if you have a look at the RFC where the TLS is specified and the 'Client Hello' therein you can see that a random number -> session ID is required.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#section-7.4.1.2

In the Wireshark trace I see the correct session ID of length 32 in the browser trace and of length 0 in the Java trace. Therefore the Java implementation is wrong. But coming back to my question. How can I set the session ID in the HTTP client? In my opinion it should be done automatically. It might be an issue in the HTTP client development.
Why do you think a keystore is required?
At first I tried to debug with Firebug without success - that's why I traced with Wireshark (much more low level than Firebug).

not sure if i understand you correctly but what's the sessionid you mention
? do you want to authenticate yourself with server with your private
certificate (ssl/tls layer) or with username/password (http-layer) ? with
the first case you need to customize your keystore, for the 2nd case you
just need to open firebug or chrome-dev tool or sth similar to see what's
going on.

Thank you Kim,
yes I did not mention how I came up with the idea of a missing session ID.

I traced the network communication with Wireshark and compared the
successful browser trace with the Java trace.

The first difference in the traces is that the client does not send a
session ID in the Java case. In the browser case the session ID is sent by
the client and responded by the server. I am not 100 % sure but the session
ID might be required for the data encryption.

The protocol is explained here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#Basic_TLS_handshake
where the random number is the session ID

and here

two_way_authentication_with_certificates.svg

  200 is a http-response code, only means the request comes & handled by
server correcly, no error/exception, doesnt mean  the username/password is
correct.

try to use the browser to see how the login-request looks like in both
cases or simply log the server-response.

  |I want to logon to a https URL using Apache HTTP Client 4.3
The login fails. However I receive HTTP status 200 when posting the
request.

One issue for the login failure might be that there is no session ID send
in the|
|TLSv1 handshake protocol (Length: 0)

That raises 2 questions:
1) Is a session ID required for the login. If yes how can I set the
session ID.
2) Is there something else missing in the Java code below (except for the
correct URL + login/password ;-) )

This question is also posted (more or less identically) in
