> What works for you?
The security constraint and login configuration I posted which requires SSL for
the entire context but only requires user authentication for a single JSP. If I
browse to any resource except the one that requires auth using http I get
switched to https as expected. If I then request the protected resource I get
prompted for my certificate.

> Did you even read what I said?
Yes I did. Quite carefully. Taking that attitude is not going to induce people
to help you.

This is the way the SSL handshake works. The server provides a client with a
list of trusted certs. If the client doesn't have a user cert issued by one of
the trysted certs the client doesn't waste time prompting the user to select
one.

That is new information. Your original bug report made no mention of using the
APR/native connector. I'd expect the behaviour to remain the same but I'll
re-test with the native and see.
