Client authentication fails for ssl for Axis webservicw client

[Amit <am...@mahindrabt.com>]

hello All,
i am new to PKI but currently i have assigned task in this.What i need to do is set up a SSL over Axis webservice.I have configured Tomcat for SSL and it works fine for One way SSl.But now i m trying for client authentication i have some problem
i have done the following steps
1> Generate a Server Key and Certificate
2>Export the Server Certificate
3>Generate a Client Key and Certificate
4>Export the Client Certificate
5>Import the Certificates into the Keystores(Reference:http://ws.apache.org/soap/docs/install/FAQ_Tomcat_SOAP_SSL.html)

Now for client authentication  i need to convert my client.cer in client.pfx so i followed the steps given by you
1>keytool -export -alias client.cer  -keystore client.cer  -file exported.crt

2>openssl x509 -out exported-pem.crt -outform pem -text -in exported.crt -inform der

3>javac ExportPriv.java(downloaded)
4>java ExportPriv client.cer  client.cer  <password> > exported-pkcs8.key

5>openssl pkcs8 -inform PEM -nocrypt -in exported-pkcs8.key -out exported.key

6>openssl pkcs12 -export -out exported.pfx -inkey exported.key -in exported-pem.crt

so now when i m trying to call the Axis webservice through my client it is giving me this error

java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed



my Axis client code is

1>System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Tomcat 4.1\\webapps\\inteleakserver\\WEB-INF\\keystore\\client_keystore.keystore" );

2>System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit" );

3>System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs1","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");

4>System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Tomcat 4.\\webapps\\inteleakserver\\WEBINF\\keystore\\exported.pfx" );
        5>System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "changeit" );

       6> System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", "pkcs12");

please let me know where i m making mistake.

Thanks

amit
