Hi I have successfully setup Tomcat with SSL and client authentication, and I have successfully identified myself to the web application using a browser certificate. But when I access a port with client authentication enabled WITHOUT sending a certificate, I receive an error from Tomcat. I would like to present a nice web page to the user describing the error, but I cannot seem to find where to configure the error page. If it is configurable, can I configure it per request?
Tomcat gives me the following stack trace (using Mozilla 1.4): Thread-14, WRITE: TLSv1 Handshake, length = 774 Thread-14, READ: TLSv1 Handshake, length = 141 *** Certificate chain *** Thread-14, SEND TLSv1 ALERT: fatal, description = bad_certificate Thread-14, WRITE: TLSv1 Alert, length = 2 Thread-14, called closeSocket() Thread-14, handling exception: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: null cert chain With IE 6.0 I get the following stack trace: Thread-13, WRITE: SSLv3 Handshake, length = 774 Thread-13, READ: SSLv3 Alert, length = 2 Thread-13, RECV SSLv3 ALERT: warning, no_certificate SSL -- handshake alert: no_certificate Thread-13, handling exception: javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: handshake ale rt: no_certificate Thread-13, SEND SSLv3 ALERT: fatal, description = unexpected_message Thread-13, WRITE: SSLv3 Alert, length = 2 Regards, René --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
