Re: 2 way SSL ( client authentication)

The ssl-howto has instructions for generating a self-signed Server-cert.
You can't use a self-signed client-cert (Ok, I'm lying, but it's for your
own good:  You can with PureTLS, but for your own good, I'm going to make
you look it up yourself :).  The client-cert needs to be signed by someone
in your TrustStore.

 Hi all,



 I am trying to implement 2 way SSL ( client authentication) on tomcat 4.



  I am following all steps.

 But still have something missing.  ( all documentations descrips how to
 deal with certificates that are varified by CA).



 I need to know how to generate a normal self-signed certificate and how
 to use it in a proper way.



 Thnx.
