Client Certificate not presented when using Sun JDK

[Cindy Jones]

I am trying to connect to a server that requires 2 way authentication. The keystore has a private key and intermediate certificate that the server issued.

I point to the keystore using the parameter -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore.

My request is resulting in an error response when I try to connect using Sun JDK1.4.2, 1.5, IBM JDK 1.5.
of HTTP Error 403.7 Forbidden: SSL client certificate is required. from the server.

However this works when I use IBM Jdk1.4.2

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

did you supply the keystore and/or entry password(s)?

[Cindy Jones]

Yes I did. The client certificate is just not being presented by the JDK. I tried to run the same code with the same keystore and certificate with IBM JDK1.4.2 and that works.
