Hi Mark,

you need to use a Coyote HTTP1.1 connector, configured to use a
org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory with the clientAuth
property set to true. See the Coyote part in the config reference. I agree
that more should be said about this in the SSL howto.

Note that Java validates the client certs against the CA keystore in
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts.

Hope this helps,
Janne
