Client Authentication

Hi,

I am using Tomcat 3.2 on WindowsNT 4.0. I have enabled SSL direct on tomcat.
If I access my server without client authentication it goes on well.
But if I specify client authentication then it gives me following error on
the server screen

2001-04-04 04:02:42 - Ctx(  ): 400 R( /) null
2001-04-04 04:02:42 - Ctx(  ): IOException in: R( /) Socket closed
2001-04-04 04:02:42 - Ctx(  ): 400 R( /) null
2001-04-04 04:02:42 - Ctx(  ): IOException in: R( /) Socket closed
2001-04-04 04:02:42 - Ctx(  ): 400 R( /) null
2001-04-04 04:02:42 - Ctx(  ): IOException in: R( /) Socket closed


The browser shows me Page Cannot be displayed error.

This is how my server.xml entry looks like

<Connector className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector">
            <Parameter name="handler"

value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler"/>
            <Parameter name="port"
                value="8443"/>
            <Parameter name="socketFactory"
                value="org.apache.tomcat.net.SSLSocketFactory" />
            <Parameter name="keystore" value="/tomcat/conf/newCerts" />
            <Parameter name="keypass" value="keypass"/>
            <Parameter name="clientAuth" value="true"/>
        </Connector>

What could be wrong ?

your help is appriciated
