@Mark Thomas: I have been going through the documentation on
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1841/bncbk/index.html trying to come up with a set of security constraints that allow me to force SSL without asking for a client certificate except on a single login page, but there is nothing there suggesting a configuration where I can force SSL without asking for a client certificate: Once I set the CONFIDENTIAL transport guarantee and the CLIENT-CERT auth method I will be asked for a client cert when I land on a SSL page, no matter what. I think I am getting something wrong. Please, can you be more specific on the solution you suggest? 2015-10-06 16:52 GMT+02:00 Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org>: > On 06/10/2015 15:46, George Stanchev wrote: > > Mark, > > > > What are the possible issues with renegotiation?
