Accessing ssl pages using client authentication

[Andrew Friebel]

When I try and access a page that is using client authentication, I get
a http 404 error (not available).
 
I need to try and access this page (using https) by the following
methods:
 
*       Web Browser
*       Another servlet (posting data to it).
 
The web.xml file for the authentication looks like:
 
<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>My Test Realm</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/RRTest</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
        <role-name>fis</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
    <security-role>
      <role-name>fis</role-name>
    </security-role>
 
 
  <login-config>
     <auth-method>CLIENT_CERT</auth-method>
     <realm-name>My Test Realm</realm-name>
  </login-config>
 
When I comment out this component of the XML, I can access the page
(both via https & http).  I believe that I require the above xml in
web.xml, as I want to access the certificate information that is sent to
it.
 
Assistance is greatly appreciated.
