We had a similar problem when our certificate was invalid. We updated our certificate and the problem went away. I suspect, if you are not using a valid certificate (from a real Certificate Authority - like VeriSign, or Thawte, etc.), you would need to install the certificate you used on the apache to make this go away (we do this in our test environment - using self-signed certificates). To install the certificate, you have to go through the browser's tools.

It depends on what component is doing the certificate check, the Apache web server or Tomcat? I assume by "prompts me for a certificate" you mean you are using client certificates and not simply some confirmation that the communication should proceed although the server certificate is insecure etc. Are you forcing client certificates by some mod_ssl configuration (then it's an Apache web server topic) or by some security constraint or similar in your web app or Tomcat?
