All,

Just a heads up.

A few days ago I started to look at bug 59423. I saw all sorts of errors
when I tried to configure a clean Tomcat build for CLIENT-CERT.

As I dug into the errors it appeared that Tomcat wasn't handling an
unexpected connection close during the renegotiation. I have a patch for
this that I'll commit once I have completed some more testing.

I also spent a long time trying to figure out why CLIENT-CERT was
failing unexpectedly in some cases. The short answer is that it fails in
Chrome but not with FireFox nor with openssl s_client.

The failure in Chrome occurs when it tries to find a matching user cert
for the provided trusted certs. For some reason Chrome can't match our
current user test cert with the CA. My guess is that expects/requires
more fields to be populated than just C and CN.

I've been experimenting with a new CA created from scratch that
populates more of the fields and this does work with Chrome.

Therefore, I plan to replace our current test CA with the new one I have
created and, therefore, also replace all the test keys and certs used in
the unit tests. I'll also update the notes for creating these files and
the openssl.cnf with a few more defaults.

I might even get around to looking at 59423 ;)

Mark
