Hi,

I have a problem with tomcat SSL session resuming using MSIE. In my webapp,
user authentication is done using the
"org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" valve and a corresponding
realm (PKI authentication). Now accessing the webapp, which uses a frameset
that might be part of the problem, results in the following logs.

*** ClientHello, TLSv1

As you can see, the MSIE client wants to resume the SSL session, but a new
one is created every time a new request is sent. In the logs I can also see
entries like the following:

http-8444-5, handling exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
%% Invalidated:  [Session-27, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5]
http-8444-5, SEND TLSv1 ALERT:  fatal, description = unexpected_message

Seems, the socket is closed after every request resulting in a new SSL
handshake. 

Here is my connector setup:

<Connector port="8444" maxHttpHeaderSize="16384" bufferSize="16384"
               protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" 
               maxThreads="150" enableLookups="false"
disableUploadTimeout="true"
               acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
               clientAuth="true"
               sslProtocol="TLSv1" 
               connectionTimeout="240000"
               SSLEnabled="true" keystoreFile=<someFile>" 
keystorePass="<somePass>"
keystoreType="pkcs12" truststoreFile=<someFile>" truststorePass="<somePass>"
truststoreType="jks" />

The strange thing is that everything works as expected using Firefox, i.e.
the SSL session is resumed for subsequent requests. But I need to get it run
on MSIE as well. 

Thanks for any help on that!

Regards,
Matthias
