Client Auth failure:SSLException Received fatal alert: bad_certificate
Friends,
I have managed to establish a one -way https connection between the client and the tomcat-server by keeping theclient-Authentication=false
<Connector
enableLookups="true"
port="8443"
scheme="https"
secure="true"
maxProcessors="75"
debug="0"
clientAuth="false"
keystorePass="arps3241"
keystoreFile="/usr/local/tomcat/bin/arps-dev.keystore"
className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteConnector"
minProcessors="5"
sslProtocol="TLS">
</Connector>
. However , when i switch- 'on' the client-Authetication parameter i.e.clientAuth="true" in the server.xml for 2 way trust, I get the following error :-
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate
