The
Web site you want to view requests identification. Select the certificate to
use when connecting." Problem is that there is no certificate displayed to
select.

Does anyone know how to solve this using the current setup ?

regards,
Hon Luen

	The problem seems to be the CA certificate.

	There are two levels of authentication; one certificate from server-client
(wich says this server is ...) and a client-server (wich says this
connection is made from ...).

	For the server-client you import your certificate (I guess).

	But for the client-server (the client authentication set ON) you need "to
say" to the WebServer what certificates are allowed as client-certificates,
by importing the CA root certificate into the WebServer.

	Then the webserver notifies to the browser the list of valid certificates
that can be used to connect with, and the browser should show yours in the
list.
