Hello,
   I want to secure a servlet so that you can connect to it only if you have a certificate.
To do it, firstly I have setup tomcat to support https as in scenarion 3 here:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SSLSetup
The only difference is that in server.xml, I left clientAuth="false", as I want the rest of the pages to be accessible in a normal way.

Later, I configured my web applicaton as it is described here:
http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/jboss4guide/r5/html/ch8.chapter.html#d0e19521

The result I get is, when I don't have the certificate registered, it denies access, but when I have - I get an error message:
HTTP Status 401 - Cannot authenticate with the provided credentials

Did I miss something?

Adam
