Can you please tell med what's wrong with this setup? I have one server runnig Fedora Core 3 and Tomcat 5.5.9 with Java 1.5.0_04. Tomcat is setup to require a client certificate. For this server I have generated a server cert and installed it.
I have one client running Windows 2000 SP4 with IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.0.4 For this client I have installed the same client certificate in both browsers. All certificates come from CAcert. Before I found CAcert I played a little bit with Javas keytool and created two certificates. The server asked the client for a certificate, but my certificate on the client was not recognized when asked to select one. It simple was not in the list. So I assumed that the server setup (at least the Tomcat part) is OK, but the client setup was wrong (and I don't mean Windows here... :-)) When I skipped the Java keytoolcertificates and tried certificates from CAcert I get absolutely no response when running with IE. IE just says that the server cannot be found. When trying with Firefox I get an error message stating that the server and the client cannot establish a connection as they have no common crypto algorithm (except I get the error message in Swedish...). What can possibly be wrong? Thanks in advance! /Bengt ps When I generated the cert req with keytool I first tried with out stating a key length or algorith the when I tried again I used RSA and 1024 bits. Still no cigar. ds
