I´ve a small (or big) problem configuring Tomcat 4.1.12.
Does anyone know how to configure the client side of the matter?
What I have done is :
1) Create a selfsigned certificate (master certificate).
2) With the master create another one intemediate for localhost (signed with the
private key of the master one)
- Import the chain into a keystore: server.keystore ( the master and
localhost, this last one with the private key)
3) With the localhost certificate create a user certificate (signed with the private
key of localhost).
- Import the user certificate into the server.keystore.
4) Import the chain into a keystore: server.keystore
- At this point all must be ok because the server authentication works
perfectly, when a client try to connect to localhost.
5) Configure the server.xml:
- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443:
<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" acceptCount="10"
debug="3" scheme="https" secure="true" useURIValidationHack="false">
- Locate the keystore inside the factory, CoyoteServerSocketFactory, with
clientAuth="false".
<Factory
className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory" clientAuth="false"
keystoreFile="C:\Documents and
Settings\mserrano\.jbuilder4\Claves\CA_almacen\ca\server.keystore"
keystorePass="396947j" protocol="TLS" algorithm="SunX509" keystoreType="JKS"/>
6) Configure the web.xml, if the auth.method selected is BASIC everything works fine,
the problem begins when I try that a context works with client authentication.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web
Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";>
<web-app>
<display-name>adminWeb</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>adminWeb.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>adminWeb</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<description>An example role defined in
"conf/tomcat-users.xml"</description>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</security-role>
</web-app>
7) In the client side:
- Generate a p12 keystore in order to import the user certificate and his
private key.
- Import in the Client (browser) the master, the intermediate (localhost) and the
user certificates.
- The user certificate in the p12 format (with the private key) and the
other ones with the X509 format: localhost.cer and master.cer.
At the end, the result is:
type Status report
message No hay cadena de certificados del cliente en esta peticion
description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect (No hay cadena
de certificados del cliente en esta peticion).

Please I´ve been trying to solve this problem for days and I am desperate.
Thanks a lot in advance.
