All you should have to do is, (I don't know what browser you
are using) but for MS IE 5.5 try to open your site with just
a regular html page.  (i.e. https://mysite.com/regular.html)
Make sure your security settings are all turned on in your browser.
You should get a dialog box warning you that you are about to
enter a secure connection.  Click OK, then you should get another
box with the certificate info.  In the lower right corner click on
"View Certificate".  You will then see the certificate info, click
on the tab at the top that says "General".  Then click on the button
at the bottom that says "Install Certificate".  That should be all you
have to do to get the client side installed.  After this is done, reset
all your browser settings back to however you like them.

Subject: RE: problem with server certificate


i there,
I have apache +mod_ssl + openssl +tomcat on linux
rehat.

Now the problem is I have server.crt in my apapche
conf/ssl.crt/
direcry.  I made it through "make certificate
TYPE=custom" comand. 
Then I store it in keystore through the java keytool
import command. 
So now its trusted server certificate And I can
succesfully view the
server on my browser through https protocal.   As well
I can also
connect through URL from java application. 

Now I need to create one java application which
securely authenticate
with server. 
For that i used jsse (java secure socket).  But for
that i need to have
client certificate.  To pass the public key around the
sslsocketConnection through keymanager and
trustManager.  But I dont
know how can I make my own clien side certificate
which can also trust
my server certificate. 

So let me know how can i make my own clien
certificate?
Thanks in advance.
