I’m working on a web service client which need to communicate with a server who has mutual authentication enabled.
I’ve done the following steps.
- Added the server certificate(self signed) to a trust store and set it to the
HttpsURLConnectionusing theSSLSocketFactory. - Gave the client certificate(CA signed) to the server admin to add it to their trusted store.
- Created a keystore by importing the client certificate and created a keymanager to `HttpsURLConnection’.
When I try to run this sample I’m getting an exception saying
org.springframework.ws.soap.axiom.AxiomSoapMessageException: Could not write message to OutputStream: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed; nested exception is javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed

Thank you
I think the problem was with the client certificate used by me. It has the following extension values set
Once I created a self signed certificate without any extensions and used it as my client certificate, it worked fine.
