Re: two way trust

2003-08-16 Thread Steve Kwong
Thanks Bill.

Upon using keytool's self sign cert I was able to get two-way trust working.
Previously I was using certificates generated from BouncyCastle, and it
didn't work (it could be my BC code that was generating incorrect/incomplete
certs, but with one way trust - the client needing to verify tomcat, it did
work).  Did anyone else experience problems when using BouncyCastle certs,
and if so, was there a remedy to the situation, other than using keytool?

 There have been very many client-cert changes since 4.1.12.  For using
Sun's
 JVM (which you seem to be using), you probably need to upgrade to at least
 4.1.24.  For other vendors, you need to upgrade to 4.1.27.  In particular,
 4.1.12 uses JSSE 1.0.x, so you need to upgrade to take advantage of JSSE
 1.1.x.

 As of 4.1.27, client-cert works fine by itself.  It isn't feature-complete
 in the sense that most of the Realms that ship with Tomcat can't handle
 client-cert authorization.

TOMCAT returning self signed cert

2003-08-11 Thread Steve Kwong
Hi all,

Any idea why TOMCAT (4.1.12) /JBOSS (3.0.4) on Win2K thinks the certificate
reply that I had imported (using keytool) into Tomcat's keystore, is a root
CA cert, instead of a trusted cert?

I have imported a certificate reply (created from my own CA) into a keystore
used by Tomcat (successfully according to keytool).  However, when I try to
access the secure site with IE 5.5, I am prompted a security alert notifying
that the security certificate is not trusted.  When I click on 'View
Certificate', it shows me that the certificate is an untrusted ROOT CA
certificate, even though the Subject DN and Issuer DN are different.  I had
expected it to say something like:

This certificate cannot be verified up to a trusted certification
authority.

... since the cert was signed by my own CA.

When I export the certificate assocated with this key entry, it shows up as
a untrusted certificate, and not an untrusted CA certificate.

Any idea why TOMCAT thinks the cert I imported is a root CA cert instead of
a trusted cert?
