There is another way to install your trust manager: we used this
TrustManager with a foolish service that never renewed their
certificates and we kept getting similar errors -- although this was for
server certs and not client certs. I suppose the same technique works
for both, since a TrustManager has methods to cover both cases.

Try something like this:

        TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] {
            new X509TrustManager() {
                public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                    return null;
                }
                public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs,
                                               String authType) {
                }
                public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs,
                                               String authType) {
                }
            }
        };

        SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");

        sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());


HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());


That last line is specific to ignoring problems with /server/ certs when
contacting them through the HttpsURLConnection class. You'll have to
poke around to find out how to set the SSLContext and/or SocketFactory
for Tomcat's <Connector>s.

Hope that helps,
