I am using Windows XP and running Tomcat 6.
I am trying to enable SSL on Tomcat. First, I tried it with client authentication.

It didn’t work – and I configured it to work without client authentication.

I have certificate installed on the tomcat server, and also the CA certificate installed on the browsers (IE & FireFox).

It still doesn’t work.

In IE the server doesn’t throw any exception except for EOFException.

In FireFox it throws SSLHandeShakeException: Remote host close the connection.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

    The SSL configuration as provided in the comments is highly suspect – particularly the keyStorePass attribute. I suggest you work from the Tomcat SSL docs and proceed in the following order:

    • Get https working from a browser with a self-signed certificate
    • Then get it working with a proper certificate
    • Then try and add client certificate authentication

    This does all work. It is tested as part of the Servlet TCK and every Tomcat release passes the TCK.
