I'm guessing that you didn't install your CA's cert in MSIE's root certificates. Since Tomcat will ask for certs signed by your CA, if MSIE can't find any (that it can verify the chain with), you get an empty box.
"Rat�n Lacarcel, Antonio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! I have a problem with Tomcat 4.0.6 and SSL client authentication. When I use the Internet Explorer browser (v6.0) and I try to access the secure URL (for example https://whatever:8043), an empty list of certificates is presented. However, if I use Mozilla 1.4 or Netscape 4.76, the client certificates are presented and the secure pages are available. The following environment is used: + jdk1.3.1_08 + Microsoft Certificate Server + Tomcat 4.0.6 My server.xml file has the following element: <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" acceptCount="10" debug="3" scheme="https" secure="true" connectionTimeout="20000" useURIValidationHack="false"> <Factory className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory" clientAuth="true" keystoreFile="C:\Documents and Settings\araton\.keystore" keystorePass="changeit" protocol="TLS"/> </Connector> I have also created the keystores and the cacerts (for trusted certificates) files. Tomcat also finds the cacerts file because I've added the following parameters in the Tomcat enviroment variables (and because I've seen it in the debug console): -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=c:\path_to_cacerts\cacerts -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit I have defined my own CA, my server-tomcat certificate signed by the CA and in order to create the client certificates, I've used the Certificate Server web tool, asking for a web certificate using each browser (Netscape-IE-Mozilla) and installing the client certificate from the browser. Could you help me please? If more info is needed, please tell it to me and I will try to explain the problem with higher detail. Thanks in advance and sorry if my english is too simple...
