Hi Everyone,

And thanks to you all -  for all of your ongoing help.

I can confirm the full hierarchy of certs has been imported into the java 
keystore for the JVM used by CF9.
The command line and the certman CFIDE plug-in both conform all certs installed 
correctly.

I can confirm our code is correct and that the web-service can indeed be 
consumed correctly by our code.
I can use the code unchanged on my local machine (without the requirement for 
https / client certificate authentication.

Moving on from this;
I removed the client certificate authentication requirement and the SSL 
requirement from the directory used to house the service on the staging server.
I then got some odd error about not finding a required library - another Google 
search later i have installed the missing libraries and can indeed consume the 
web-service correctly upon our staging server.

So I guess that leaves me with the issue now of;
What hoops do I need to ump through in order to have the calling application 
successfully present a client certificate to the web-service?

As always - thanks for any insight you might be able to share.

Gavin.
