Hey everyone -

I'm stuck on Tomcat 5.5.26 to support a specific application. This is a Solaris 9 server with no Apache - tomcat is handling its own webserving. We're hoping to upgrade the JDK. I can use JDK-1.5.0_21 successfully. When I start tomcat with JDK-1.6.0_16, I get one specific issue...

Firefox, but not Safari or IE, will report on https connections:

        Secure Connection Error
        An error occurred during a connection to mysite.com:8443.
        Peer reports it experienced an internal error.
        (Error code: ssl_error_internal_error_alert)

Weirdly, there is no error in any error log when this happens.

I think this might be a configuration error on my part. Here's our SSL conf stanza:

                <Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
               acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
                keystoreFile="/path/to/my/keystore"
                keystorePass="somePass" />

... I notice that in other people's configs, they have a specific reference to a TrustStore. I have the CA certs imported into the keystore, though, and I'm using this config on other servers, with other versions of tomcat, other versions of the JDK, etc. (However, those are all linux servers.) I'm especially suspicious about this possibility because lately there have been other Firefox https bugs (like the Flash uploader bug) that ultimately have to do with verifying the certificate authority. Adding in a truststore doesn't seem to help, but maybe i r doin it wrong.

Thanks for any references or wild speculation you can provide.

- Nada
