Hi,
   Thanks!
   Could you give me some more detail information? Such as sample config
file, code or links.

Subject: Re: HOW TO turn on client Certificate with pop "choose a
digital certificate" window

I can see two ways to do this:
1) Tomcat-Specific:  Use clientAuth="want" on the Connector, and
configure 
the webapp to use BASIC auth in web.xml.  You then add a Valve that
looks 
for the cert, and authenticates the user based on the cert if possible.
2) Similar in that you still have clientAuth="want", but you have a
Filter 
in your webapp that looks for the cert, and if it doesn't find it it
returns 
a proper 401 response asking for Basic auth.  While this is portable
across 
containers, it has the downside that it doesn't allow you to use 
container-managed security (e.g. <security-constraint>).

Hi,
   I have set up HTTPS for tomcat without client certificate, and it is
running good.  Now I want to turn on the client certificate.
   How can to config the tomcat, let pop a "Choose a digital
certificate" window, allow clients pick Choose a digital certificate,
   If failed , pop a new window to allow user input "User Name" and
"Password".
   In file servrer.xml ,  if change clientAuth="true", then when client
is not in the "truststoreFile",
                "The page cannot be display" comes out.
  If change clientAuth="want", then, tomcat ignores the result of
checking client certificate.
  Thanks in advance!!
