The goal is to ask any clients to provide a client certificate and achieve mutual
authentication between the client and the server.
I have created a certification authority (CA) to sign the client and server certificates.
I have imported the server certificate into the keystore and added an HTTPS connector to
the standalone.xml configuration file to serve HTTPS requests on the 8443 port.
I have imported the CA root certificate into the Certificate Manager under Authorities in
client's Firefox.
Everything works fine and when I request https://localhost:8443 I get a page with a valid
server certificate.
The problem is, when I import the client certificate into the Certificate Manager in
Firefox and set the server configuration to verify client certificates
(verify-client="true" in standalone.xml) I get a browser error:
Secure Connection Failed:
An error occurred during a connection to localhost:8443.
SSL peer cannot verify your certificate.
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_alert)
while the jboss log on the server states:
11:01:31,142 DEBUG [org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint]
(http-localhost-127.0.0.1-8443-1) Handshake failed: java.io.IOException: SSL handshake

To be sure it is a bug, I downgraded to the jboss-6.1.0.Final where everything works fine
as expected, i.e. it is a only 7.0.2 version issue. I'm not sure about 7.1.x, since I
haven't had the chance to try it yet.
Btw, I followed this tutorial to get the PKI ready:
