Hi,

I have one way SSL working fine as I have my web services exposed over https 
and I am able to consume them with a client built from the wsdl using 
wsdl2java. I would now like to set up mutual SSL so that I can allow only 
clients I choose to connect to my service.

I have tried getting this set up by creating a self signed certificate at my 
client and then exporting the public portion which I have added to cacerts on 
my server. I then amended the tomcat config for the url /applications so that 
it requires a client certificate. This means when I now browse to the wsdl 
address with my browser I get the following error: The request sent by the 
client was syntactically incorrect (No client certificate chain in this 
request).

I then made a slight change to my client code:

SecureProtocolSocketFactory spsf = new AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory(new 
File("N:/Workspaces/Webservices/HelloWorld/client-keystore").toURI().toURL(), 
"changeit", new 
File("N:/Workspaces/Webservices/HelloWorld/client-keystore").toURI().toURL(), 
"changeit");
                Protocol authhttps = new Protocol ("https", spsf, 443);
                  Protocol.registerProtocol("https", authhttps);

I then assumed that making a call from my client that everything would work but 
it seems like my client also get the same html page returned from tomcat now to 
say that there is no client certificate chain in the request.

Is there something else that I need to do?

Again any help is appreciated.
