Client certificates in Tomcat 3.2 beta7
I am testing Tomcat standalone with client authentication on, and getting
some odd results. It works fine if client authentication is not turned on
(for both IE and Netscape browsers). If I turn on client authentication,
Netscape claims that I do not have a personal certificate, and IE asks me to
choose from an empty list of certificates. If I go via Apache/SSL, and
redirect to Tomcat, it works fine. Netscape lets me choose the certificate,
IE shows the certificate in the list, and I can see the certificate in the
SnoopServlet output.
Any ideas on the problem with the certificate request when I use Tomcat
standalone? Is there some configuration to indicate the type of certificate
the server is requesting? I am using a self-signed certificate, generated
via keytool, on the server. In the browser, I have a verisign personal
certificate.
Many thanks,
Barbara Nelson.
