Hello, I'm using Apache Axis on Tomcat 4.1. I've made SSL setup for the Tomcat server in the following way
1) Created a server.keystore 2) Exported to server.crt 3) Created a client.keystore 4) Exported to client.crt 5) Imported client.crt to server.keystore 6) Imported server.crt to client.keystore and this is my server.xml for SSL setup <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector" port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" acceptCount="10" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"> <Factory className="org.apache.catalina.net.SSLServerSocketFactory" keystoreFile="C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\conf\server.keystore" keystorePass="password" clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS"/> </Connector> This works fine - I'm able to see the page https://localhost:8443. But if I declare clientAuth="true" in server.xml. I couldn't hit the https://localhost:8443 page. My Client SOAP client code looks like this System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Tomcat 4.1\\conf\\client.keystore"); System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ww w.protocol"); Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider()); Options options = new Options(arg); String endPointURL = options.getURL(); arg = options.getRemainingArgs(); Service service = new Service(); Call call = (Call) service.createCall(); call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(endPointURL)); call.setOperationName("testMethod"); call.addParameter("name",XMLType.XSD_STRING,ParameterMode.IN); call.setReturnType(XMLType.XSD_STRING); String response = (String) call.invoke(new Object[] {arg[0]}); System.out.println("Webservice Message: " + response); } catch(Exception e) { System.err.println("Exception: " + e); } This says: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate Can anyone help me? Thanks, Vijay R
