I have a tomcat 5 installation that uses client authentication. I am
trying to upgrade to Tomcat 6.0.24 and I am not able to get the client
authentication to work. I am using the same keystore and truststore
files. I am also configuring the SSL port 8443 using what I believe are
the same parameters. When trying to access the site, I simply get a
continual hourglass until the browser times out. I have included what I
think are relevant sections from my server.xml file and log files. Any
suggestions are greatly appreciated!
These are parts of catalilaxxxx-xx-xx.log:

This is the section from my server.xml file that sets up the client
authentication:
<Connector port="8443" SSLEnabled="true" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100"
scheme="https" secure="true"
keystoreFile="C:\Progra~1\apache-tomcat-6.0.24\SSL\keystore"
truststoreFile="C:\Progra~1\apache-tomcat-6.0.24\SSL\truststore"
clientAuth="true" sslProtocol="TLS" />
Thanks much!!!
