Hi All,

I tried to get client authentication through certificate working.
No success so far. I had a hard time with a certificate chain and
it has finally worked. So server authentication is ok now.
I turned to client auth and here are some more troubles.

I've got couple "personal certs" installed in IE 5.5 but IE even
doesn't prompt to choose them. IE 6 does prompt to choose from 
empty list. Do that certs have to be signed in
specific way or have to contain specific extensions?

So, some questions:

1. What kind of certificates are considered client's one?
The "rfc2246 - The TLS Protocol.txt" looks pretty technical
and protocol related (I think it should be). Does somebody
find something about it (I tied to STW with no success).
So links or "success stories" would be highly appreciated.

2. I'm going to use certificate authentication with Apache, 
so does certificate go through mod_jk or mod_webapp?

3. Am I right that clientAuth in 
org.apache.catalina.net.SSLServerSocketFactory requires auth
from every connection made through associated connector. And web.xml
can require auth from certain requests even with clientAuth set to 
"false" in Factory?

Thanks in advance.

Anton.
